Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 30, 2022

oh, Luann, like you’ve had funny misadventures

Few Lessons Learned. ✨

Or.. she could use her imagination and make up something funny that didn’t happen to someone she knows.

Drool is always good for a laugh! 8^ )~

She lays it out loud, only things that make people laugh at Luann are funny. Bernice has a strange, mean sense of humor

Luann’s comment in the last panel says it all. She doesn’t find laughter at her expense funny.

Clueless, and mean spirited. Losing interest in this strip.

Nice to see Puddles on a day beside Sunday!

SHEESH, Bernice.

This whole thing was YOUR “idea.”

So, sit down and prepare to be laughed at.

Bernice is demonstrating an embarrassing lack of self awareness. Laughing at Luann’s expense defines Bernice. Hypocrite. (Or maybe the writing is unaware.)

Bernice is afraid Luann is going to succeed. She has to start getting her jabs in before that happens.

SO Luann DID make fun of other people but kept quiet until she got on her recorder and spilled them all. Now she is sharing them with Bernice. Luann might look like a goody-two-shoes girl next door but she has a dark side that only Bernice knows…

Bernice is a hypocrite.

Luann still has a long way to go to become an author. Pretty much all teenagers books series have a main character full of problems and flaws, and readers love them for that very reason. In my opinion, the problem here is not that Luann doesn’t want to make a bad impression by telling her adventures, but it’s her low self-esteem and it’s sad to see this again.

One of the more grand ones was when Gunther was headed into the library before hours, the sprinklers soaked him, and Luann walked in to catch him in the nude, changing out of his soaked clothes and into his “Billy The Bookworm” outfit. Gunther’s “Billy The Bookworm” outfit was one of Greg’s more far – out innuendos. If I recall, Luann was smiling at what she saw…

Oh boy—just what the country needs!!

Another Don Rickles!!

Luann has a point.

Self-deprecation is rarely funny.

Thanks, Luann, I need to be grossed out before breakfast.

What happened to the bathroom fiasco she mentioned yesterday? Is that no longer an option?

Chapter not yet recorded has Bernice laughing at Luann.

Don’t forget “Bernice’s Public Toilet Fiasco”..

Anyone else find Luann admitting she’s not funny sort of ironic?

Choose the ear piercing. You can just read “Luann Againn” for inspiration.

I’m sort of in a mood today, so here’s the rant. I don’t like “humor” which denigrates someone else, especially when it is calculated to humiliate. Gentle teasing is one thing, but to purposefully expose someone else to ridicule, in my opinion is appalling. I don’t want to be treated in such fashion, so I do my best not to treat another thusly. I’m not perfect and sometimes I succumb to a baser instinct, but I do try and it appears to me what passes as humorous these days is designed to denigrate. End of rant…apologies.

“Nope. I’m not funny.” Finally! Luann acknowledges the problem with this comic.

It’s interesting to see how many people are taking Luann’s side today. I mean, I despise Bernice as much as anyone, but she’s got a point here. Luann is headed for failure and some much-deserved humiliation if she decides to base her entry on ridiculing others. Too bad it won’t lead to any self-awareness on her part, since G&K are determined to avoid any character growth these days.

So it’s okay for Bernice to insult and make fun of others, but it’s wrong when others do it? For someone so smart, Bernice is very hypocritical.

Bern wants Luann to write about herself so that she can laugh at her.

I don’t know I think you should go with Tiffs test.

And all this is over a measly 50 buck prize.

You could make more at a summer job

“…Why, I am practically a Greek tragedy.”

if writing good comedy means being able to laugh at yourself, i.e. learning not to take yourself so seriously (which I agree it is) then the solution here is for both of them to enter the contest. Lets see if they can each do this.

What about that diary entry about Bernice?

Truer words were never spoken . . .

OK. For all you people who are screaming about what a vicious b**ch Luann is for thinking about writing “mean” things about other people…..that problem is easily solved.

1. Luann changes all the names.

2. Luann includes this statement with her story:

“This story is a work of fiction. The characters, incidents, and dialogue are drawn from the author’s imagination and are not to be construed as real. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.”

It works for other people.

Years ago Luann and Aaron Hill were paired up (!) and they wrote a short story called “Bob’s Infected Nose”. It won a school contest. Maybe Luann should dig it out.

“Mind Your Makeup”

“You Know The Drool”

“Expense Account”

“Puttin’ On The Ditz”

“Announce Of Prevention”

“One For The Funny”

“Gym Dandy”

Just announced on the news:

He introduced “glasnost” (openness) to Russia, and was instrumental in the tear-down of the “Iron Curtain,” and ended The Cold War.

Mikhail Gorbachev has passed on at the age of 91.

R. I. P.

nothing wrong with self depracating humor

Well if she’s not funny, she’s certainly not going to be able to WRITE funny. Her piece is looking meaner and nastier by the minute.

I don’t know, if another “luan” will appear in this comic strip. One that is named “luan Loud”. You got watch out for that pratical joker, Luann. You know what I mean. I don’t know if I spelled Ms. loud’s name correctly.

Nope

Luann is not far enough removed, emotionally, from her own angst to write about herself – as demonstrated a few days ago when Bernice said that her romantic foibles were amusing. Remember Luann’s expression? She clearly wasn’t at all amused. In today’s strip, when she says, “I’m not funny,” she means that the things that happen TO HER aren’t funny. I don’t honestly see anything very funny about any of the incidents she wants to write about. Don’t think a prize is forthcoming.

I’m sorry but none of the ideas she has proposed seems that funny to me.

The Degroot Tape Letters

Luann is looking both air-headed and singularly selfish. Not a good look for this immature California Girl!
