Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 08, 2022

Perception makes all the diff. One is exercise, the other work! 8^ (

Don’t you remember, Tiffany, Stefani just carrying a lightweight item to the truck?

If you need someone to cheerlead while you do all the work…

It’s cardio, you dweeb! It’s better than lifting weights!

I despise Tiffany!

I don’t want to swear on this page again but the cheerleader has a new name that starts with a “B.”

Okay, Stef. Then your stuff can stay at the mansion and you can live without it.

I guess it would be too much to ask that Les take one look at Stef and makes a pass at her, totally unraveling everything.

Hey, that “development” would explain why Stef has uncharacteristically been wearing a two-piece outfit this arc.

Anyway, Hurry, Tiff.

Knowing Les, Ox is probably doing ALL the heavy lifting………,

That little witch WILL get her comeuppance…or there is absolutely no redeeming value to her arcs at all.

On the other hand, we all know what her “thing” is.

Let’s hope it was Stef’s stuff that Ox and Les dropped when they were taking it from the manse to the storage unit. lol

I see Tiff’s hair changed color from the 1st to 3rd panel. Probably some exotic conditioner she uses.

I wonder if Kip will show up to get his stuff?

oh I like Steph less and less…

Oh no “It’s not really Stef thing to carry box’s” Stef thing is to check herself out in front of a Door mirror!!!

“Enuf!” Shakespeare

This single strip alone perfectly sums up why it’s impossible to like Stef. All those bragging words and no action! Sure, it’s not her obligation to help Tiffany and the boys do their job, but after that speech everyone would have thought she was looking forward for an opportunity to showing her strength. Without a doubt, Tiffany is way stronger than her!

I’m liking Tiffany more and more, as she is developing into a really solid character, most of the time! She comes thru when she needs to.

I got a job once with a tree cutter who had a contract to clear a gas line right-of-way over a mountain. I hadn’t done any physical work for years, but I toughed it out and was getting pretty buff by the time the contract ended. The boss was impressed, as he had gone through numerous helpers who couldn’t make the cut- including one very chiseled weight lifter who, despite looking very fit, had no endurance. He quit 1/2 way through his first day and walked home.

Betcha Tiff could out-lift Stefi. She could lift 130 lbs packages or trunks. If she could, she could just toss Stefi down the stairs for all of her snide remarks about her weight AND not helping after bragging she could lift 125 lbs.

Ready-made for some Kip Lee storyline?

Monday Tiffany’s helmet hair had a little of curl at the ends, which I liked, made her hair look like hair and a shellacked dome. It’s back to a straight cut. sigh

I wonder if that taut body has any jiggle. Give me Tiff in a tee shirt any day.

Hey stef, if you go out and help tiff unload the truck, you’ll get verification of how hot you are when the boys can’t stop staring at your rear end..especially les. But you do you.

Then they stay in truck, Stephers.

Here’s a scene I’d love to see: Stephanie disses Tiff and Ox punches her lights out (not Tiff’s)!!

So much for working out.

Just when i thought Stefie couldn’t get any worse.

“OK, well, we’re going to put all of your stuff on the sidewalk outside. You either bring it upstairs or you can watch other people take it. Your call.”

This is where you leave all her crap on the truck and she can get it herself.

Before the school year began, could the ladies go to the college and ask to not put Steff with them in the dorm?

Yeah, prissy Stef will work out, but not work.

Stef, get off your butt and help Tiff out. #smh

Perhaps Stef will try to play matchmaker again between Oxford and Tiff like she did when she visited KK with Kip to see where Tiff worked. I suspect we might have a Kip sighting and he will probably somehow anger Stef when he ignores her and helps Ox move some of the stuff out of the moving truck (while Les ogles her and avoids any strenuous activity like Stef). I venture Kip will be more interested about talking football with his old pal and moving Stef’s countless boxes, Hairs drum set and all the other stuff Tiff got stuck with on her failed storage venture then being at Stef’s beck and call if he does turn up.

Think it’s time for a ‘come to Jesus’ moment.

Now why is Steff’s comment at the end not surprising. Tiff needs to suck her in to a contest of lifting Steff’s heaviest boxes and lose on purpose.

“I lift weights, not useful objects.” :-D

The local gym is in a mall. The stores near it had to put up parking for this store only signs as the gym members would park as close to the gym as possible taking up all the spots. Other patrons had to walk across the parking lot to get to the stores they wanted to shop at.

Posted a comment, but it didn’t register, or got deleted immediately, so will try again: Staph’s thing is to be less than useless by being annoying at every opportunity. Doing something useful and helpful goes against everything that she stands for and believes in. She is like a bad case of toenail fungus, COVID, stepping in a dog pie with your new waffle soled running shoes, walking into a door that was left partway open, an over-flowing toilet of unwanted advice, etc. etc. yada yada yada blah blah blabady blah blah…Some major insecurities she needs to deal with, and then start treating people around her a lot better.

Looks like someones’s stuff gets to stay in storage.

No reason for Tiffany to move anything for those who stored things with her. No storage place would do that.

Tiff needs to say: NO, get your rear outside and get your stuff Steph!!

Fine then. You can get your things from the parking lot.

Narcissism is unbecoming…in anyone…

And Stephanie proves once again that she is the most vapid, ignorant character in this comic. Since she is obviously going to be an ongoing character, I was hoping she would change for the better. What was I thinking!?

Skip’s not in town; could Les “step up to the plate”? or Ox?

It’s kind of cool seeing Tiffany dealing with someone so vapid and useless. Shows how much her character has grown. And it’s obvious Tiff likes herself better this way and doesn’t want to go back to being who she was before.

Bottom line: Luann and Bernice still solve all of the world and personal problems from Luann’s bedroom and Tiffany emerges as the most attractive and interesting character in the strip.

Just leave the boxes at the curb. Problem solved, Stephanie.

Actually, I think in some sense GnK are leading us fans around by the nose, which is not new. They have, over the last few years, been introducing new characters in the strip (which makes sense as the characters, aging in young adulthood would have a larger universe they interact with) who often have issues, which clearly is part of the dramedy behind the comic. My point is that characters who have a major role, such as Bets, or recurring ones like carrot topped Tara, or TJ being the longest tenured recurring character are positively improved through the benign influence of Luannverse, and I predict Steph is the current new character. She will be recurring I think, not like Bets who is GF/BF with a legacy character, Gun(ther), but this obsessive like Steph and Tiffany, who herself is learning to be comfortable in her own skin, humble even, preferring to dorm when she has a mansion to live in—Steph is in serious need of benign influence. She’s not Ann Eiffel, who is the classic evil character, or Tara’s murderous cousin but she needs work. so is redeemable.

Les and Ox are getting paid to move things. Stefi can move her own boxes but Tiffany cannot expect her to move any other boxes.

Didn’t they make a deal where she has to go live with Bets this year?

Well I guess your things will stay on the truck, or at least on the curb.

Yeah. Might break a fingernail.

Looking at Panel 2, I’m wondering if Stuffy Steffi isn’t aware that Tiffany had to move the stuff out of the mansion and into a storage lot?

Karma getting back to Tiffany for her abuse of Luanne

Greg made Tiffany look even bigger than usual today – is that meant to validate the exercise conversation? Why doesn’t he pick on Dez for a change?

Tiff should remind Stef that carrying a few of her own boxes will cut more muscle and besides, she can show off her new bod to the guys.

So I guess her “thing” then is being as annoying as possible while being as lazy as a box of hair then…

What is your “thing”, Steph? Walking around in your cheerleading uniform, and, or, exercise clothes, and, looking good?

hot your thing? how you gonna get your stuff

Now there’s a surprise response!

We charge an extra $25 per hour for “Not really my thing.”

Through it all, though… with Stef, I do enjoy seeing Tiffany get these reminders of what an insufferable snot she was in high school..

It’s Runaway Maisie…she’s still on vacation.

And still just as lazy.

When Steff is outside,I hope the temperature drops real fast.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

Hey Sheriff! Turn on the lights before coloring.

Steff & Tiph. What a pair.

Glue mirrors to the boxes and Stef is there

more of a narcissist than she was before

I’ve met Stephs before. All about how much they can bench, they do cross fit, but won’t lift anything that isn’t a weight.

Conflicted here. I do feel some sympathy for Stef, because Tiffany could indeed use an exercise regime. On the other hand, Stef can help carry boxes just as well a the Tiffster….

I don’t know any 19 year old who wears a bow in her hair, Stef. And Greg is not consistent with how he draws Tiff – her size fluctuates on the daily.

She has a “Thing”? I thought she was All Girl.

SMH and Rolling my eyes at Miss Admire Me Shoog. If any of her stuff gets damaged, she’ll be raging. This could get interesting if Ox, Gunther and Bets have a say. :-o

Too bad. Get you abs out here and start bring in the boxes. Now!
