Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 02, 2023

you’re welcome, Luann, for letting your father do all that plumbing for nothing

As I spring forward tonight (because for fifteen years I have outright refused to conform to G.W. Bush’s nonsensical of extension DST when I’ve always hated DST), I’m going to miss how for the past month, I didn’t have to stay up until 1am to see and comment on the new comics, I could do all that at midnight instead. I may be a lifelong night owl (and according to my mother, I was even before I was born), but I’ve finally reached an age where staying up too late leaves me exhausted and cranky in the morning.

I’m glad I had the kind of dad who taught me how to remove the trap from a drain. It’s not hard to do and doesn’t require a lot of strength.

another Sunday, another joke on dad!

Why is she even wearing earrings? It’s not like she has a date or anything.

Ummm why isn’t it Luann under the sink with Dad talking her through it? Your earring, your carelessness, your back laying half under a sink.

When I first got out of the Air Force I did maintenance at an apartment complex. The traps were all glued nothing removable with out a saw. The manager would not let us cut them to get things out. His attitude was they should have been more careful. I figured out that if if put a tampon on a coat hanger, shoved it past the trap and ran some water it would swell. I then could pull it back and it would push everything back up into the sink. Rescued many ear rings that way.

You would think this is another episode of “Luann is a jerk” and in a way you would be right, Greg could just as easily have had Nancy lose the earring. But no, Luann has to be the butt of every joke. However the real dimwit today is the guy who put his head under the pipe he was trying to remove.

That selfish harebrained airhead didn’t even say thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Luann nice to see you again.

“Chonk?”

“Spludge?”

I know that this is a “family strip,” but where is the ”@#$%!?”

Hilarious!!!¡!! No butt crack?

SPLUDGE

I have dropped a few down the sink. That is why I don’t take them off or put them on near a sink anymore.

Hey, where’s ExLax???

I remember going around to my sister’s to unblock her kitchen sink, emptied the gung into a basin, passed it out to my sister, and you guessed it, she poured the lot down the sink before I got the trap back on. And yes I was still under the sink……

Luann trotting right out – leaving her dad in a mess. Once again, G & K have Luann acting like a ten year old. This little bird should be ready to fly out of the nest.

Clueless Luann.

Work your way up to 4 inch ear gauges. They won’t go down the drain

Must be old fashion pipes. The new plastic ones are easier to work with.

For any readers who have been asking for more of Luann in the episodes, certainly got it today. It was ALL about Luann. No thanks for Frank’s efforts. Nuthin.

Tell that to your father.

Double win! If they can’t get a plumber to fix the drain, Luann won’t have to do dishes tonight.

Well, I’m guessing the drain needed cleaning anyway… So, while your there…

Our beloved heroine, Ann❤️Eiffel, would have simply had some poor dupe go out and buy her a new pair. More expensive, of course. We all ❤️ Ann ❤️ Eiffel and anxiously await her return to regale us with her latest adventures with smitten poor dupes. You know who you are.

Make her clean it up.

Typical ungrateful LuAnn. Since she found the earring, no thanks to Frank/dad for the trouble he went to pull the trap to try and retrieve it.

Poor Frank. But on the bright side, that sink really looked like it needed unclogging in the near future.

Evidently dad has never learned to put off, put off, put off.

Frank wasn’t doing anything important so it’s good that Luann was able to give him a Sunday morning activity!

I think she wears earrings every day. We just can’t see them because she has her shirt on.

He’s doing it wrong!

Rule no. 1. Stay clean.

Rule no. 2. Bring a bucket for trap water.

Rule no. 3. Don’t climb inside the dåmn cabinet to loosen the trap connections!

Time to kill the air head absolutely no room under bathroom sink

my wife got rest her soul considered earrings her makeup

this SO not even funny…it’s inconsiderate.

Is Luann as insensitive as Tiffany, or do the cartoonists just have a rather stereotyped view of their main characters?

Monday: Dez offers, but does Stef accept??? :-/

Hey, Luann, you’d better thank your father for his efforts or next time you need him for something like this he’ll tell you to do it your own da** self.

“Oh, you lost an earring down the sink? I’ll show you where the tool box is. After that you’re on your own."

Poor Frank. Looks like he’s been in a fight.

Didn’t hear a “thank you for trying, Dad” out of her self-centered ungrateful mouth.

I think your Dad sees it differently.

Frank WORKING!? Was this strip meant as an April Fool’s joke?

If you have long hair, it’s a good idea to clean the U-trap in your sink periodically, so the effort’s not a waste. However, Luann should be the one doing it, or at least help her dad out in exchange for the effort.

The day of those not you.

Frank, the unsung hero of the sink trap!

For Pete’s sake, how clever does a human being have to be to choose a non-pierced surface over which to install earrings?!

Just use it for fuel when she want’s something else.

Being an airhead is one thing. Being an extremely impolite, entitled boor is quite another. Not even talking to her father, let alone thanking him, would be inexcusable in a 9-year—old, let alone a 19-year-old. Frank should tell Luann so, though of course that won’t happen.

“The Drain Is A Strain, That Mainly Is A Pain”

“Hard Of Earring”

“It’s A Trap!”

“Who Put The CHONK! In The CHONK-A-Donk-A-Donk?”

“The Irate-ful Dad”

Right??

What a useless brick the airheaded Luann has become!

Gah! She makes me gag, she is so oblivious….

Well, if there was sludge then it was not all for naught.

My grandfather refused to take apart the plumbing for dropped earrings. My uncle’s stepdaughter dropped a diamond earring down the sink drain, and it became a battle royale between the girl’s mother and my grandfather. The earring was never recovered.

I appreciate the responses to my question about ear piercing. I didn’t get mine done until I was almost 30. When I was a teen I begged to have it done. My mom told me the only way we could do it was to use those self piercing earrings. She did hers first and then my younger sister. Both turned out beautifully. At last it was my turn. I wore them and wore them but no matter how much I pushed in them they would NOT go all the way through. Eventually my ears got infected! My mom said I give up!!! Your ears are just too thick to ever get pierced. Someday when you can afford it you can get it done yourself. I spent years believing my ears were just too weird to ever be like everyone else’s. Finally, on my 29th birthday I just walked into a salon and said let’s get it done. I was truly afraid my ears would break the piercing gun! But two easy clicks later and it was done and I’ve never had any trouble out of them sense. And I now have a vast collection of earrings I enjoy wearing daily.
