“When the comic strip launched in 1985, Luann was a 13 year old. Fourteen years later, she celebrated her 16th birthday in 1999. In 2013, she started her senior year of high school (one of the only times the strip moved in “real time”) and she graduated in 2014. In fall of 2014, Luann started college and turned 18. So how old is she now, ten years later? We think of her as a college sophomore, being 19ish for who knows how long. Stuck in her own Wonderland, I’m not sure if we should pity or envy her.”
