Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 25, 2024

SHEESH, Tara!

WHERE exactly did you go “birdwatching?”

Area 51?? ;-)

Tara, Birdwatching is not that dangerous, Oh please Luann.

Cool story, bro

I almost thought she telling Luann about a story she was working on for their writing class . . . from a squirrel’s perspective.

Girls.. I think I see Piro over in that bush.. Sic ’em!! LOL

I did all the same things this weekend, Tara. Lara Croft will never be the same again.

Why is Luann the striving author when it’s Tara with the imaginative mind??

Sounds like she was in 10000BC on La Brea..

If Luann is in her second year of community college, it might be time to think of transferring to Mooney Uni, maybe living in a dorm with a campus job, meeting new people and declaring a major. She could still see all her old friends but not be so bored.

I did all of that too, Tara. Then I saved the game and walked away.

My tractor skidded off th road in to a irrigation ditch an I thought it was gonna turn over. My whole life flashed befor my eyes an I was never so bored in my whole life

birdwatching in the ghetto

I know a serial boolsheeter when I hear one.

For me the Sunday comic is far more entertaining than the weekly ones!

Like all too-perfect, elaborate daydreams and fantastic conspiracy theories, they are mostly BS, but still with a strand of truth in them. Tara probably did go birdwatching, and maybe heard some dogs barking and people yelling off in the distance, but that’s about it. Often times, people with low self-esteem will take normal, everyday experiences, and turn them into harrowing, hair-raising stories of daring feats and drama. They do this because they are unhappy with who they are, they feel unfulfilled in their lives, they want to feel better about themselves, and want other people to think that they are a lot more interesting than they actually are. Such is the case here.

Adrenaline versus boredom. Sometimes boring is good. Opposites attract here on this toon, all the better for its humorous perspective.

I like mine over medium with sausage and hash browns.

So THAT’S the Pitts!

Tara is such a thrill seeker.

Avoid tern nesting areas if you want safe bird watching.

Newsflash! All those PRIVATE PROPERTY and NO TRESPASSING signs aren’t just there for flavor, you know!

Luann will die? Will that make any difference in the strip?

Thought Tara was relating a creative writing action story until the last panel. Shucks!

What did Tara do to the pack of dogs to make them angry?

This is what happens when Tara listens to Mrs Horner’s advice on the best places to go Birdwatching! I love Tara with her crazy desire to try things. As dangerous as it may be, I wish Luann would follow her more in her adventures. Although there is always the possibility that she won’t come leaving her alone. It’s always kind of sad to see how boring Luann finds her life, but she always knows how to make a joke about it.

“Birdwatching” — Great topper!

Tara died her red hair?

Better keep your distance, Luann, or you’ll be caught in the crossfire.

Does Tara really do any of these things, or does she just tell tales?

Sounds like her bird watching expedition was a little too close to Area-51.

Extreme bird watching!

That particular tale is taller than the pole.

Sounds like the next #1 country music song.

Good strip today but not loving Tara’s brown hair color her vivid red suits her much better. And I miss her short sassy pixie cut.

I thought that Tara was telling Luann about the dream she had the night before. Panel #3 zigged when I thought that it was going to zag,

Patented misdirection play, happens all he time with this strip.

The strip never shows us any of those adventures.

Has Tara forgot to dye her hair pink?

ah a day without that creep piro

Piro arc is over?

Tara is delusional. Doesn’t Luann ever call bs on her stories?

Some of you must not have met obsessional birdwatchers (AKA birders). This is very funny if you have.

No one can say Tara doesn’t have an imagination.

Take a walk on the wild side

Phychosis

The man who lent his name to Ian Fleming’s famous spy, James Bond, was an orinthologist, that is , a professional bird watcher.

I get the feeling both Piro and Tara are very self destructive in their own ways.

I can relate to this as there is actually no length that truly obsessed birders such as myself will go. Coincidentally I am about to embark on a self-guided birding trip to Thailand, and a concern I have about my first stop is the area is known to have packs of wild dogs! There I’ll be climbing 500 steps on a mountainside up to a temple which is a birding hotspot. People who think that birders are a bunch of grannies sitting around watching birds at our feeders, are about 99% mistaken.

“….. although that time I spied a roc was a bit risky.”

Complaining again about being bored. Well, Luann, you did have the chance to do something that wasn’t “boring,” but you backed out of it and pretended to be a thrill-seeker instead.

If Tara and Luann are about to help Piro with the kids, Luann is about to be super thrilled and Tara is about to be super bored.

She must have been watching Columbian Snowbirds.

Luann’s cousins are normal
