Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 29, 2024

Well, it wasn’t a total bust… at least they got some tasty chicken.

Luann definitely needs to work on her flirty banter.

So will they still meet somebody else or?

Much better. Ah, the things I would’ve said it I thought fast enough but spoke before I thought better of it.

Luann sounds like Leslie Knox’s pickup lines?

Maybe not that last one…

Do you know what time it is? Three o’cluck! Har har!

Luann’s flirting plan just laid an egg

They couldn’t even give us one day of flirting at the Cluck Wagon. There is a word for this. It starts with a c and ends with tease.

Uh NO, Luann.

The Sleazy angle doesn’t work for you.

In fact, it makes you sound like a female version of Les, something the planet DOESN’T need.

So I guess just being yourself and letting the guys step up to you first is just out of the question, eh? ;-)

Now they are scaring the normal mother and her kiddo.

Wondering if a drink might normalize our girls…

Luann is scaring the children.

Hey, blonde girl, who are you and what have you done with Luann??

No, you shouldn’t have.

Well luann still has hope. She still have bouncy hair.

Shirley.. you don’t mean that…

Just like Piro—eh, Luann? Besides, that dude may have thought you were a “working girl”.

Some day there will come a time when you recall all those stupid things that you said as a youth, and they will haunt you…..like a hidden monster in the cellar, they will haunt you.

Dont know if any one else here noticed it but Greg got in another innuendo on th side of the chicken truck in the first picture

That’s not flirty banter. That’s a nasty come-on … and a good one too.

Maybe trying to hook up with strangers in a park isn’t a great idea in the first place?

Another weird story arc…..please bring back Delta….

Looks like the reality check hit them so hard that Luann and Bernice don’t want to keep trying, that’s sad. Let’s hope they recover and try to flirt again. Or it would be interesting see how they would react if some of the boys will approach them while they are having their picnic. It’s nice that Luann always tries to lighten things up with some jokes.

Do you like your towelettes moist?

Sure, just say it loud enough so everyone with an earshot can hear you.

Luann tells Bernice that he said “chickin.” But that would sound exactly the same as “chicken.” So why the misspelling?

Or she could’ve looked at his meal sadly with tears in her eyes and said “oh why did it cross the road?”

Now, perhaps, the young ladies know what it’s like for a guy to approach a woman with witty banter and just the right thing to say to someone they have never talked to before but find attractive.

Pru?

Goodnight everybody.

Cotton pick’n chicken Lick’n

Maybe Jack and Nil will show up.

Ahh… Luann’s dirty mind.

Why must there be a “featured” comment?

“I like chicken, too! Let’s…” never mind. ~ ❤️Eiffelette Extraordinaire Sex❤️Luann

I’d have swapped Luann’s pose in panels 2 & 3…

The right approach is somewhere between what was said and what she thought she should have said.

We need to flash over to the “Guys” camp and find out if Mr. Chicken Consumer was just as tongue tied as our Heroines’.

Luann, unless you plan on letting the guy get “lucky,” leading with double endres, is NOT the way to go.

Bernice is apt to “chicken out” because she’s such a dumb cluck!

There is no such thing as flirty banter, any more. Everyone uses their phone and swipes. There’s LOADs of videos on the usual platforms with women complaining that men no-longer approach them. Men have adapted to the grim reality of modern dating. The women must now adapt also. This arc is an illustration of how severe the need of said adaptation is.

i said turn right but smart guy didnt need directions

When I was young and single (40 years ago) men would approach women they were interested in. I never had to make the first move. And there were plenty of young men who would initiate a conversation with me. I would never chase after a man who was not interested enough to talk to me.

She’s got it! That’s witty banter!

“Thigh or Breast man?” “I can’t decide, they’re both so good!”

Finger lickers? Any finger lickers in the house?

Please stop this Trainwreck.

Some do and some don’t……….

For once Bernice is right.

Luann should put together a book of her worst come-on lines. Though since she’s cute, she should get a smile or a little laugh, so worst could become an opening.

Oh goody, another week of Luann talking about talking to someone, but never actually talking to them.

Well, cowboy, I’m a thigh guy, but it has to be Popeye’s spicy classic. Nothing else will do.

Is that Calvin and his mom in the last panel?

lol! I can relate as I always think of something I could have said…later. Love the sunglasses shadings.

The girl has a quick wit and sense of humor. This bares further exploration !

Luann needs to quit college and enroll in a finishing school where she can learn some etiquette, poise and class. Either that, or start performing as a stand up comic or a circus clown because right now she’s just a really repulsive obnoxious bimbo. Bernice is right to be embarrassed to be around her (and we all thought it would be just the reverse).

I’m with Bernice on this one. Luann is terrible at flirtation.

Hilarious.

Oh this is really fun, not quite done with all that teenage angst just yet, are we Luann ! ;-)

“Are you a thigh guy or a breast man?”“Neither, I like drumsticks and wings”.“Uh…okaaay…(slowly backs away)

was it intentional for the little kid in the last panel to look like Calvin?

Luann, none of those lame pickup lines would work for you. You would have been better off with a smile and saying “Hello!”

Flirty banter really only works in movies and tv shows. In real life, it sounds creepy…like in this strip.

“You’ll be a patron of the opera. You’ll get into society. Then you can marry me and they’ll kick you out of society!”

Anyone consider that maybe it’s the guys who are the problem?

Well, in spite of what Sheriff Mordecai said last week, it looks like Luann and Bernice have “reverted back to their factory setting,” as one poster before me described it. This being Monday, I hope I’m wrong and something unexpected actually does develop.

Got yourself some fried rat? Nice day for fried rat and basketball.

“Are you actually a brunette?”

so if there was some kind of sexual innuendo in that last panel I didn’t get it I guess that’s a good thing

Love that Luann was channeling her inner flirt, after the fact. Who has not done that.

At least someone says something.

She totally should have done the thigh guy / breast man gag.

flirty banter is NOT necessary (made a mistake); just “read the room” e.g. expressions, eyes etc. before making conversation that’s potentially stupid or unwanted.

Maybe they can head on over to Weenie World and make some funny jokes there.
