Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 23, 2024

Well, I’m sure 99% of the guys are watching the cute cheerleaders. Who wants to watch a Moony Jacka$$? ;)

So is Tiff now going to the game because of what Kip confessed to her?

we know who Taylor watches

Tiffany made a funny!

So, Steff is implying that Dez plays for the other team?

Tiffany looks good in black.

Dez’s shirt’s pretty cool. Looks like a B – 52 bomber with a circle around it. Long live th Buff!

That’s because 87% of the females at games don’t truly care for football and are only their to participate with their boyfriends or husbands.

That’s probably not true but it was the only line I could think of. ;-)

It’s the other 13% who have the real school spirit!

We never did find out who was hogging the bathroom.

So, we’re not going to find out why the bathroom door was locked yesterday??

I thought she might watch the Quarterback because he has more money than the Dimeback or the Nickelback. However, she may just want to make an Offensive Tackle on Kip and then play Wide Receiver. Of course, it may depend on whether or not Kip is also a Long Snapper.

The Mules are noted for their kicking prowess.

I thought that to be a cheerleader, you had to have a tight “end”.

Nice come-back Tiff…lol…

And the big ones.

is steff insinuating that most females at football games are bi or lesbian?

Whose tight ends?

“Remember how there were these completely rotten human beings, who worked so hard to ruin everything for everyone else, you couldn’t figure out why no one had killed them?” (Gahan Wilson, Nuts.)

Honesty from Tiff.

In our school annual for the year I graduated, there was a photo of a basketball player, taken from the hoop, looking straight down into his arm pit while doing a layup. The caption of the photo was “Right Guard.”

See – Tiff gets in a zinger now and then. Interesting how she is dressed. Is she running for President?

Wow! Moony Mules ! Sounds like an agricultural school?

This strip is kind of a historical marker for me: Last time I shared a base with B-52s was 1964, last time I was in a football stadium……..Ohio State, 1962.

Boasts the ever-delusional, self-absorbed Stef.

Ah, that explains the player’s skin-tight knickerbockers.

Is Stef dropping hints of her true inclinations?

So who was in the bathroom?

And wide receivers… but you knew that was coming,..

I feel like I just walked into ‘Innuendos R Us’.

Was that an inuendo?

Ah, football. Where you watch large men in tight pants wrestle each other to the ground in a grassy field, because it’s manly.

I’ve never been to a football game, but surely the game and the cheerleader routines go on at different times. Why wouldn’t everyone watch both?

Who was in the bathroom? Yesterday, she was banging on the door and shouting thinking tiff was inside. What gives?

so again we see steph’s self absorption, sure that SHE is the one everyone watches.

As a former male cheerleader in college, holding up tight ends was one of the perks. Backfield in motion.

So the stage is now set.

The question IS WHO will cheer for Kip the loudest, Stef or Tiffany?

And IF Kip gets hurt and Tiffany is the first on scene to “comfort” him, will there be any REPERCUSSIONS from Stef when the Kipster goes into PERCUSSION Protocol? ;-)

Stef, even Dez is better-looking than you are.

Yeah, why would a female want to watch some other chick shake her boobs and butt.? They’d rather check out the jockstrap package bulge.

It was just a matter of time before we saw some football-related stuff in this strip. IIRC, I may have even mentioned the possibility of a serious injury to the ladies’ favorite QB. Maybe it’s Stef who gets hurt…and that’s a double entendre in itself; sideline accident/collision vs breakup-induced heartbreak. Was the past “caring for Tiff in the Gulag” arc a foreshadowing? Will Stef continue to exhibit the lamentable modern young female behavior of entitlement and bolt in the face of adversity, should Kip be injured? Will Ox be a factor in all of this? Being this close to Halloween, I hereby posit that we are likely to see a somber strip to end the month: An ambulance will be seen leaving the stadium, and a character will remark about the scariness of the moment. The identities of those two roles have yet to be revealed. I like the idea of Tiff caring for Kip while Stef goes back home for the holidays. There’s enough fuel in this arc to get us to Valentine’s Day, with the usual Lu-Bern dialogue/DeGroot household antics fillers on Sundays, and perhaps a week or two away from this emerging football arc.

Watching cheerleaders and looking at tight ends aren’t mutually exclusive.

Nice to see that Tiffany genuinely loves football, unlike Stef who seems to use it just to get noticed. Maybe I’m wrong, but since Ox doesn’t seem to play in the team I think it’s likely that he and Tiffany will end up sitting next to each other. It would be nice to know why Ox isn’t in the team, Kip said he was very good at it.

Tif, the boys may like watching the “tight ends” of the cheerleaders, and, in the stands. But yours, while not being as tight as it might have been in high school, is still tight enough to attract attention.

I only watch sports games to see all the accidents and foul ups. That, and the halftime shows.

That not a true statement.

The tight ends of the tight ends, wide receivers, offensive linemen…

It’s the cheerleaders who watch the tight ends.

87% of the females watch the cheerleaders? I’m curious to know where Stef found this stat? And if it’s true, why would 87% of the girls at the games want to watch other girls jump around in cheerleading outfits? Besides, I thought the girls enjoyed watching the football players run around in those form fitting uniforms….or especially when the linemen took their positions just before the snap of the football. . . .(Thanks for the correction, Lord Hearteater!)

So who was in the bathroom?

The Mooney University MU symbol on Stef’s top looks like a wide open mouth. Appropriate for the person who’s wearing it.

Amazing how Tiff seems so rational and grown up compared to Steph the Ditz. It’s time for the college kids to graduate, get married and move this strip ahead. Big article in NYT or WaPost yesterday on how dangerous cheerleading is today.

Pantsuit and scarf for a football game? Tif looks more like she’s dressed for a job interview.

Ox should be playing.

Right on…….

I thought football games were “venues” for marching bands.

Same thing.

Some comedian (Robin Williams?) once said that “Football combines the two worst things about American life: Violence punctuated by committee meetings.”

Good one Tiff

HA HA! Double entendre! -Phil Ken Sebben

I gotta say, it looks like beb01 got it right: this week is just gag-a-day with no actual impact on anything. Combine that with last week’s arc, and it’s obvious that the strip is just treading water at this point. The last things that even looked like they had any import were Piro’s depression (and Luann’s absolutely idiotic idea on how to handle it) and Mrs. Horner collapsing, but how long ago were those? Just week after week of plate-spinning with no overarching story. How many times must we be reminded that Stef is awful (yet her roommates keep choosing to live with her) or that Tiff has a crush on Kip that isn’t going anywhere?

What will happen at the game?? Will there be an injury? Will Kip turn to Tiffany? I can’t stand the suspense! Oh wait…..I forgot….nothing’s going to happen, it’s Luann.

Which tight ends, the cheerleaders or the football players?

Stephanie appears to be wearing a bathrobe to the game. Maybe she ended one too many Arabian Layouts on her head.

This strip has quite an interest in football. Two of the main characters are/were cheerleaders and three of the male characters are/were football players. Considering how small the cast is that’s quite a large proportion of characters focused on a sport (or cheering a sport).

I had to look twice. I thought Steph had a zero on her sweater that followed the curve of her cleavage!

easter egg – trav & tay

Steff will tear her ACL trying to do an impossible stunt, and SHE’LL end up moving in with Les and Gunther

Get over yourself Stef.

Have they always had a mascot? Maybe the so-called U in the squashed heart logo is a mule shoe. But they shouldn’t have made it look like a squashed heart. It’s silly.

I was watching my friends/classmates on the field. The cheerleaders were only girls and they were bundled-up in thick sweaters and heavier material slacks. I’d rather watch the guys in their tight uniforms and amazing abilities. School was small enough you knew everybody or at least their family.

So who, if anyone, was in the bathroom?

Taylor does

I think it would have been funny if something had happened to prevent Stefi from getting to the game, but instead of losing, as she was sure the team would if she weren’t there to cheer them on, the team scored a major victory. And the cheer squad got on quite nicely without the (air)head cheerleader around.

And later, when Stefi is apologizing to Kip for missing the game, he says: “Oh. You weren’t there? I hadn’t noticed.” :D :P

At a community college game, please ! Saw a game @ AT&T in late 2022, greatest show on earth ! If you’ve only ever watched that on TV you’ve got no idea of the intensity and volume level of the non stop entertainment that goes on during a game! Thunderstruck Indeed !

So we never see Stef’s reaction to Tiff not being the bathroom?! Just as well… the fewer panels… or strips… or ARCS with Stef, the better.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be watching the cheerleaders unless they were the male cheerleaders. Tight end. YES!

Football uniforms are pretty flattering, with those big shoulder pads and the tight butts.

A web search says that Kiama, New South Wales, is a coastal country town 120 kilometres south of Sydney in the Illawarra. That’s quite a far flung conference Mooney is in.

I watch the tight ends!

The Az Cardinal’s cheerleaders are the ONLY reason to attend their games-sigh!
