Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 20, 2024

I don’t know . . . personally, I understand where Luann’s coming from . . . I mean, I’ve faced tons of disappointment, hardships, and crises all throughout my life, and honestly, I do find it difficult to find good in anything – especially now that the country is basically doomed. My personal philosphy has been it’s better to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised, than to get your hopes up and face disappointment; everyone says it makes me negative and pessmistic, I think it makes me realistic.

HAPPY 85th BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!!!!

Life can be complicated. Go Luann.

Yes – Ask too many questions and get fewer answers.

Going from a Blank Slate to a Black Hole: sucking out all the joy from a nice insight on life.

TODAY’S HEADLINE: “Comcast will announce the spin-off of cable networks Wednesday, sources say”. I guess this will finally teach maddow, o’donnel and the rest of these SHAMELESS, LYING LIBERAL SHILLS the difference between propaganda and actual NEWS! Buh=BYE!!!!!

Upbeat people find good in everything. It’s just in their nature. That could be annoying sometimes. Luann, you have to FIND the good. LOOK for it. Change your worldview.

Mrs. Horner is right. Life is not complicated! Looking for a deep meaning is wasting your time. Just find the good!

This week’s theme is a nice, relaxing respite from the drama and angst of the previous one. I just wish I could be more like Mrs. Horner.

82

Most old people are so grumpy, my grandmother is the typical grumpy grandmother stereotype.

Lu is harshing Ms. Horners vibe.

Yes… stop giving her cookies…

Nothing wrong with having a lot of questions as long as you actively seek the answers, Lu.

Just read a lot more. BOOKS I mean.

And I believe the late Great Kurt Vonnegut’s once said that people who aspire to be writers should “write like crazy,” every chance they get.

Perhaps You can start by writing satirical, sometimes incendiary comments to this Strip each and every day. ;-)

PS: Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle, GREAT book. And Ice-Nine, a delightfully insidious idea.

After Luann leaves, Mrs. Horner calls her doctor for a prescription for Prozac

Listen to Mrs. Horner, Luann.

“Chill out, what ya yellin’ for?

Lay back, it’s all been done before

And if you could only let it be

You will see

… Somebody else

’Round everyone else

You’re watching your back

Like you can’t relax

You try to be cool

You look like a fool to me

Tell me

… Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life’s like this, you

And you fall, and you crawl, and you break

And you take what you get, and you turn it into

Honesty and promise me I’m never gonna find you faking

No, no

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life’s like this, you

And you fall, and you crawl, and you break

And you take what you get, and you turn it into

Honesty and promise me I’m never gonna find you faking

No, no, no"

(watching paint dry)

sounds like B.S., like what’s on Luann’s shirt.

Join the Navy, Luann.

Well, Luann, when you’ve accumulated 90+ years of life data points, the way that Mrs. Horner has, mundane things are WAAAAY less mysterious.
