I hope TJ didn’t do this, we like to suspect him, but he’s been innocent many times. Might make some bad decisions occasionally, but he’s got a good heart.
He can always use the money for another “real” restaurant, catering business (in fact he can cater the wedding). Please don’t write him out of the strip.
I would say that she’s not drunk in frame 3, but that after focusing on the cumberbund and the blurry picture, her dad finally noticed that her dress was too low and told her to pull it up – therefore her disgust and embarrassment.
Thanks all. I’ve been following Luann for several years, but usually am not on here unless there’s something I’m not “getting.” My other favorite comics are The Dinette Set and Pickles.
I’ll admit – I did that once – took back a dress that had a stain on it, had forgotten about it. Of course, they wouldn’t take it back. So I took it back home, washed the stain out and the next day a friend of mine took it back for me. It was funny having her explain to the clerk why she’d bought a dress that was too small for her and the clerk frantically looking for the stain she saw the day before. I did get my money back though. Not sure I’d have the nerve to do it again. And it was Sears!
I loved the smell of mimeographed paper. And when you typed the stencil, the ribbon had to be disconnected in the typewriter. If a mistake was made, there was a special rubber-type ink that was painted on the stencil. You waited until it dried and you retyped the word.
I don’t see any Old Country Buffet on the map when you go to their home page. Apparently they own Ryans (which there are a lot) and Home Town Buffet. Not sure if it’s anything like Old Country Buffet. Actually I used to like Old Country Buffet because you could pick up fairly healthy food without overeating and all at one price that included the drink. They also had a chocolate cake like my mom used to make. We called it upsidedown chocolate cake. When the cake was finished, there was a gooey chocolate sauce on the bottom – delicious and very rich. Our area no longer has Old Country Buffet but we do have Ryans which I go to about once every 10 years.
I am sad to see this strip go. It was my most favorite!
