Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 22, 2014

You’re stuck in the past, Luann…its time to take the reins of your life and make the present the best of your future… ;)

“Those who fail Gym are doomed to repeat it…”or was it “Only the needle should be changed, to protect the record….”?…

“♪….Nothing’s Still The Same….♪”“Stame Stuff, Different Day”“♪….Life’s The Same, Except For My Shoes….♪”“Days Of Future Passed”or “♪….I’ll See You On The Dark Side Of The Room….♪”

It’s actually a new feature that Greg is doing… it’s called “Spot the picture and count the differences.”… He’s extending his talents to the ‘kids’ activity section, as well…

“Nothing important happened tomorrow”? Didn’t she mean “Nothing important will happen tomorrow”?

She’s staring into… the future……..ture… ure… re…e..

I know…life can be quite “scawwy wooking…” Heheheh… ;)

I see at least 234 more… ;)

Not only is it scary, I also heard that it’s pink…. – “Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’… into the fuchsia… .

You must have counted all of the spots on Lu’s pajamas….

Actually, Puddles is right there… Bern’s big ol’ head is just in the way….

I’m really worried about Puddles now. When was the last time we saw him?

Actually, Luann’s life Has changed…she’s got a boyfriend who looks like he’ll be hanging around for awhile, that’s a Big change. Also, she’s had the excitement of working with children, something I don’t think she could have imagined at her earlier age (13?!). So, Bernice, with these few examples, you are being so snarky… ;)

I wonder where she’s getting the new cassettes.

And the biggest change of them all?….

Her floor… you can actually see it, this time…. the monstrous piles of “chaos” must have been temporarily moved into the closet…..

ENOUGH.

Luann?

Raise Tape Recorder.

TARGET Bernie’s HEAD.

BRING Tape Recorder DOWN on Head with EXTREME Prejudice.

Go to a Malt Shop and ENJOY a Triumphant Float.

Aw, the history of “Ben Dots” aren’t as “spotted” and “shady” as you make them out to be… (snerk!)

No, I agree with you… you know how I just couldn’t resist the puns….

The night prepares for the coming of “Aurora’s light, The Muse invoked, sit down to write.” (J. Swift) In other words, I’ve “written” enough words for tonight…don’t everyone clap at the same time! :) (and, my IS has decided she just Has to go out…). ’Nite all… ;)

Deeper voices, bored words, growing perceptive, reliving the good old days

“Brought to you” by… – Styx Second Hand Wholesale Discount Liquidators… “Priced to move.. cos’ we’ve got too much time on our hands!”….– Tardis Telephone and Telegraph…. “See how low our long distance rates can be!…” – and by….The Past…. Resort in Las Vegas… “Whatever happens there…”

Oh, thank God! Nothing could have happened to him since Thanksgiving (unless Brad really did forget to feed him!) Thanks to everyone who answered my question.

Pud should be long gone…we doggies don’t live that long, you know. That’s why people have so many of us to love during their longer lives!

Bernice may sound cynical, but what she is saying is for the most part true. —Geesh, Luann, get a life!

Puddles has gone the way of mni-Elvis and so many others – here one day, then disappeared, and no one in the strip ever comments on their being gone, and no one who is still around dares even mention their names again. Their disappearance is scary, indeed. Shannon has wished them into the corn field.

<Makes me wonder if Puddles has quietly shuffled off to the C-Kennel in the sky and one day it will be mentioned…. in the past tense.>.I’m guessing you are correct.

I’m going to miss this strip.

Surely Puddles is younger than Marmaduke

A famous poet once said:

“Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.” -The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

Ha ha! – But as far as the second one, No, I definitely wasn’t going there… only meant the “Pink Floyd” reference, because of the fact that Luann changed her bed’s position from one wall to another…

29 years in dog years in Luanniverse is 3.2116 days

“. . .but with a different meaning since your voice is no longer squeaky.”

And now they’re “softly” herding everybody along for 8.1 and the other versions they’ve lined up already….

“Evans can’t draw CDs and DVDs !..”^Don’t worry… he’ll get a- round to it…. get it?…….. rouuuund …

And coincidentally, Win 1.0 was also intro’d in 1985…

I also question that. There’s a bunch of legitimate software from others out there available for free, even if it’s just as recent as last years’… – I did see One Note in the “Micro Shaft” store for free, but that’s it….

“…then why not make it public domain?”^Even better!– The one obstacle I think, though, would be their desire to use the “DMCA” (or maybe just the License Agreement that they’ll say people agreed to, in obtaining the product) to try to stop people from discovering their product through certain types of “reverse engineering” (though the process in itself under certain situations has been held to be legal) and the other related goings on that M.S. may be afraid will happen, if their tech hits the “Domain”.. it’d be like feeding “hungry wolves” (from the viewpoint of the ‘empire’, that is..)

It’s not like Linux doesn’t have it’s own issues…… – Desktop, etc….

And we’re talking actual programs and apps, not just O.S.s….

Glad you got your graphics up and running, again!…..

“A few Sundays ago. Shannon was hugging him in the final panel.”

Even better! What a relief!

@JPuzzleWhiz

“from Feb 16 this year. Not so long ago.”

Ahh, yes, now I remember. You guys have good memories.

I was anticipating “drunk Barney” also to make an appearance… -

My “marquee” HTML codes can’t do any of that fancy-type stuff, Lol!

Re: Luann preparing Puddles for her move to a dorm room…I think Puddles is going to be in luck! Until Lu moves on to university, she most likely will be bunking at home (most 2-year community colleges are “commuter” colleges). Sometimes, in larger cities, a lot of 4-year colleges/universities have many students who don’t live on campus; these are also known as"commuter colleges… And, then, there are students who like to chip in and rent an apartment… ;)

I really like your emoticons! ;)

About Win 3.1 being an improvement on the 5-1/4" floppy…I wrote one of my Master’s level papers on Win 3.1…for some odd reason, I never took the device out, its still in my tower! (And my paper is still on the disk). Keep saying I need to replace it with a DVD drive (I am So behind the times heheheh). I am thinking of getting another laptop (I have one, but would you believe it has Win95?!!!). Plays Civ-II and its add-ons really well…every once in a while I drag it out and mess around in Civ-II. Gosh, but that thing cost A Fortune when it was first came out =-O

You guys are a regular Riot…! ;)

ALL of you guys are funny…good fun for a Saturday’s meander in cyberspaceland… ;)

How old was Puddles when Luann got him? She was 13 and is now 17, (soon 18). That’s only 4 years. Most dogs live 13 to 18 years in RL, depending on breed and health issues. I’m sure he’s around, just spending less time on Luann’s bed.

“See” y’all sometime tomorrow…’nite! ;)

I went down to the local nursery this afternoon and bought a bush for my front yard. The bush is known as the “Lily of the Valley Bush.” It has cascading white flowers that look like long strings of Lillies of the Valley (small, white bell-shaped flowers). I’m probably going to spend most of the night dreaming of where to put it…its one of those plants one just Has to have, whether or not there’s a space for it! My tentative plan is to dig out an unproductive rose bush and plant the new bush there. I have an old yellow floribunda that never did flower properly, so that is going to go in the yard debris container, and I’m going to try that other bush to see if it will do better there. And Then I’ve been going through several Breck’s catalogs…sigh. All those flowers and trees and bushes, and I’ve just about run out of room to plant new things! =-O
