Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 12, 2015

There’s that cutle little face Luann makes (8^9) when she’s focused or in a big task…. – In fact…at this rate, she’s become a “fire fighter” twice … and at least passed her “postal worker” test…. – Quill really is a good actor! He timed his “excitement” to a nearly “flawless” degree, so much so, until it wasn’t much else to put into the hatch…

Hmmm, “super-focused” on what, Quill?

All his senses were focused and alive, except his common sense. THAT sense would have reminded him that his luggage might be a bit heavy and he should help…

“Case Worker”“Burden Of Proof”“Weight A Minute”“Chug-A -Luggage”“Absent-Mindedness Makes Her Muscles Grow Stronger”“There Are No Small Parts!…Except For This One…”“Senseless And Sensitivity”“Freedom For The Stallion” “Still In New York”“Samsonite And Delilah”or“Loading….Please Wait”

Your super focused sense of hearing will probably pick up the quiet whimper when she falls over and the suitcase breaks her fingers.

You can help Luann, Quill, by taking her to the chiropractor after she finishes putting your luggage in the car trunk.

Why did Quill need so much luggage? For a trip of this length, Imelda Marcos could probably have packed more lightly.

It is Luann we are talking here, not David Finch. But, it would be an interesting twist, of course

Clearly we’re headed for Luanne-Gunther. Quill will gradually offend more and more, and Luanne will feel compelled to rescue Gunther from Tiffany.

Okay, day 3 of this arc and my only question is: what went on (or came off) in Tiffany’s dorm room?

@The Airman – Tiffany’s dorm room. Of course we are all supposed to wonder. Maybe Gunther got a green light but couldn’t respond (one way or another). Tiffany’s not one to assist. Probably Dez would assist – but Tiffany with nothing on under her robe is ever so hard to replace…

Moment of Truth: Does Quill’s vision of NY include Luann? They would have to try very hard to figure how both of them could get a place. I don’t want to see Luann wind up with Gunther. The Tiff & Gunth arc was really inspired.

Wouldn’t Quill have said “Theatre” rather than “Theater” ?

Ah, Quilly! Just like a man: star-struck and helpless but for your sturdy girlfriend!Is this a vision of Things To Come?

Quill doesn’t realize what he’s doing by talking about NYC so much. If he upsets Lu, things might change. I hope not, but i have to wonder if this is leading toward a break up between them, even if only short term?

The left shoulder of Luanns top changed color in the last panel.

What guy would have that much baggage?

I also like your response/picture, it leaves little to the imagination.

It wasn’t Prudence Luann had to worry about.

Q-Ball – "Oh GOLLY, Gee WHIZ!! NEW YORK!! I Feel Super FOCUSED And ALIV….OWWWWAUGGGGGH!!!!!!

Luann – (Faintly Smiling After INTENTIONALLY Dropping a Large Piece of Luggage on Pretty Boy’s Foot. Just to SHUT Him Up….,)

I never did think Quill was The One for Luann. Still don’t.

I Love New York!

“… I’ve read that abbreviation is now out of vogue …”^Well, at least in that regard, I’ve tried to keep “ahead of the curve”… switching up with one or the other… – Poor Lol Creme (of 10cc), though….

“Focus Like A Sailor” (though more towards the excitement as if it were shore leave, and not actually involving any “salty tongue”…)

I don’t know how much longer I can stand this testosterone free zone where everyone has romantic feelings and avoids any possibility of acting on them. You just know that Luann is going to drive Quill straight home and later lament that they never have any time alone.

Well ya try making a living at it. you and 5 million others.

Lu, it’s great you took my advice yesterday and helped him with the bags. But…Qu, she is HELPING you; she’s not the busgirl.

“Do you need help carrying my baggage, Luann?”

See he’s adopting that NY attitude of “me first”…

That was my immediate thought. I’m just waiting for the subject of Prudence to come up.

Gregg- Please don’t let Luann be driving anything as mundane as a Toyota or Honda. This Subie girl would at least like to see an Impreza wagon.

For something that is very heavy, the best thing for your back is to lift with both hands from the bottom of the box or package, and make sure that you lower yourself down to it, don’t bend down and pull up with your lower back. Using your legs is best, and to do that, you can’t just use the handles.

Speaking as someone with years of bad arthritis in my back….

Okay! a new volcano to throw the unwanted into:.Hawaii !.Peru !.New York !.Toss him !! Please. Toss him !!

Greg usually can pull a “twist” out of left field to make even the most mundane starts become interesting. Perhaps, forgotten in the Gunther/Tiffany roar was Frank’s 5K Mud Run. It was fun and could have been explored with a little more length and detail…..it was like Basic Training for a semi-senior citizen trying to recapture the good old days. I can only imagine what it would have done to an old fart, like me.

Living in NYC is very different from visiting.

Wait until he has to make a living there catch as catch can while learning his craft.

Not for a million – not for ten million – not for a hundred million dollars would I live anywhere in New York City.

With Q on cloud 9 (by himself) I see some possible rough road ahead between the two. Q has had a life and career influencing experience and Luann was not part of. it. Q will want to talk about his experiences; Luann will likely be jealous and only care about going to NYC with him.

Texan from Houston (transplanted to CA, too)

Why are y’all slamming Quill for being excited? Wouldn’t you have expected him to be after his first visit? I admit, he should have been more attentive to Luann after being gone, but…geez…I’t the big apple.

“words we should all live by!”^’Hear, hear!!!!

“That’s why it’s called ‘The Present’ "^I agree….one of my favorite expressions!!! (8^D)

…meanwhile, back to Gunth & Tiff!Because we know where these two will go…in life..

“Green for “Go” and red for “Stop”^Yup, true!

SPOILER ALERT

For all who are certain that the next step is into jealousy over Quill’s prudence (or lack thereof), or his career progress, a step in a different career direction…

Scream, PuzzleWhiz? Scream? The last male I saw scream was Nathan Lane in Birdcage. So get off the pot, you’re not the designated authority on interpreting what the artist intended. It is not your place to “explain” anything to anyone in this group.

Watch out Luann, Quill has “Jazz Hands!”
