Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 08, 2016

Glad to see Shannon wearing safety glasses.And what is the devious TJ up to now? I hate him. I loathe him. I despise him.

You’re doing a swell job, Shannon, at acupuncture on the wall… I mean hammering in nails into same said wall.

Posted an old Dirty Pair pencil sketch I’d commissioned from Adam Warren.Also, I have my first two artist interviews lined up.So, new poll question – which webcomic artists would you like to see interviewed?

TJ is getting ready to put mirrors on the ceiling.

She’s going to regret giving up her say in the wedding, she just doesn’t realize it yet.

where is the car? I thought it was with Shannon? ;)

TJ has proven to be a great friend. funny how kids get so easily distracted and intent on a different activity when it is offered as a project or way to help out, not just told the have to do something. compassion is something you are neither too young or too old for….always deserved, always a kindness at the right time.

btw? why is the meeting for 4 now, instead of just 2? is he going to take TJ, Shannon and Gunther to it? J/K I know he means 4 PM

I’ll take some Brd. It is always scary when TJ takes on a project, but he has aliways been good at remodeling. And he is doing it for Brad & Toni. Good friend. Shannon’s having fun with him, too.

Between bent nails and lost socks there seems to be a foot theme going on.

I love the last panel, especially Shannon’s line! hahahaha

I am thinking that the glass is not a window, but a mirror as you can clearly see the reflection of TJ’s gloved hands in them.

Enough with the pedantics already!

FORGET THE CAR OR GO TO ROD HEAD MAG.

When a remodeler says “Don’t worry, you’ll love it” – worry.

So sweet.Every little girl needs a big hammer and a wall to break down..

I like TJ. He has enthusiasm, is always upbeat, loves his friends, and is good with kids. His trajectory may at times be a bit off, but his quirks keep him from becoming a bore.Oh, and he can cook!All pluses in my book.

How long will it before Shannon is a stripper with daddy issues?

That got mentioned after I’d already run the blog entry. Sorry. I’ll do an edit when I get the chance.

Brad and Toni will wake up some night with Shannon standing over them in bed and holding that 10 pound sledge over her head and screaming “I’m SORRY,my DADDY made me do it”.Dump the kid,and TJ.

Happy pounding, kid…

Let TJ run. He seems to have real talent- a Marty Stewart.

Is it just me? I find that the events of Brad and Toni a lot more interesting than the overgrown teenage, Luann! Greg should either drop Luann, or else spin off Brad and Toni to another strip.

She gets to break things, remember? She gets to kick down doors and punch holes in drywall.

i had a wall on my second house about 40 years ago .It makes a room look bigger ,also had cork on one wall next to a nosie neighbor that helps also .( same house )

Well, guess what? There sure is a lot to be said for being 55, never having been in a relationship, no marriage, no kids, and so on. DUH! But oh, how my “poor” heart “aches” at all that so-called “fun” and “companionship” that I’ve been missing out on all my life! (LOL!)

“Well Shanns Got a HAAAAMER!”“She’ll HAMMER In the Moooooorning!”“She’ll HAMMER In the Eeeeeevening!”“All Over THIS House!”“She’ll HAMMER On Keepsakes!”“She’ll HAMMER On Flaaat Screens!”“She’ll HAMMER On Smiley, Between His Teeth and His Eyeballs,”“Aaaaaaall Over His HEAD!!!”

6Hah! I like TJs effort here! Shannon…. oh, oh! She is going to apparently create more needed repair than remodel with all those nails. :) TJ was adept at getting Shannon focused away from swimming. But, hopefully Toni has the skills to steer Shannon BACK to swimming to save the house….. at least from Shannon. Maybe Toni should try to convince TJ to go swimming too? :)

I’m getting disgusted with a couple of folks. Flag, or block?

Hmmm swimming or demolition? I love this kid. She knows her priorities.

Will it knock his socks off in a good way or a bad way? Answer that one TJ.

What could go wrong here?

Mysterious… Just so long as the remodeling doesn’t involve a propane tank.

TJ is a great babysitter for Shannon.

Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti…

You see the look on Brad’s face when he said “mmmmm” at TJ comment. Looks like Brad is showing some signs of becoming a control freak.

This has been a very long day for Toni, and it is not even 4 pm yet.

TJ is dangerous! He needs constant supervision.Shannon is picking up TJ’s bad habits. Toni needs to whisk her off to the pool at once!

TJ is wonderful in this story. He kept Shannon busy with something fun and safe for her to do.

He’s installing 2 way mirrors.

“He is”. Like us, TJ wonders if Brad has any manhood left or if Toni has taken it all.

I miss that comic. It was a true classic, Hack Kaff!

Shannon: "No, I’m too busy remodeling you ol’ meanie. You were too busy to go swiiming with me, so turn about’s fair play.*Brad: “TJ, Toni and I live here too. We need to see the plans.”

Yeah Toni! Put that bikini on and go to the pool!

I like that Shannon gets so focused when she is put to a task (that interests her), like when she was shown some dance moves for the FUSE Follies event, she couldn’t stop practicing. She was so into it. If she ever starts school in this strip she’ll be a good student.

TJ is a good guy. He always means well, his enthusiasm just gets a bit out of control.

Who cares about TJ? Enlarge the picture and appreciate Toni’s most excellent bootie.

Pinch-hitting in IamJayBluE’s absence, I offer the following “chapter titles”:“Sister Sledge”“With Mallets Aforethought”“It’s Hammer Time!”“Little She-Hulk Smash!”“Smash Beats Splash”“By The Pound”“A Remodel Citizen”“It’s Done With Mirrors”“The Man With The Wedding Plan”

Mikey, are there some local charities or services you care about? If so, many charities need people who can look things up online, prepare educational materials, and do a number of other chores which can be done from the home, sometimes w occasional meetings.You have the abilities to express yourself well and to look things up.Also, you consider yourself be shy but you converse just like anyone else when you do so online, and even handle disagreements w others in constructive ways when those just shut down many shy people.I have had some times in life when health reasons stuck me indoors, such as bad asthma seasons, or for a while a health problem which required major surgery which was postponed as long as possible, but during those times i was able to put together educational materials to help reduce emergencies (police, fire, etc.), and provide people with needed ferret veterinary information. Have you tried pretending to yourself to be someone different in a social setting to let yourself open up? I do not mean lying, just pretending to be someone a bit less shy?
