I thought Greg would hold out to 2025 and end on the 40th anniversary of the strip but it looks like he’s bailing early. If Luann marries Gunther it will be like For Better or For Worse the end of the story. It was nice chatting with you while it lasted.
A great end to this sequence. But as to what it protends is still antbody’s guess. Does it end here or do we continue to the Doll-O-ween Party? And if it does, does Bets make a surprise appearance. Also remember, Bets was very cautious about Luann at her first date at Taco Town. https://www.gocomics.Com/luann/2019/04/12
I think the kiss on the cheek is kind of assignment to the friend zone for life. Very good friends, but their arcs will likely continue in separate ways, but, what do I know? I just enjoy reading Luann.
All this reminiscing and neither brought up the time LuAnn tried to find out intimate details about Gunther & Bets relationship, or how Luann tried to sabotage Gun & Bets first date? Actions speak louder than words or a kiss on the cheek Gunther.
Luann is not stopped by the fact that Bernice (and Tiffany) are watching/studying her from doing what she thinks is right. I love her courage. Gunther is her most precious friend, it’s nice that she remembers that. I wonder when Tiffany’s costume party will be, let’s hope there will be many guests and that a lot of unpredictable things will happen. Can’t wait to see everybody in a doll costume.
It was nice chatting with folks like Beb01. Hope I can find a new home here to continue conversations. I liked ‘Luann’. So sorry she won’t get to have a career…
Just in case people think it is me only seeing this:

And we thought Tiffany was the boyfriend stealer! HA! Luann’s got the champion belt on that one! She is sending a signal that would be hard to miss – even for Gunther. Next week, probably on Saturday, we will see Ruby entering the city limits.
Don’t jump to conclusions about anything I see a huge plot misdirection coming, and its not the end. For one Toni hasnt had her baby, and I don’t think the Degroots, font of sensibility here, are going anywhere without a grandchild. So wait, as always say.
Penny: Leonard, why do you always do this? Listen to me, you’re the one I’m with. You know I love you, so will you please relax because you’re driving me crazy.
Leonard: You know that’s the first time you ever said that you love me.
Penny: Yeah.
Leonard: We’re just supposed to pretend it’s not a big deal?
Penny: That’s exactly what we’re gonna do because you’re about to make me cry, and we both know if I start crying, you’re gonna start crying.
This is just a friendly kiss, No romance, no end of strip. Next week we will be onto another story and most of us will die from old age before this strip ends.
Thanks, panel #2, for reminding us how repulsive Gunther used to look. Even though Luann was mean to him back in the day, I’m beginning to get why she reached for the “anti-cling” spray.
Brad had gone through similar physical evolution. From spud-head to the handsome guy he is today.
Please No. Not Luann with Gunther. That would be so anti-climatic and boring. It hasn’t happened yet and just thinking about it is really really boring. Can’t they introduce a nice guy for her who has good hair, no buck teeth and no mommy issues???
Still there’s this dolloween party of Tiff’s. Part of me me thinks she just invented it at the moment for Gun and Luann or like the pool party it doesn’t exist or it’s not going to happen.
i dont think g&k would do a crappy thing like for better or worse did. theres still more stories to tell , i dont want to see luann and gunther hookup though, they are too good of friends to go that route. should just let gunther play the field and maybe have bets eventually show up with maybe a new guy?
I just realized: the retrospective, the continuity cavalcade. They’re writing Gunther out! He’s going to join Knute in limbo.Are we due for the next time-skip?
Actually, LuAnn has kissed Gunther 5 times & he’s kissed her 3. I found this site after reading some of these online elsewhere & went back to the beginning (first time was 9/14/1990)

Well, now it’s looking more and more like they’re going to get together…
It’s possible they may have a twist where Bets walks in and sees them together.
Some people have suggested that they’re wrapping up the strip with this, but I don’t think so. There’s still more Luann stories to tell.
.
So, new arc on Monday? This seems like a pretty good place to pause this one.

Mordock999 Premium Member 7 months ago
Hang on a second.
There were at least two more times that they kissed:
The first time was when Gunther helped Lu with her studies.
Then, there was the time Gunther helped boost Luann’s confidence when reading to little kiddies.
Today’s friendly peck on the cheek, should be about Gunther’s kiss number FIVE with Lu.
No biggie.
And for the record, besides Bets, Gunther has also been kissed by Delta and Tiffany.
And Gun once laid a show stopper of a kiss on Bernice, who is probably now staring at his table in utter disbelief. ;-)
