Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 05, 2012

I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell her she’s too big for carry-on.

For a second I thought she was going to say she wanted him to toss her on the bed.

Way to transition from hysterical to teasing/flirty/perfectly calm and silly after one line of dialogue.

Coming up, Luann: The Australian years.

Why does Greg lead us on like this? He starts something interesting with Luann then changes it.

X rating for the site.

A weak punch line from Quill – after Luann pouring on her considerable charm. Hope there’s another twist – before we go to a new story arc.

I’ve been reading Luann since I was 4, and out of all the guys I have hoped the most for Quill to be the one to make Luann happy. If this arc doesn’t have a twist that keeps him in the picture. Well, Mr. Evans, I am disappointed with you sir.

You talkin’ brain, or overall weight?

Exchange Student, Luann. Exchange Student, ONE of You.

And the NEXT time some good lookin’ stud from a foreign country takes an interest in you, I’ll BET You won’t come up with this: “I DON’T think we should get romantic because You might go back to YOUR Country” NONSENSE again, either!

Further, the comment she can be explosive is also a reminder that she has strength and is not afraid of the future.And we can see she’s already smiling as she tries to find solutions to a less than pleasant situation.-Yeah, I know I’m reading more into it than most children are likely to put in, but as others have pointed out, the author of the story line is not a child.

Cute, Luann, but I don’t think you’d fit in Quill’s suitcase. And even if you were actually stowed in the baggage hold, the airline would probably insist you purchase a ticket anyway.—And now, with that joke well and truly done, what do you two really intend? Will there be any future for Quill and Luann?

“mojitobaby @DavidHuieGreen “How d’you figure that?”-Easy, cells are composed of colloidal materials, just like gels. Luann is composed of cells. (well really ink, but we won’t go there.)

There have to be at least a few people who knew the Aaron Hill clone was not going to stick around forever. There can’t be this many Luann fans who are shocked that Greg’s grudge hasn’t died out yet.

and it’s been my experience even if she were in his luggage, they’d lose it.

Maybe she moves to Australia, and Greg starts a new strip, “Luann Down Under.” It would open up a whole new lineup of characters…

Who did the Quill artwork? All through the Quill stories, he’s looked so odd, like even the art supplies were from a different company.

During the time that they’re sitting there talking (and while they talk the rest of the week), they could be doin’ the deed.

How about: “Mom? Dad? Quill doesn’t want to go back to Australia…can he have Brad’s old room?”

Still time for a quickie!!!

so how loud do you think she screamed – lol it is a comic, but in your mind it plays real. perky too!

Should I say it’s safe to assume that tomorrow and Saturday will continue with sterile sexual innuendo? I think it is.

By the way, shredmonkey, I enjoyed your video. Left a comment.

Greg must sabotage every single relationship he creates because he has no idea what the hell to do once the relationship starts. Maddening! Greg, if you can’t handle writing romantic relationships then DON’T START THEM! It’s not that difficult of a concept and only drives your readers up a frickin’ WALL.

Ahhhh trusty Rule 34

I’ve had to move like that. My dad lost his job on a thursday and my first boyfriend was out of town with his family. We moved on saturday. never saw the boyfriend again. still can’t find him. Sometimes things can go quickly if there is a job waiting on the other side for his dad. My dad moved us across the country and only missed four days of work. Those were spent packing and driving. We arrived at our destination at around six that evening and he was going to work at six that next morning.

Maybe Mr. Evan’s setting the stage with this plot for a reason… it’s too obvious. I think something’s up his sleeve.

OMG! You are so pathetic. If you don’t like the work, stop reading it. It’s like those old “ladies” who watch TV just to complain about it. Boooooring. ZZZZZZZZZ

Keep going Greg. The reactions you get proves that this is not just another comic

So disappointing……

There is a corollary to Murphy’s Law in this.

owhh… very romantic this dad.

I like it!

But, Murphy was an optimist.

I wanted to post this yesterday, but it was 9:00 pm by the time I read the comics. People are talking about repetition but has it occurred to anyone that Greg would consider the audience for Luann to be teenagers and thus be writing to a whole new generation? That would explain repeat story lines, a 16 year old reading this right now may have no clue about what happened in the past (Unless they read the past comics on this or another site of course).

What I’m wondering about is just what IS the big rush to pack? Just what is Quill’s father’s business? Sounds like Quill’s family is more on the lam than moving.

Speaking of the past… I’m reading the past strips right now. I recall some from when I was a teen, but most I’ve forgotten. Aaron was a real jerk! He never really cared for Luann- he got distracted by Tiff even when he had a “real” girlfriend (Claudia) He was just a crush that she needs/needed to get over. Anyway I hope Greg realizes that his audience is much larger then the current crop of teens and does something else with this story. With our current tech. they can easily keep in touch. — Just don’t repeat the other times (Aaron-Luann, Zane-Bernice) where the guy never contacts the girl.

The Lord is testing us..Have faith, brethren.

One of life’s lessons, if you can find the lesson..For those who are whining, just go away.It’s Greg’s strip, his drawings, his writing and his storyline..When you get the readers this upset, you’re doing your job very well. Keep it up, Mr Evans, I’m staying until the curtain closes.

Evans could still toss a curve ball: Unable to get Delta or Bernice on the phone a disparaged Luann seeks comfort in food only to be seduced by low life T.J. at Wennie World.

Geez – this is making me crazy. I have to comment. If two people really had a passion for each other, it would be overwhelming, and not be room temperature for so long. You just know when you are attracted to someone. She really wants someone to love her, someone who has some coolness factor, just like most everyone else does. He’s just not that into her. Its either there or its not. He should have been all over her long time ago. She needs to concentrate on school now and not waste her time on someone who doesn’t think she rocks his world.

If there’s a happy solution to save their romance, it won’t be Luann going to Oz. That would require a whole new set of characters. But aren’t they about to graduate hs? how about Quill attending college in the US? For instance, the same one as Luann.

YOur a sick person don’t go that site it is porno and think this pervert reads this comics bet he is out by schools watching little girls sicko you are.

16 is way to young to have a serious relationship. it’s sad that it had to end but better that they had that one kiss and move on. this is a comic strip. Luann will meet new guys. It’s a COMIC STRIP!

Aww they are so cute together!

serious relationship as in permanent, that is. Greg must have better/new things in mind for Luann.

Quill came as a senior.

Always time for a goodbye quickie.

I like Quill and I really like the way he treats Luann. But we all knew their relationship was temporary……sort of like a “summer romance” during the school year. Remember summer romances? You meet someone while you or they are on vacation, fall for the “difference” more than the person, then leave them behind….sad, but all part of growing up.

yippie quickie?

They seem more mature than most kids their age…

“But in that case Luann would not be involved and we would not be talking about sneaking her on board a plane.”.Another good point, you must be sober at the moment. .While you’re still with us, it reminded me of watching movies with my chilluns. They would watch some idiotic thing and ask, “Why didn’t they just….?”.They got used to me responding, “Because then this movie would be ten minutes long.”

Luann by Stephan Pastis.

(From this Pastis interview.)

Saved by the bell.

Now would be a great time for Luann to lose her virginity. What a goodbye gift. She ends up pregnant and Luann and Quill get reunited on the Maury Povich show.

I’m a firm believer that it’s the cartoonist’s universe and he can run it any way he chooses, but this is so very disappointing!

And we find out that he really doesn’t have a Dad. Or Luann gets to visit and finds out how he is with the sheelas there…

The last frame drawing and Luann’s comment confirm that Luann is not a little girl anymore. Very sexy. Would ike the “Bird’s Eye” option to see from different angles.

I don’t know why so of my comments don,t go through. I commented to JK that I don’t think TJ would sink that low. After all, they know him and would put that TJ grin up his….. you know where

Luann stinks! sending Quill back home with blue balls.

really – relieved?? i think not sir (or madam). last week he was treated to some nice application of sun tan lotion, and now this week’s activity. If his heart is pumping, then he is not “relieved.”

Greg is a distant relative of Murphy… (Murphy’s Law)

if that’s the case Hank, then we would see Luann on “16 and Pregnant”

“…I’ve seen you around Tiffany…” so don’t put her in Tiffany’s bag. :)

time for teen pregnancy?

DUMB!

This was a Pastis strip (date unknown) which I am posting here because of the greater audience. It is off topic for Luann, but deserves to be passed along. Warning: It might make you cry..http://cartoonician.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pb031228-bus1lores.jpg

I have no point other than I feel somehow enriched for having read that and I thought others may appreciate and share that experience.

In the first place, what are you smoking??? Change dealers..Secondly. you only get “transferred” if you request a transfer – no municipality can make you move out of the area, or out of state, if you don’t want to..Thirdly – why? Since they’re not the central character it’s much easier to keep Brad and Toni’s relationship in a holding pattern than it is to constantly keep Luann behind the 8-ball of romance while still holding out the hope that she might get some. .All B & T have to do is try to get time alone and be constantly interrupted by Shannon, while Toni continues to be gunshy about commitment while still wanting “benefits” from Brad. A little conflict with Nancy, or from brother Jonah, and there’s a new arc.

A few months ago, it seemed that Evans was ready to move forward by presenting some new developments for his characters, specifically involving the status of Brad & Toni’s relationship, as well as the romance between Quill & Luann. Instead, he has just been toying with his readers by going around in circles. We can only hope he gets out of this rut and begins creating some more substantial storylines…

Greg, this was just mean! All this adgida over the months with their tension filled liking for each other and it’s over. Mean, mean, mean!

If she were a sophomore she would not be discussing colleges yet. And she has been sixteen for at least a year even in her (frozen) time.

Paging Gunther. Gunther to a red courtesy telephone, please.

It would be convenient for a wandering spouse married to you, Leviticus, because you would insist on catching her “in flagrante delicto” before you would even get jealous.

Maybe that is because you were hardly ever allowed to see him.

A real world conclusion: Quail has given up on Luann because he has to go back to Australia. Tiffany sees Quill looking sad – walking home – whisks him off somewhere – and Tiffany becomes his “first.” All in a couple of hours. Then Quill flies away with even more regret that he didn’t get there with Luann.

I like this.

" I get high, not drunk."-But the opposite of high is low and you never struck me as low, mellow perhaps, but not low by itself.

the first panel…not a very flattering picture of her.

whereas sober can be an unbefuddled mind
