Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 04, 2015

Hopefully, Bern is only referring to the fact that they don’t allow “glutens” on campus… – But sad to say, it probably isn’t that, at all……

RAs sure are party poppers, aren’t they? (According to the residents themselves.)

Mmmmm…brownies!

In most dorms, the RA gets a private room. Why does she still live in a double?

Look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Luann Mask!!!!

Greg Evans’ vision of modern-day college life is that the students have posters of the Beatles, Alfred E. Newman, and Ziggy (!!!), but they eat Alice B. Toklas brownies? OK, these brownies are likely pure chocolate chip, because this is Luann. The naughtiest thing that college students do in Pitt is burn candles and nail things to their walls.

These are ‘special’ Homemade Organic Brownies… Have one, or two or whatever… Nature’s own ‘good for what ails you’ comfort food or is it the ‘forget the what ails you’ comfort food… Uh, I’ve got the munchies food… thanks I’ll have another…

Banned brownies, huh? Next week’s strips ought to be interesting.

How green was my brownie?

Is that really incense that she’s burning? Breathe deep, Bernice, and hold it before you exhale.

If you’re not allowed to nail things on the wall per yesterday’s strip, what is Bernice going to about Dez nailing the Luann mask to their wall?

@Argy And Professor: I left replies at the bottom of yesterday’s…

Well, brownies like that are ONE way to mellow out…

“…and stop calling me, “Gertrude”

Optimistically, the ingredients could be just substances that, in themselves are just not looked favorably upon by the school, for consumption in the manner that Dez has them, and nothing severe…in that case:-“Mary, Mary…Quite Contraband”“Dung Tea And Truffle Cakes”“A Favorite With The Baseball Team”“Performance Enhancing Snacks”“Exotic Tack, Tow The Line”“Perfectly Paired With An Energy Drink”“Mrs. Left Field’s”or “Made With Love…And FD&C Yellow #2 1/2”

But if it’s supposed to be something more serious, then Bernice sure does have her work cut out for her: – “Thelma And Louise Go To College”

“Too Many Points In Those Brownies”“High Grades”“Chiffon And Laced”

“Duncan Hines Huhhh?”“How The Other Amos Got Famous”“Betty Crockett And Tubbs”or“Sara Illegal”

Ha ha ha!!!!!

Bernice really needs to loosen up. Rules are more like guidelines. Let your hair down. Oops, I meant live a little.

“Dez, I’m the RA.”“The RA?”“Yes, the RA.”“The RA???”“Yes, the RA!”“The RA? The RA?”Yes, I AM THE RA!!!"“The RA’s not here.”

And considering that Bernice had that run in with her then boyfriend Derek the junkie so long ago (during her Jr. High School days), I’m sure it’s “once bitten, twice shy” for her…

once again i will bring the chips….and i will be a hit and not a dip…

Seems as though everybody but you knows that there’s going to be a party, Bernice! Chill, have a nice (?) brownie, and accept it! Being an RA does not make you omnipotent….

What happened to the new “Bernice”, who finally chilled out at graduation, determined to life a looser life? BACKSLIDING, Bernice, Be careful!

To start with, all students in the dorm are required to know the policies before they arrive – all available online. Then there are mandatory floor meetings in which all the rules are laid out again – before anyone spends a single night. Oh, and RAs get about a week’s training before the residents arrive. Dorms are far more restrictive today than they were back in the early 80s when you could smell the pot smoke down every hall. Now they can’t have candles, loud music, cooking implements, nails in the wall or even extension cords (though surge protectors are okay). And nobody gets in without a school ID.

Pot brownies?

Subtle…

Eat a brownie, get the munchies then eat a brownie to fix the munchies which causes increased munchies…eureka, at last a perpetual motion machine which works!

Crude oil is organic. So is viper venom. Not all organic is good for you.

Okay. SO Nobody, But NOBODY Ever Listens to Bern.EVER.

We GOT It.

NOW, Can We PLEASE Get Back to Tales of Gunther Ignoring the Advances of Attractive Young Women, and His Hilarious Misguided But Well Meaning Attempts to DESTROY His Mother’s “Love Life.” Pleeeeeeease???

Once, at work, a guy gave me a “cookie”.It was a really interesting evening. My boss ate two, but he was going home.

Those brownies may be the best way to get the freshmen to relax in their new home, Bern. Tee hee.

Have two or three, Bern.

Many years ago, I frequented a little cafe run by squatters (the whole area was squats) and well recall the “Alice B. Toklas Brownies” entry on the menu…

Just eat your brownie, Bern, and wash it down with a nice Scotch. Chill.

Careful with that brownie Bernice…. You might turn into a zombie…LOL!

Handbooks are to students as directions are to computer hackers…

-The handbooks were, like, part of the oppressive establishment, man…

Do kids today still talk like that? Do they know what ‘the establishment’ means? I kinda doubt it…

Well, looks like everyones concerns about Luanns mask and Dez’s incense were addressed.

Wow. One bite and Bernice’s hair flattened out.

But an RA is much more than a controller or enforcer. RAs are supposed to be there to provide guidance to freshmen who might be overwhelmed by all the new responsibilities of being on their own for the first time, or confused by having to pick their own classes, and so on. It’s about having someone like a friendly older sister or brother that you can go to, not just about someone who acts as a police officer…

Thanks for that info, didn’t know there was a way to detect trolls. (Also still don’t understand how someone can post under someone else’s name…)

Good luck, Bernice.

“Rules by Greg” on the book, nice touch.

one odd thing , , , , .So many here seem to imagine that every US University is the same as whatever one they went to..Thus they blame Gregg for being “unreal” if anything varies at Mooney U..In reality, there is NO standard — policies and terminologies vary widely. .THAT is the reality.

Dez is good for Bern, hopefully over time she will get her to relax, smooth over the sharp edges. Bern has priorites and enforcing the unenforceable is not worth the effort. I love that Luann’s mask is on the wall. Ha Ha.. she can’t take that one down!

she only bit a corner off, pretty smart, though I’d consider it VERY rude to hand over a confection without explaining what’s in it first. Not just because it contains pot (seriously, what if she had a drug test the next day?) but even if it contained something like nuts that’s something you should tell the person you’re offering them to.

I just noticed that the only mask on the wall that looks happy (or at least has a smiling face) is Luann’s. The other ones look terrified. Maybe scared of Bernices’s rules?

I was an undergrad at Pen State U 1971-75. Most of the RA’s were older “kids”, lots Vietnam Vets in on the GI plan. They were usually always stoned or drunk…

Dez creeps me out. This whole dorm scene is alien to me because at their age, I lived in a number of military barracks and the college kids pretty much hated us.

Who ya’ gonna’ call when the adivser needs an adviser?

Glad to see Lu’s art on the wall.

In a world where Gunther gets drunk out of his mind on half a beer, what would eating a hashish-laden brownie do to Bernice? What I’m saying is that these brownies have to be Betty Crocker-style plain chocolate munchies. This is the Luannverse, people.

Maybe they’re just REGULAR brownies. We weren’t allowed to have cooking devices in our dorms.

In the Luannverse, it is about as likely that Dez serves brownies made with hashish as it is that Frank will turn his warehouse into an opium den. Pitt is as wholesome a place as Disneyland, folks.

Actually, even regular brownies could be a problem if she made them in the dorm room. Most dorms have a no cooking rule because they don’t have built in stoves or ovens and portable ones are considered a fire hazard (same thing for burning candles and inscense).

Many dorms have kitchenettes on every floor, with a fridge and a microwave. Moony may be a school that has full-scale kitchens. (Tiffany has an actual suite, doesn’t she?)

Except that both are equally unlikely to find a place in the Luannverse. Might as well search downtown Pitt for a pink unicorn.

us ordinary folk just called it ‘hash’.

Bern has her very first pot brownie,,,muchies will follow in the room

NG, many times the “predator list” is full of assumptions, the way they are listed…………………… to general public, they would see in exact same way the guy that went to the park and took advantage of the 8 years old girl and the 18 years old guy who had consensual sex with his 16 years old GF in a state with a hardline age of consent of 18. (while in the next state 40 miles away, a 30 years old guy can do it with a 16 years old legally, as long as she is not a hooker, and what they did was never photographed or filmed) the list many times do not put the exact crimes they did

On Comics Kingdom, you can post under any name you like, so long as you do so as “guest” rather than linking to a Disqus account. All you need is a valid E-mail address. (I don’t have, or want, a Disqus account, so I always go the “guest” route when I post there as “seismic-2”. If you are a “guest” you don’t get to use an Avatar or keep a record of your posts, but so what.)

I doubt that Dez’s brownies actually contain marijuana. But since Bernice is finding rule violations everywhere, that might explain why she suspects that they do.
