Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 16, 2020

Knowing Bets, it’s a video of Steph’s party.

As for Gunther, this is totally disappointing.

And I’m a Gunther fan!

Cracked like an egg. ✨

Gunther went all “Charles Schulz” face on us in Panel 1. Another homage to the master.

Secret party gone viral on social media!!!!!!!! Maybe Gunther can rescue Tiffany before Bernice finds out.

In this “Live stream everything” world, there’s no point in trying to keep anything a secret anymore.

Cue “Jaws” theme song.

Well what do you expect from a guy who buttons the top button on his shirt while not wearing a tie.

Bets is selfish and mischievous.

Can Bets warn the secret party goers if the video of the party is live streaming? They can send a message that Bernice is looking for them.

SO my second prediction is about to happen….sort of. Bets finds out there’s a party and…looks like she is interested? In my prediction, Gunther and Bets go to the party and Gunther dislikes the way Tiff acting too interested in Kip so he goes to her and say “Don’t Kip and Stef make a cute couple?” to remind her that they are a couple and stays by her side, neglecting Bets. Bets meets another guy and leaves with him.

Bernice, between two RAs…one former (me) and you….don’t be such a downer. College is not just about studying but also to socialize in form of parties. Let be unless there is trouble such as fighting or obvious illicit going on (I know underage drinking is a problem but do you really want to card them? They are not likely to carry their IDs while in their dorms). Leave the party be. Until you hear otherwise.

Tiffany is probably front and center on this social media vid; Bets will probably run and show it to Bernice, and when B busts the party, everyone will blame Tiffany. (Unless she wised up and left, and went back to studying in her room. Probably no such luck, though…)

Remember that there is a guy past out on the floor. ( It might be Leslie Knox)

So we should change Gunther’s name to “Alexa.” Whenever Gunther is asked something, he HAS to disclose everything he knows – whether it’s the right thing to do or not. I think this is something like Aspergers – however I’m getting vehement disagreement from some posters.

Who is sending the live streaming? Tiffany?

Bernice…RA…Enforcer of Rules. If you go check on the little party, who is going to ensure that the attendees of Study Ball are studying?? If Gunther had an ounce of guile, he could have just resumed his snuggling with Bets. (Win-Win!)

“Oh GOD………,” – Gandhi

I was afraid of this. The “Mass Hysteria” has finally hit Gunther.

Assuming that the MAJOR party Bets is looking at, is the one Tiffany is attending, Bernice will head to the WRONG room. Tiffany’s. The question is whether Bernice will do a room by room search.

If it IS the party at Kip’s, Bets doesn’t have to say a word about it. The question remains. “WHO” is uploading the party to Social Media? One of Bets’ Zillions of Followers? Like one We KNOW of? Tiffany, for instance? And will Bets and Gunny try to warn Tiff?

There a LONG SHOT here. Bernice (And Bets and Gunny) May end up crashing Kip’s party and wind up “going with the flow” and having a good time. It happened before back 2015. And if that happens, Bernice has been effectively “compromised” as an R.A.

Naturally, EVERYBODY will predictably pile on Gunther for this. But I say, this makes up for the all the stuff Tiffany has pulled on him down thru the years.

In any event, don’t PANIC. :)

Panel #1: Has Gunther turned into Don Knotts?

Tiffany lied to and used Gunther. Bernice will find out about the Blacklit party, and there will be consequences. Gunther will be hurt that he was lied to and used. Tiffany will regret that she lied to and used Gunther, and moreover gave in and did not study, but partied on instead. Or maybe not. This will be a test to see if her character has gotten more substantial, or not. Bets will still love Gunther, but of course she has the social media feed. If, or when Bernice sees it, the you know what hit the revolving object. Finally Stefi, Kip and the rest will be busted along with Tiffany. It should be very interesting to say the least. As ZM says, “get the popcorn.”

I see Gunth ‘caved’ right on cue!!

Gunther holds in the truth like a hand grenade holds in the reactive chemicals. The release of either can be …. explosive.

Deputy Fife is on the way to “Nip it in the bud”

Move away from the fan!

Between Gunther folding like a cheap suit (and aiming for the cheap seats with the melodrama), Bets gluing her eyes to a phone in the middle of a conversation, and Bernice’s determination to stamp out any nonapproved fun even at the cost of her current activity, today’s strip is really lacking in sympathetic characters. Can you imagine trying to be friends with any of these people?!?

Bernie wants to be a cop in her next life.

Hey, Bernice, don’t forget your clipboard with The Rules attached, ‘cuz you’ll need to read them the Riot Act!

Gunther is nice guy with a heart of gold, he doesn’t want to lie to anyone as he doesn’t want to be lied to.

Never tell Gunther a secret. Also I don’t know if Bets is dense or sarcastic

I knew it..I knew Tiffany’s whereabouts would be readdressed and the cat would be released from the bag.

With any luck, Tiffany left to go to her room to get something and won’t be anywhere near the party when Bernie arrives.

Looks like it’s being set up for Bets to save the day by seeing Tiff at the party and texting her that Bernice is out and about, which would give Tiff the opportunity to earn Hall A street cred for “handling it”. She could warn the group before Bernice finds the right room.

Gunther is as Gunther does, unfortunately.

Wouldn’t the pounding music from the “little party” just a few doors down be rather audible and readily apparent what was going on?

So much for social distancing.

But the party ISN’T in Tiffany’s room, and that’s where Bernice is heading. There’s a reason that detail was included.

Get ready to see vids of a MAJOR bust!

there are rules about even little parties, of course there are. not in the college, just bern’s dorm.

All means trouble.

No doubt this will get out of hand quickly.

Secret party? IIRC college parties were far too loud to be kept secret, it’s on the same floor!

Now, what follows will be extremely comical and interesting. Will Gunther and Bets understand everything and try to warn Tiffany or will Bernice be unstoppable? I doubt it will end well for Tiffany, but let’s face it, she knew the risks and decided to do it the same.

I knew it. Gunther screwed up and now Bernice is on to the party. Wonder if all the students, including Tiffany, will end up being expelled?

whatever happens is Tiff’s fault. Why did she stop and chat near the study ball on her way to the party?

Quick NO ONE TELL THE R.A. but lets post it all over social media so the RA and see it anyway. that way no one can be blamed for telling anyone else.

I never liked Bernice since the beginning of the strip, how her and Luann ever became friends is beyond me.

To Gunther’s credit, he didn’t break easily. It took days of waterboarding and incessant questionning to make him tell on Tiff.

I hope Gunther never gets a special compartmented security clearance. He would blab everything.

Ahhhh, the Tiffany Train-wreck is happening on schedule. The real question is if this will be limited to her losing friends or will she also be kicked out of school. The sad part is she was showing so much promise. Oh well.

Gunther just threw Tiffany under the bus!

Bernice’s party pooper instinct has kicked in.

The poster girl for OCD to the rescue!

Sorry I’m late, everybody. Was working at the grocery store until closing time and did some of the clean up after closing. Clocked out at 2345 and zonked out until 0030. At least it wasn’t as mayem-like as Saturday and Friday.

Not easy keeping Tiffany’s secret, is it, Gunther?

For the luv of…argh…Gunth, you’re killing us. LOL!

Whoever was dumb enough to livestream the party just became “No.1 stool pigeon” and let Gunther off the hook.

Apparently Bets isn’t the only one in Pittsville with a social media fetish!

In the meantime it appears that Bets will blow the whistle on the party to Bernice OR she will talk “Gun” into blowing Study Ball for the party to have a “ball.”

To those that think R.A. Bernice is right to check out “little” parties I disagree. If a small group gathers in someone’s room and they aren’t disturbing anyone a good R.A. doesn’t go seeking trouble. They don’t do bed checks either.

There is only one way this could go. When Bernice gets to Tiff’s room, she cannot help but hear the party noise in Kip’s room because, as Stefani said, she was moving to Tiff’s room to be near Kip. Once the feces hits the oscillating air mover all bets (no pun) are off!

One unknown is whether Gunther sees Tiff in Bets’ livestream and decides to affect a “rescue.” This may have consequences re Bets, one way or another.

You know, with all of the histrionics and other talking both in and just outside the Study Ball room I wouldn’t be surprised if a few attendees don’t just go to the library to get some peace and quiet to study…

Three men can keep a secret…if two of them are dead.

This sounds like how EVERY OTHER PARTY started on my campus.

I predicted this would happen back on the 14th.

Rup Roh, Tiff’s cool cred is about to take a nosedive. Her social calendar is about to be thoroughly uncluttered.

[sigh]

Much to the chagrin of Mordy (I apologize), I have to say that I am frustrated and aggravated with Gunther’s behavior here. He should know by now that he a) should not blab out anything he knows about anybody else’s business, b) does not need to reveal each and every detail that he knows as well. It is just really not polite.

My worry (which is coming true) is that everyone will trounce all over Bernice! Yes, Bernice can be a little too zealous about some things, but hell…. in regards to being a RA…. if she does not act/investigate to whatever way Moony U specifies, she could lose her position, her dorm room, and perhaps even her education. So, although she is doggedly determined at the moment…. and could calm down a bit…. it is indeed something she needs to investigate in her role here….. for her own security and her future.

Looks like we’re on a collision course with WACKINESS!!!

I have to admit, this made me laugh. I knew Gunther would cave. And with Bets being attached to her phone, surely somebody would send her videos of the party. This can only go downhill from here.

Hearing about “people having fun” is Bernice’s equivalent of seeing the Bat Signal

Bernice needs to get the stick out of her xxx and find a boyfriend or girlfriend; whatever floats her boat. Lol

Gunther’s got a little “Peanuts” thing going on…

Bernice buzzkill should be her nickname

Bets better alert the partygoers!

Regarding Gunther’s inability to keep secrets, there is a little bit of Sheldon Cooper in him…

Isn’t there a cartoon safe somewhere that needs to be dropped on Gunther…without the typical cartoon recovery?

Yeah. They guys who didn’t want the RA to find out need to get a Clue.

Once it’s on Twitter & Snapchat, it’s no longer “on the down low”.

Tiff could find herself thrown out for that if she is materially part of it.

Sick of Bernice

Bets starting to be a real pain.

It won’t even matter that the party went viral. All that matters is that Tiffany was expected to look after the R.A., and she didn’t.

First Tiffany was failing her business courses. Now, she’s failed… everyone else.

Well, this has become ridiculous

Bernice is the worst. She lives for this. She really is Aunt Lydia from The Handmaid’s Tale.

Couldnt Bernice get hit by a bus and written out? Maybe that would leave room for Crystal to come back in the picture.

I don’t like this comic, nor how the way creators constantly make Gunther seem like a snitch or weak.Please respect your characters and don’t make them seem like 12 year olds.You are insulting your readers’ intelligence by actions that are so extreme as to become unrealistic.

Squealer! Snitch! Tattletale!

This is how to lose potential girl friends, Gunther. Your Word is only too worthless….

tomorrow: BUSTED!!!

( or did I say that already? :-/ )

Good Grief!! Gunther cracked like an eggshell under pressure. Just keep his mouth shut. Answering a question he was not asked.
