Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 09, 2021

Happy Mother’s Day Everyone!!

way to think things through, Luann

I do it too.

Happy Mother’s Day and one day, Luann be a mother.

Oh, Nancy has it right!

Just once I wanted to break the top 10 posts on Luanne and I did it. What’s your goal? Hope its better than mine.

That’s why having three kids was perfect for me: 1 got the mixing bowl, 2 got the beaters, and 3 got the spoon.

You know, Luann?

Maybe if you and Brad had minded your Mom a little more, maybe her job wouldn’t have been so hard.

Just saying.

Happy Mother’s Day, Moms. ;)

Luann stop being so selfish. Happy mothers day to all the mothers.

Nancy is right. Once a mom, always a mom. It is okay for the career to come second. Some of us would be nothing without our kids, just existing but not really living.

Luann is sounding like a 15 year old here. G & K – Time for Lu to be 20.

My mom often licked the spoon and put it back in the bowl. She always denied it until the night we found lipstick swirls in the creamed peas!

Nice thought…thank you…

Ugh usually I like Luann but this comic is so trite. “I could have changed the world and done amazing things but then I would have missed out on all the meaning that comes with watching you lick this spoon.” Gag.

While I appreciate the nod to stay at home moms, the fact that this strip wouldn’t make any sense if it were rephrased for Father’s Day is sadly telling. Dads have been and are expected to be all of those things. I have to think there are also Moms who are CEOS and astronauts, and most if not all of the female candidates for president were and are mothers.

If my Mom had decided not to become a Mom, I would not have been born 64 years ago today. May 9, 1957 – Miss ya, Mom…

Nancy is a Saint and Luann is lucky after Tara’s Incident.

I think this a lovely, appropriate song for today, and it brings tears to my eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJAKmWAIKcY.

Happy Mother’s bDay in Luannverse and everywhere else

Mom passed away this year, at age 98. I updated the last verse to this song I wrote decades ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNfBZU_Qp1I

Happy Mothers day and thank you for all you do to all the mothers out there!

Too late, Nancy—she already did.

I’ve seen a couple of “made for TV” movies where a “high strung,” single, male CEO is transplanted into a role as a struggling, father of three, operating a small business and initially finds it difficult to accept his role as the father and husband in the family. It’s an interesting movie.Surprised a similar type movie was never made for a “high maintenance,” single, female, CEO into a role of (struggling to make a decision), mother of three, maintaining a small household with a loving husband who isn’t always around.

I love these moments between Luann and Nancy ♡. Cooking together can be such a beautiful sign of affinity, affection and love ♡. Happy Mother’s Day Everyone♡♡♡!

Happy Mother’s Day Ladies.

And a Mother to the very end, still giving instructions to the children, keeping them in line.

Happy Mother’s Day from Luann and all of her friends.

7,874,965,825 and still growing. We should celebrate couples who choose NOT to have kids.

Backward? You mean “If you hadn’t spent half your life being an astronaut (etc), you couldn’t have been a mom”?

I miss those days with my daughter, who is now a mom and has a little girl of her own. My daughter has a busy career and a working husband, so during covid we just can’t spend much time together. But we will today! All adults are vaccinated and one happy little girl is part of our pods.

Beautiful Mother’s Day panels, Happy Mother’s Day to all.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Isn’t 20 the new 15… ? LOL!!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone.

“I didn’t until just now. Now I’ve thought about it and….NAH. Rockets then to explode too often.”

Still hard to believe my Mom’s been gone since December of 1992. I still wake up thinking of things to talk to her about…

Well, that batch is ruined.

Luann is perfectly correct.

It never occurred to me, but I’m starting to think that everyone who comments here is a senior. I’m 78 myself. A hundred years ago we’d all be down at the general store lounging around the cracker barrel and Franklin stove, commenting on local characters and how the world was going to hell. Now we have to do it this way. Do we need some young blood? Do any younger folks care about these important things we discuss every day?

Its time for G Evans to mature Luann. She’s supposed to be twenty, but still acts like an adolescent.

I used to ask my Mom the same question. She was a single Mom when it was not the norm! She had Alzheimers the last twelve years of her life. I was her caregiver for ten of them! Our roles reversed; she regressed to childhood and didn’t even know my name! I also worked a full time job before she got too far into the illness! I don’t think that Luann sounds like a teenager. I wish I could still ask my Mom those questions!

Sweet Mother’s Day message from Nancy today. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!!

Luann yes your mom could have done one of things bet instead she got married and had you and Brad. Happy Mothers day to all.

Is this really the first time Nancy has told Luann to not lick a spoon and put it back in the food?? You’d think Luann would have learned that by age 4.

Awwww… Gross…

You’re thinking Thel Keane, Luann. Now SHE has regrets! ;D

Sweet!

she can be any of those AND a mom! Luann is just proving that a mother’s work is never done.

What Luann did with the spoon would only be expected of a small child.

Nancy an astronaut? Luann has a lot to learn.

Today is a father-daughter day of sorts for me. She just finished the final exam for Vector Calculus. Unless she goes on to grad school in her field or an MBA program, she won’t be calling the old man at all hours for math tutoring. I can relate with Nancy today.

It was nice of Home Depot to let Nancy come in a couple of hours late today…

Cleverly pointing out the ironic joy of motherhood on this Mother’s Day.

Although there is a certain attraction to never having birthed Luann and Brad….

Really Luann?!? If Nancy had chose to not be a mom, you wouldn’t be there to make that observation.

Don’t lick the spoon, period. Raw eggs are pretty much Russian roulette.

Some of y’all should just draw your own comic.

When I was 16, I was cooking in the kitchen. I tasted what I was cooking to see if I added enough salt and was putting the spoon into the sink when I felt a hard slap on my backside. It was a relative with a history of mental illness, and she started accusing me of going to put the spoon I just put into my mouth back into the pot without washing it. I was clearly going to put it in the sink because I was already half way there. I yelled at her that I wasn’t four years old and that if she was seeing what was actually going on, she would have seen that I was putting the spoon into the sink. So, yes, I do believe that Luann’s behavior is what would be expected of a four year old. I have never done that ever per my recollection of my entire life, and I wouldn’t eat the food of one who does.

She can’t run a household. Seriously doubt she could be a CEO or an astronaut. But the bar for President is currently very low.

Sounds like my wife.
