Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 21, 2021

OMG!! Over a MILLION fans??

Too many conversations here; one at a time s’il vous plaît.

No wonder the $300 wasn’t a big deal to Bets. LOL

Well, Tiffany zeroes in on what’s most important…. for her.

Selfeeeeeee overload!

Well, Tiff – all that planning, all that scheming. All for naught. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

.

I’m OK now…

Tiff’s expression over the breakup is shock… not scheming! Is she feeling sorry for Stef … or worried that her plans for a solo room have come crashing down. It’s possibly the former, given her desire to see couples being happy.

Stef’s makeup tutorials rock? Her eyelashes remind me of Tammy Bakker.

Lots of dissatisfaction to go around.

I am reminded that fans are the top priority for Betts. Sorry, Gunther.

Stef – “I’m sorry I don’t have the time to know you. After all, “I” have 843 adoring fans.”

Bets – “That’s okay. I know you. Your make-up tips come in handy for cosplay when I need to look like I’ve been in a in a major car accident. And with Halloween right around the corner, I bet you’ll gain a coupla new fans, seeking to be the best dressed ghoul in Pitts. By the way. Did I mention that “I” have a million fans?”

Stef – “A mil………,”

Bets – “Yep! I also have a boyfriend, so stay the heck away from him when he drops by. Say! May Tiff can help you with your little boyfriend problem!”

Tiffany (Muttering under her breath) – (Shut up Bets! Shut-up, Shut-up, SHUT-UP!!!!). ;-)

Check mates all around!! Good on Evans’ For modernizing this conversation. I would still love to see their modern interpretation of Luann talking into her microphone and Cassette tape recorder. Or going through those old tapes, And cringing at her former self.

It’s really generous of Bets not to embarass steff. It looks like her Reflex was to support her, Which is a very cool Character trait. It’s Similar to letting a no name graphic designer Have credit on a pixar movie. Her earning potential just went up. I can see why her and Des identified so closely when they were younger. Keep the simple acts of kindness coming! So refreshing.

And finally, I guess humbling Steff really wasn’t Tiffany’s primary goal. Because she just missed a huge opportunity to feel smug seeing Steph getting egg on her face. If she doesn’t want to beat her, maybe she wants to be like her? Or maybe she really Did just want a private room experience?

Bet’s you have over 1 Mil and about 99.9% you don’t even know. Tiff is in shock over Stef & Kip breakup.

(1) Belated reply to kip and I broke up! (2) The average YouTuber with 1 million subscribers typically makes roughly $60,000 a year (3) “the big fish in the small pond” storyline.

And people hate Bets so much, lots because of her apparent “influencer” status. Over a million followers to Steffi’s paltry 843. That selfie will definitely “pump” up Steff’s followers, which can have a beneficial effect in the wallet. Poor Tiffany can’t keep up with the Kip break-up and all. This is very interesting.

Amazing! Bets carry a Tablet with her.

A million followers!? Bets must be rolling in that Influencer dough. Why is she still in college, it’s not it has anything to teacher at this point. And does Gunther, who obviously goosed her followers from a couple hndred to a cool mil, get any of that Internet moola!?

So did Kip break up with her cuz she dragged him into her Snapgram the same way Bets does with Gunther?

How will all those egos fit in the same apartment and how will Dez bring them back to earth?

If Bets lost the Internet, they’d have to lock her in a rubber room.

Dez is way too nice to participate in this conversation.

Times like these I’m glad I’m just a stupid guy. None of this woulda mattered, just if me or the roomie can cook.

Welcome to the Internet Ice Age. You can have a million fans and not a thousand dollars.

See frame 2. If Stef & TJ get together, I’m buying toothpaste stock.

I have over 300 billion followers on InstaFaceGram and… oh wait it doesn’t exist!!

Never mind!

Careful Stephanie, keep up that smile too much longer your face might crack.

Yes Stef, explain what happened!!! Also, I kinda see a little bit of the beginning of Stef’s sense of rivalry towards Bets. She seems to be friends with everyone, she “robbed” her of her roommate and has ten times and more followers on Snapgram than she does. I hope Stef won’t try to destroy her, because if she really is a worse version of Tiffany, she will start by trying to get Gunther from her! But it really would be a great way to see Tiffany make a stand to defend her friends.

Oh yeah – that is what matters. And don’t ask first before you snap a pic.

By now Tiffany must be wondering why she ever left the warm confines of Casa Feral, She’s sharing a quad with a media influencer, a up and coming influencer, and Earth Mother and expert gardner. What does she have to show for her life — nothing.

Only fans that matter are on Onlyfans ;)

A new match made in multi-media. Bets and Stefani are going to spend even more time in Tiffany’s room than she originally anticipated. Tiff could get caught up in the cosmetic comraderie here.

Looks like it’s disappointment city all round today.

It’s three little peas in a pod…. Plus Tiffany…

At least they called them fans. I know people who claim to have hundreds of friends on Facebook.

Trio plus Tiffany. Tiffany is a lucky student with a job waiting on tables.

First world problems.

Big deal, Bets. Even I have a mil…ligram of common sense every once in a while (or so the wife says)! :D

Is there a shallow contest coming on? Never understood why some people think the world cares what their hamburger looks like, but more perplexed by those who have no lives and need to sign up to look at the hamburgers other people are eating. Get lives, people.

Only a million fans? Ew poor!

Makeup tutorial: The perfect mascara for your dots.

Snapgram? Look, I realize that fake-sounding brand names is a staple of fiction, but “Snapgram” makes it hard to tell whether it’s meant to be a copy of Snapchat or of Instagram. That’s rule #1 of fictional brands: You copy one real brand. You can have Papsi cola, or Cooka-cola, but you can’t have Cooka-Papsi.

I see trouble a’brewin’.

So much to love in this one.

Female one-upmanship (one-uppersonship?)! BAH!

“Men socialize by insulting one another, but they don’t really mean it. Women socialize by complimenting one another… But they don’t really mean it, either.” — Anon

It appears that Tiff is keepinr her eyes on the prize. However I don’t think this will be a smooth event.

Kip is lucky!

I really enjoyed the range of expressions on the characters in today’s strip.

Well Stefi was real proud of herself there….for about a nanosecond! Kudos to Bets for her friendly response to Stefi’s lack of followers. Honestly though, after they all hold hands and sing “Kumbaya” (or in Bets and Dez’s case it might be “Don’t Fence Me In”) maybe we can see some drama develop? Like, maybe Ann Eiffel could be pursuing a college education and is now their RA. Or Piro could be the building maintenance man, or Dez could disapprove of how entrenched Bets is in ciber-marketing, or Stef and Tiff could have a major falling out over which eyeshadow colors to wear at night. Let the games begin!

the plot thickens

Here’s what else rocks, Tiffany’s world!

Kind of surprised Tiffany doesn’t have at least a spark of interest in Kip.

What an opportunity! Three in a row! We all need to vote on who’s the most annoying.

Stef’s face dropping? Priceless.

A mil…….??? LMAO……!!! You go Bets……

It is good to see someone upstage snooty Stef. And Tiffany is not happy that Kip is single. What she really wanted was the private room, not the guy.

Oh, dear…..

Hard to read Tiffany’s reaction to the breakup. Is she disappointed that her plan to stalk Stef and Kip to get him interested in her is foiled or is she upset she gave up the mansion when she didn’t need to?

I know it’s not the point of today’s strip but as usual Stef looks like something created by the Mooney Robotics Dept. rather than an actual (cartoon) woman.

It’s finally sinking in for our heroine, Tiffany. Goodbye private room. Goodbye Kip!!!!!!

I wish to go on public record that I am NOT one of the 843.

Most aggravating thing in the world is walking behind somebody who is slowly andtotally absorbed in their cell phone.

Over a million fans, woop-pee-zipp. Do you have any real friends who will be there when you need them?

“Mil” can be short for “million” or an abbreviation for “thousand”.

Stefani looks like she was poleaxed in Panel 3.

Oh no, this comic is being taken over by “influencers”

yecch

It’s clear to see, at least clear to me,

Gunther is her biggest draw, although some might say NAW

Lord, Stef is vile. She is another Ann Awful waiting to wreak havoc.

The comic timing on this one was laff-out-loud funny! Well played, Greg!

Look on the bright side, Tiff. This opens the door for you and Kip. Of course, you’ll have to move in with Kip because life with your new roommate will be hell.

Oh my. I wish somebody would take that phone away from Bets. Surgically remove it from her hand if they have to…

Wow! Today is loaded with shockers, and that selfie photo will not get her any customers!A while back someone asked if Stef was on social media. Looks like Tiffany’s private room may turn into a community Snapgram space. Wonder if Kip found greener pastures or if Tiffany will even pursue him.

…and the saga of Tiffany continues…

Wonder if they’re over a million only fans.

I still have no idea why an older college student would ever voluntarily want to share a bedroom when they have the option not to.

Tiff gonna be stuck with bimbo Staph full time!

So much hate for a smart young female entrepreneur

4 million…I’d be lucky to get 4.

Three hot, narcissistic girls, three agendas, three monologues.

Bets (Does she have a last name? I don’t recall one.); Stefani Bird; Tiffany “Sheraton St. Louis” Farrell. This is unlikely to be a pleasant ride for us….

In the first panel Tiff looks like she is constipated.

This ought to be good…love Tiff’s focus. Lol
