Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 05, 2022

Bets is all about the Money! But yea, that is one way to make it fair. Have Stef pay the other girls for all the extra time she is spending in the Privacy Hut.

.

They could also just add a few more Privacy Hut’s and put a sign on the door that says Moonie Brothel, and make some really big $$$. Bets would approve! LOL

I’m with Dez’s idea… will Bets’s idea even work?

FIRST!!

Yeah, sorry, I’ve got nothing else to comment on about this.

Nice strip today.

Leave it to the business maven to come up with an idea. How much money do you suppose the two have between them?

did she say “hooking” or “booking” fee?

Wait! They should all pay the booking fee! And who do you suppose will be the booking agent?

And what will these booking fees be used for? I think maybe several sets of new linens and towels and the rest goes to laundry fees.

Just let Stef live in the little hut.

I see greg has booked some time! You go, guy!

Again, they completely ignore the fact that Tiff suffers from the privacy hut.

I’m not surprised that Bets thinks money is the solution.

Is it my imagination, or is the privacy hut getting bigger every time we see it?

Dez ides can work but not at Tiff expense.

The logical solutions would be to report Stef to the Dean of Students since no university wants to be known as the place where children lose their virginity. Report Kip to the Coach because he’s clearly wasting a lot of energy he could be using on the playing field. Move back into her mansion for sleeping and socialize at the student center the rest of the time.

The Funny solution, because Greg is all for the Funny (even if he has gone four days now without being funny once…. is for Tiffany to start pranking Stef and Kip in the Privacy hut. Shaving cream in the mattress. Whoopie cushions. water balloons. Setting off a siren with flashing red lights whenever one of them comes. Make Stef regret dragging Kip into their dorm. Now that would be just desserts and — funny!

Bets – It’s not ALL about money!

I know this is a cartoon, but women I know would have solved this problem long ago!

I don’t know what’s so hard about this. Instead of a sign up sheet just divide them time equally between the four of them. Everyone gets the hut every fourth day. If it’s not in use and it’s not your day – tough, it stays empty. But I guess there’s no drama in that.

I can’t stomach how anyone would want to go into that “used” hut.

Bets’ idea might work. But, as far as we know, Stef may have no problem paying to booking all the time she wants. Also, it seems unfair to me to pay for that because others will be forced to do it too. And who will take the money? Will they go to a common pot to organize parties? The best would be divide the hours of the day by four. in the end, poor Dez sees her Privacy Hut idea as a failure and Bets sees it as a new opportunity to make money. Maybe Tiffany will be the one who comes up with a good idea to resolve the situation?

Booking fee is brilliant. Use economics to do what it does best, regulate the use of a scarce resource that has alternative uses. Perhaps have the fee increase depending on the percentage of the total time you book and the hour booked, like 8 pm on a Saturday night is more valuable than 5 am Monday morning.

It would have been better if the last week would have featured Tiffany taking a hot shower, and playing peek-a-boo for those who wonder if she lost weight.

The 4th choice…move into the Farrell Mansion. Dez and Bets could pay rent to Mr Farrell. Then Stef and Kip could have the whole suite to themselves and walk around naked and copulate at any time, any place. At the Farrell Mansion, the girls would eat fancy dinners made by the house cook, have their rooms maintained by the house staff, their clothes laundered, folded and hung. Their cars serviced by Mr. Farrell’s mechanics. Perhaps even have limo service if they don’t feel like driving. Wonder why they never thought of it – Tiff? Dorm life sucks.

Me first next time!

Booking fee, towel fee, disinfecting fee, disposal fee for certain devices, making a cheap motel cheaper. Do it ladies!

Yes, tear the Privacy Hut down right now and expose the two naked “lovers”!!

Just like Hephaestus trapped his wife Aphrodite and her lover Ares in the fine gossamer net he had spread over their bed (I love Greek mythology.).

Maybe they should change it from the privacy hut to the nut hut and a sign saying “no condoms allowed.” Admit it ladies, you want your boys to finish inside you.

Well the semester is almost over, then they can change roommates

And of course Bets always thinks of money!

Bets may have a good idea here. Charge a fee for the Hut, and the more often you book it for the month, the fee gets higher. First booking, $3.00, second booking, $4.00, and so on. This would discourage monopolizing the Hut, and they could use their imagination on what to use the money for at the end of the month.

What is Tiffany complaining about in the first place? She has no boyfriend, and she’s not into naked yoga. She doesn’t have a dog in this fight.

They should only allow 3x a week for up to two hours per time slot. If more time is needed, they need to find another venue. How about KIP’S room? and yeah, there should be time slots. She can’t hog it all day long. Ridiculous.

Aren’t they technically already in her room?

A booking fee is a good idea. You want more time, you spend more money. But what does the money spent get spent on? Could vote, or take turns.

OR the three of you could move out and move into the huge empty mansion owned by Tiffany’s father and let Stef find three other roommates who would put up with this nonsense.

Bets actually came up with a good idea. I’m stunned.

Looks like Greg has the last two weeks booked.

It’s time for an intervention. Time to cure Stef’s unhealthy sex addiction.

Bets is definitely the smart one!

Well, she’s not in there right now is she?

I’ll leave an actual comment: I realize, of course, it’s just a comic strip. But am I the only one who is sickened by the selfish, inconsiderate, egocentric actions of Stef and her secks slave-boy???

Does Bets ever use the hut?

Make a another hut

Assign days and time limits. Use a 1 week calendar. Threaten to take this up with the dean/whoever, if the love birds don’t start acting like adults about sharing the space. You can also be passive aggressive and sit outside the tent actively doing something noisy (TV, Phone calls, friends over for poker night)

Seems like Tiffany upset at Steffhogging all the privacy hut time (Though what she’d used it for is unclear, ) but even more upset at the idea of Stef and Kip using the room she shares with Stef for their Human Sexuality “studies.”

an algorithm that divides ups the slots by 25% over 8 hour shifts (25% each on first shift, 25% each on second and 25% on third) and a rule that slots cannot be taken back to back

You want Stef and Kip to STOP using the privacy hut, and go elsewhere?

Here’s a suggestion: Have Tiffany START making passes at Kip.

That’s what the old Tiffany would have done.

And that’s kinda where this was headed a few years ago when Tiff and Stef shared a room. Then, COVID hit.

Annoy Stef enough, and she’ll be compelled to take Kip someplace else. Hell, she’s going to have to do that anyway when Mooney U closes for the Summer.

And during Summer these three need to start lobbying for a new roommate.

The answer is simple. Sell tickets to their performances and give a standing ovasion after. They will get the hint. And…NO baby shower for Stef.

Bets has a good idea there. They can use the proceeds for a girls night on the town. Stef will be too involved with Kip to go, so it will be a GOOD time for the other three.

Business woman Bets has the right idea.

It must be close to the end of the semester. Can they change rooms or roommates next semester? No one is studying for finals? Looking forward to summer vacation stories. We spent too much time on this arc. Needed more of the A hall gang. Knute and Crystal would take care of this! ;-))

What is a “privacy hut,” a curtain and some string? Set up a second one. Problem solved!

Tiffany has definitely lost weight. She will always be pretty no matter what her size but I’m glad her depression days provoked by Ann seem to be behind her. She may have her frustrations with Stef but she seems to have more control over her life these days.

Bets was paying attention in Economics.

Holy crap. Just tell them to knock it off a few nights!

<<< no university wants to be known as the place where children lose their virginity >>>1. Are there any virgins in college?2. Children? Aren’t they adults — 18 or over? How many children are in college?3. Does ANY college dean care if someone gets devirginated?

Where does Kip live when not in the Privacy Hut?

It’s not uncommon for people to switch roommates in dorms due to incompatablity. Maybe Stef needs to be shown the door (and not just the flap of the privacy hut). Of course, hilarity probably won’t ensue if they do that.

Better yet, all of a sudden, Bernice and Nil are going to walk out of the Privacy Hut to stunned looks from all the gals.

Does anyone really care about Kip and Stef? Time to move on.

Pour cold water on them!

Who really wants to be in it after what Stef and Lip have done in it?

Lol! I meant Kip.

Pretty simple. Each girl gets seven post’em notes a month. The remaining slots are for decontamination teams to clean up.

AHHHHH….SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE AT LAST I’VE FOUUUNNNNDDDDD YOUUUUUU….I KNOW AT LAST THE SECRET OF IT ALLLLLLLLL………………

tomorrow: Stef puts in her 2 cents.

Money mends most misfortunes, mishaps, mischief, miseries.

(For others there is jail, prison, shunning, beatdowns, frowns, heavy fines — oh wait, that’s money again….)

A nominal fee seems workable, much like these motels which charge by the hour (for those of us do not sleep long).

My freshman year was not good. I had the roommate from hell, literally. I spent most of my time in the basement of the dorm. It was quiet and peaceful, and away from my horrible roommate and her shenanigans. When I was a sophomore, a private room opened for occupancy in my dorm. I jumped on it! For three years, I had a private room all to myself. It was wonderful!

I like the way Bets thinks.

BOOKING.YEAH!

how about a scenario like this: Tiff crosses out Steffi’s name for some days on the hut schedule. Kip doesn’t know and he enters the hut and finds Tiff instead of Steffie. or maybe he enters and finds a naked Dez instead of Steffie.

Wait till they find out Stef has been letting all of her cheerleader friends and the football team use the privacy hut! That would be interesting!

Just dismantle the Privacy Hut and see where things go from there! Steff may have no scruples whatsoever, but Kip could get into trouble with the football coach for too much public display of his love-making (potential scandal for the team and for Moony U.)….

can one be both monogamous and promiscuous?

We haven’t actually seen Stef and Kip in a while. Maybe Kip is gone and Stef over-booked the privacy hut as a cover. In any case, this storyline is ridiculous. College should be nearly done for the semester. Finals should be happening soon, and no one is talking about that. Kick Stef out for the Fall, and bring Bern in. Or, as mentioned, go live in Tiffany Manor. I’m tired of reading about these sexaholics.

Ummmmm… would it be all that hard to set up a second privacy hut?

They risk having the same things done to them if they play silly pranks, even though it would be amusing. Here’s what I don’t get. Who put STEF in charge of the privacy hut? I agree with the person who said earlier just rip up the calendar and make a new one dividing the time equally. No exceptions! If it’s not your time then you aren’t allowed to use it. Asking for payment is only going to anger Stef and Kip and if they cough it up they will feel entitled to use it whenever they wish. Not really a solution at all. And anyway I can see Dez or Gunnie and Bets using it but what good would it possibly do Tiffany? I guess she could sell her timeshare to Stef!!!!! ;-)

We haven’t seen Luann in quite a while.
