Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 20, 2022

If she’s going to call herself Tycoon Tiffany, she needs to wear a lot more bling/gold jewelry to sell it. The outfit she’s wearing doesn’t say tycoon. Viewers can be harsh and there’s always a troll or 2 out there.

Maybe she should give up and try doing ASMR? She already has the chimes and I’m sure she knows how to tap her nails. lol

She hasn’t learned the first rule of the internet.

Hilarious

Harsh. ✨

It’s gamergate all over again. First rule: Girls need no apply.

“Sonsy?” Saucy?

very relatable, social media influencers have to have thick skin. there’s always haters on social media because hiding behind a screen gives people power.

I’m sure the first comment is “What a rich brave”

Very sad. Tiffany is the most interesting person in this comic.

Tiff you are no social media influencer you just doesn’t have what it takes.

Tiff haters can be mean and attack your looks and appearance.

the internet is not a kind place Tiffany!

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” “Not you, my Queen, err Tiffany”.

Favorite comment #6: This arc better improve fast. 8^ (

Plot twist: all the comments are from Ann Eiffel.

It’s like this comment section got transplanted to the strip itself!

Tiffany in the Sunday Luanniverse also tried being a social media personality, with similar viewer response:

https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2015/05/31

But with weekday Tiffany, we get to see what happens next …

In the last panel, it is evident that Greg reads the comments towards Tiff here.

stay ‘sonsy’… what does that mean?

Why set her up as a sympathetic character and then dump on her?

A pox upon them! Small minded Cretins, all!

It would have been fun if Greg would have made the last panel an interactive one. Where we could click in the last panel and keep scrolling down. Well maybe not, it might have crashed the server.

And of course, “You suck at this.”

I can’t disagree with any of commenters, really.

Social media won’t lead you to success. Start up Tiff as Nails again.

Negative attention is better than no attention. Clicks are clicks.

So they think she should weigh 105 lbs, then. They’re probably obese, that’s usually how it works.

People are starting to follow Tiffany, unfortunately they only do it for insult her. I don’t know… maybe this is what normally happens when someone starts posting for become an influencer. But for me, this isn’t working at all! Tiffany needs to find something that will catch the eye and maybe her tips will be about how to throwing fancy events and will be a huge success. Otherwise, these comments will become impossible to ignore and will slowly ruin her life.

Okay All, lighten up on Tiff!!! She’s just starting to get her feet wet on that influencing madness!!!

Tiffany?

Life lesson #1: Most “folks” hate the rich.

Life lesson #2: Most “folks” hate the rich even more when they flaunt their wealth.

Life lesson #3: The only time most “folks” tolerate the rich is when the rich are giving them free stuff. And even then, “folks” HATE the rich.

Therefore:

1) Never let “folks” know how much dough ya got

2) Always buy a couple of politicians. ;-)

“…or you will be tracked down and….Never mind. You will find out. Heh heh heh.

Tiffany looks good. Just lose the vest, and get a tight tee shirt with a deep V-neck.

So many, showing how little they know, so quickly. lol

So she posted to this comment section?

ducks

Ignore them, Tiff. There’s always haters out there for everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING! You gotta ignore the insults because it’s just their insecurities talking. Look for those with constructive criticisms and grow and evolve from there. Dollars to donuts Bets didn’t start off strong either. Nobody does (and anyone who says otherwise is a liar or is delusional to the point of being concerned).

Internet Trolls. Can’t live with them.. can’t sacrifice them to the volcano.

Hey, four instant comments!

Gee, and I always thought doorknobs were smart!!

Ouch. Tone it down, Tiff. However, you have to expect those trolls – comes with the territory. If you find the just right and friendly tone, you’ll win fans. Remember you are the 1% of America. Not very many people can relate to you if you take this tone.

Fat shaming & blonde stereotyping

Critics are tough. Tiffany got negative responses, but she got responses. Not unlike some “Luann” commenters.

Yep! It’s official, Tiffany is on Twitter! Welcome to the world of social media Tiff, your one way ticket to Depression Lane Street!

I don’t know …. these backward steps into the world of permanent superficiality of Bets and Stef … just don’t seem to be working for Tiffany.

This was a funny strip. Maybe Tiff can become a leader. Maybe this will be her first step toward a political career. Maybe she can find a spot in pro wrestling. Politics…pro wrestling…same thing.

‘Sonsy’?!?

Predictable responses, especially in this era of “wokeness”. I actually feel sorry for Tiffany.…

“Stay sonsy”??

It’s ridiculous that some people think someone who’s drawn like Tiffany is “fat.”

That’s social media They hate you until they don’t anymore. And they still come back to comment and view so you get money. I shudder to think what Bets comment section looked like the first few times she posted.

What does “stay sonsy” mean?

Tiffany has become the victim of cyber bullying and trolls.

I got harassed because I said I don’t like crispy french fries!?!? I don’t get the everything has to be cooked to a crisp thing.

Good – hope this “copy Bets” chapter is done soon. Bets is a disgusting character that I wish did not have have real life human counterparts in operation. Her “me first” money grubbing attitude does not make for a kind world. Last thing we need to see daily in this cartoon is Tiffany in her footsteps.

Where is Luann and the gang?

Sonsy?

You’re getting noticed, Tiff! And remember, there’s no thing such as “bad” publicity!

Nailed it.

Shake it off, Tiff…

i was thinking like 15lbs, but 20’d be good too. :-/

WTF does Sonsy mean?

She’s getting back how she treated kids in HS

Welcome to the internet…

I kind of wonder if this arc is inspired by this comics comments section?

what does “sonsy” mean?

Don’t let those haters get to you, Tiff. After all, they’re just jerks like Ann Eiffel.

She’s inspired only envy in others so far. She needs to get REAL with her viewers. If she shows her true kindness and her vulnerable side she will get fans. Hey look at how well it worked for her on this comments section!!!! People are in love with her, some are ready to rename this strip after her and she really hasn’t changed all THAT much. As for those who want her to go all sexy well shame on you, if you think that’s all she’s got to offer as a person. Tiff will find her way. Sooner or later something will click for her in a positive way. And she won’t have to undress to do it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! CHORTLE CHORTLE CHORTLE!!!!!!!!!

When Tiff saw an available niche and jumped in, like the Mooney logo on nails and now the storage business, customers lined up. Tiff, stick with what you know; there’s no lucky $ on the internet or social media.

So, all her followers come from the Luann commenters, eh!

Here’s a tip: Unplug. Problem solved.

ka-sonsy

She’s getting a real taste of social media. A bad taste! Hang in there, Tiff!!!! You will find your way. Or perhaps discover social media isn’t for you.

Ok… had to look up “sonsy” … I will be using that from now on.

1 rule of the internet: don’t read the comments.

Oh.

Need coffee, out.

OK, Tiff. First off, you need to show at least some decolletage.

Good grief, how skinny does one have to be to be considered pretty?

You can post a video of two puppy dogs playing on YouTube and still get comments like this.

Stay sonsy said the sensei.

No doubt Bets fell into the SM-influencer business over time and because she was already a savvy consumer of SM. Tiff is expecting to have it all on day 1 and it’s not working which is no surprise. Tiff, if you want to establish an SM presence, fine; show who you are as a person and the tangible things you do, not what you have or where you live; and pullleeeeze don’t be giving advice; you’re not a tycoon.

And there you have it!

Doornob? Dum? Showing their ignorance. “Dumb as a doorknob.”

Bets should be able to help Tiffany get over this bump, as RSH points out, she was already a saavy consumer of social media, and she is a marketing whiz in this 21st century Promotion P of Marketing’s 4P’s. Having trolls is a part of the Internet beast that shows the true nature of human nature, lots of negative vibes, and while I’m not going to get into a long comment as to my opinion, it is not surprising. In all seriousness I bet a lot of these trolls would click a lot going forward and depending on platform that means money if one gets enough clicks, hence click bait, for example, Tiff should be in her element here, but if she eschews it, then I think that is a character point that means a lot about Tiff. But I think that these two will, hilariously, figure out how to get her in revenue earning. That I daresay, in full knowlege of the misdirection plays this comic likes to throw, that success of the website will be a problem.

Still staggering up the mountain.

Tycoon Tiffany. The girl who was failing her economics classes until Bets started helping her. The girl who cheated on her thesis. The girl who has never worked at anything except waiting tables and moving furniture. If they are trying to depict her as a person who has grown up rich and entitled who is now a go-to influencer on big money deals and high finance, I suggest they use her father, oh, but wait, he was the one with the money problems. I really don’t think anyone on Wall Street is going to take Tiffany seriously. In comparison, Bets’ internet persona is much more believable. All she has to do is be cute and model the outfits that Gunther sews for her.

I agree with the lose 20 lbs comment, Greg make it happen!

My daughter’s dog was lost/stolen a few months ago. She posted several places on the internet about the dog. There were lots of nasty comments, but 95% of the people were caring and supportive. She got the dog back after a week.

Okay, that’s just mean.

Ohhh. Let the flame wars begin

Brutal!

3 days left this week! What will Tiffany do after being insulted on social media?

Internet trolls be harsh!

It is not a good idea to show off about how much money you have. Some people will always try to get it away from you.

Stay sonsy? Never heard of that.

Poor Tiff. Being a celebrity requires you to ignore what others think.

Bets needs to give Tiffany pointers on doing a vlog…

This is in the same galère as the hardy perennial short stories about a dude who somehow becomes telepathic and soon regrets it. You really, really don’t want to know what other people are thinking.

“Sonsy.”

I’m learning new words on here all the time.

You get what you asked for on “social” media…..

She was doing better believing in herself and without trying to impress anyone.

I cannot believe that Tiff has NOT been on social media before now.

Well,there’s progress.People are thinking up brand new emoji’s just to answer her.The other three—-QUIT COPYING OUT STUFF!!

“Influencers” want you to believe that all of the comments to their postings are positive—they never mention how many of their millions of followers are “haters.” I have never “followed” anyone. I have never contributed to their “riches.” I can’t imagine they will continue to pull in the money from suckers during this period of high inflation & gas prices.

And remember…movies are your best entertainment.

Hey! She’s reading Gocomics comments!

Here’s another tip: never, ever read the comments, unless you have an EXCEPTIONALLY thick skin.

Instead of insulting her appearance, they should insult her for pushing hustle culture and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous bullsh*t.

Scrooge McDuck never wore pants. Perhaps emulating his wealthy fashion style would help Tiff get more views.

It’s just like being the new kid in school. You meet all the nastiest people and bullies first. Later on, you make real friends.

Awwww, not nice.

Tiff should try being Tiff. Authentic. Struggling with being rich, overweight, teased, lonely, absent parent, AND fighting to make something of her life to overcome the odds that we all face, rich or poor or whatever class we are. Tiff is made of some fighter material. Please, Tiff, show that side. Let your guard down and be real.

The e-world is full of trolls.

Sonsy?

It’s not that people hate the rich or even just the rich who flaunt it (Kargashians) it’s that Tiffany is calling herself Tycoon Tiffany when she has never run a successful business. She’s all pretense and that is noticable even in her first post.

Understandable reaction these days.

Sonsy?

She looks fine with the 20lbs

What the heck is sonsy??

More proof Tiff is no longer the slinky slender plotting vamp she once was in her glory days…. It’s fatty fat Tiff from now on…

You must understand, Tiff, that Tycoon Tiffany needs to be extremely thick-skinned. Just remember, you are the tycoon, and those tweeting trolls aren’t….

Any engagement is good engagement!

“lose 20 lbs” where’s she gonna lose 20 lbs from? She’s not even remotely fat, she’s curvy. Don’t pay these people why mind tiffany, they’re just jealous of your super model physique.

Tiffany – if you want people to follow you on social media -give away one free 10 day trip to Maui with you and your father. You’ll have a million people before you know it.

Interesting that the word “sonsy” can mean “cheerful” or “thriving and fortunate” or even “plump”. It’s a Scottish word. I wasn’t familiar with it and had to look it up.

Before social media, there were rejection letters to Snoopy: https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2022/07/20?ct=v&cti=1066292&comments=visible#comments

Sonsy?
