Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 01, 2024

Luann and Bernice, perennial gawkers on the sidelines of life.

I dunno, Luann.

Guys are usually pretty serious about their basketball game.

Flopping over to the court while they are playing may prompt them to ask you to LEAVE.

If they are interested, they’ll come to you when the game is over.

All Sweaty and Stinky……, ;-)

I’ve heard that there are perks to being a wallflower.

I would personally like to see them join the basketball game. Imagine Bernice taking a jumpshot. xD

Bernice is right.

Not dressed for the park or for outdoor activities; Leaves nothing to participate in; might as well be a potted plant.

Go Luann and prove Bernice wrong.

Stories about how couples met: She dropped her hankie during a basketball play. Did that ever happen even once?

AUGH!! The silhouette people are back. Take them away!! Take them away!!

At least Bernice realizes that those novels ARE fiction—something that Luann apparently fails to grasp.

Oh yes! Please go play basketball with the guys!!

Luann, your suggestion will set you up for nothing but… embarrassment.

Later Nil an Jack walk through th park an see the girls on the court up in th air stuffed in to the hoop

Don’t forget to swoon and fan yourself.

I think they both look pretty cute. Just saunter over and ask if you can play. Even if they say no, they will have noticed you and I’ll bet when they stop playing, you’ll get some attention from them.

Never drop your hanky – or your soap, for that matter.

At least they’re having fun watching a basketball game. Or, more precisely, Luann is having fun, Bernice is doing one of her favorite thing; being negative. I really enjoy watching Luann list all the romance novel sports scene cliche, especially the infamous “Anime Accident”. Where the couple bump and end up on top of each other, with great embarrassment and comical effect. It would be nice if Bernice could be able to relax like Luann.

This is sadder than sad.

OH MY GOD! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! HOW COULD GREG AND KAREN THINK THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS! Yesterday Luann had a chicken leg in her hand (and in the completely wrong way) and today she has a drink!!!!!!!! This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE so I am going to rant and rave incessantly in the comment section over and over!

Depends on what’s flopping.

This is so stupid

Speaking of the guy in the hat, I hope he’s reaching for a rebound, because if he just took a shot, it would be the most awkward shot ever.

If this was “it happened one night” you could pull up your dress and adjust your stockings.

All you have to do is be six-foot-eight.

I don’t think interrupting their game is gonna get their attention, Luann.

Luann is such a romantic. Bernice’s last comment cracked me up! Their presence is obvious to any of those players, if they’re interested. All we need now is a rainstorm. Maybe some chivalrous guy will help them pack up.

Could she be another Caitlin and throw a three pointer from mid court? Nah

I hope this story ends soon or shifts focus. Bernice is hard to take every day when she is the main character.

I find myself embarrassed for cartoon characters. That’s bad.

They could challenge them to a game of horse – how would it be if Bernice won??

Yeah, I don’t recommend that Luann.

So in a 3-week (so far) arc dedicated to them going out and looking for love, only a day and a half’s worth of strips actually features them interacting with someone besides each other. This really is Tiffany’s Epic Pool Party™ all over again.

i hope Greg and Karen get back from Vacation soon…

Story lines as flat as Bernice’s chest.

Makes me wish I were a young woman with the confidence I have now at 64.

Look at you, all muck and muscle! Ay Blossom,just the way you like it! ;-)A little Highlander for your Thursday!

You two need to take flirting lessons from Stef, or, Tiffany.

Luann and Bernice are having a bit of trouble mixing their romance novel fantasy with the reality they have at the moment.

I still personally think both of them should mosey over to the court and sit around and watch and perhaps cheer on the team or teams that have guys they think are interesting.

If Luann actually does have a handkerchief with her, it would be funny and ironic for her TO drop it to see what would happen….. probably nothing, but if the 3.14 guy is any indication, at least some of the basketball players may be nerdy enough to know or recognize the handkerchief trope….. and he or a few of them may come over and talk with them.

Bernice feels a bit bruised at the moment from 3.14’s girlfriend comment, so she is feeling it is pointless….. BUT she could still end up being surprised.

They really do not have much to lose in giving it a try.

Ladies you need to stop.

Maybe they should try boxing! I hear some dude just won a GOLD medal after knocking out a woman!

This is why smart girls bring a Frisbee to “lose”. :)

what happened to all of their flames? Having played in those games, the last thing i was looking for was a girl-give me a beer or 3 and hit the shower alone.

Next time bring beer. Lol!
