I was a file clerk and played in a band on the weekends with my late husband who also had a day job. But there were times when neither of us had a day job but the band kept us eating and Manpower jobs kept the roof over our heads. Back then it was a valid way of making extra money but not anymore. The pay is the same now as it was 40 years ago.
FWIW, I knew I wanted to be a singer when I was 2 and knew I wanted to be a songwriter when I was 8. I grew up doing both although I haven’t made any money as a songwriter as yet.
When I think about what Luann was like when this comic strip started, an insecure 13 year old who hated everything about herself who had been an insecure little girl who hated everything about herself and compare that to how she is now, liking herself the way she is, it seems like Luann has actually matured more than most of her friends.
I’m with you, I love animals and miss them when they go but if a child dies, that’s the worst pain on Earth because you aren’t supposed to outlive your children.
I was just a little girl when that show was on but I remember it as being funny. but then, I was 11, what did I know? Lol
