Interestingly enough, today’s Luann just picked back up their own villainous (future) stepmother storyline with the villainous Ann Eiffel as the boyfriend of the rich Tom Ferrell, father of 19-year-old longtime cast member Tiffany Ferrell. As with Oliver Warbucks, Tom has been thoroughly fooled by Ann, who (correctly) sees Tiffany as her rival for Tom’s affections. In that case, it’s actually caused the self-centered Tiffany to slowly mature as an individual.
I think this storyline where Trixie disappeared more than two decades ago but she still had tried to send Annie (who was then – and is now – about 11 years old) away to boarding school is not going to work for any new readers who will be very confused.
Before we get too far away from the time-travel story, I wonder when Doc will figure out that he “lost” the mixtape in the first place because he took it back to 2019 from 1986!
This gag is timely, since many students spend their summer on internships, paid or not.
