Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 02, 2024

“I’ll never let go, jack.. Batubs will be a success.” Glub glub glub.. ;)

It’s true.. all Bets and Tiff need are those musicians who kept playing, while the Titanic sunk in the ocean. lol

I gotta admit.

I admire Bets and her stubborn tenacity, sometimes.

She don’t give up easy.

But then again, neither did General Custer…….., ;-)

Karen seems aware that her story is like the Titanic, a huge sinking mess, but she persists in extending the sinking.

’Let’s back up and hit th iceberg again!’

I’m impressed that the Evanses showed Tiffany knew the story of the Titanic. She’s not so shallow after all…

Well from time to time – Tiffany the Bimbo gets in her share of zingers.

Well, yes, but he was cleared of responsibility, albeit postmortem.

BOR-RING.

Give it up ladies. You can’t give someone a brand. People are in charge of their own lives.

Unlike the captain of the Titanic, at least Bets admits her project is a flop.

BTW, what happened to their school assignment?

Tiff understands that it’s time to shut it down, bur Bets still thinks she pull this off, "Well boys, do your best for the women and children, and look at for yourselves ".

“All hands abandon ship!” as the claxon sounds in the background! (Thinking of the Star Trek: Next Gen episode “Cause and Effect” where they got stuck in a time loop. They were only stuck for 18 days. How long have Bets and Tiff been stuck?)

RIP Richard Tandy Keyboardist of ELO he was 76 years old.

Tiff said it. They bombed. Time to move on, girls.

They need to help each other figure out themselves first…

They are already building the business case and don’t know it. Basically it’s not about 1:1 coaching as it doesn’t scale, but creating a course or guidebook and offering it online for a scalable price and offering 1:1 services for a higher price that covers their manual time spent while the online courses generate passive income with bi-yearly updates.

Oh, Tiffany, poor sleepy eyed Tiffany, bring back the bright eyed, sexy, seductress that once prowled the high school.

This arc is like a viral infection… It just keeps hanging on…

The Luann email that arrived today had a header reading “What makes something funny?” All I could think was, “Find out and apply it to this story arc.”

Re-branding the branding that was never branded.

If this arc continues on Monday, I’m going to LOSE IT.

It’s time to move on, the horse is dead on this story line.

Very appropriate analogy Tiff, especially if you discount that the Titanic was well designed, built, actually floated and made it out of port. Oh, and people actually used it and enjoyed it. It was a success. The only reason its success was so short was human stupidity (which is the main thing you two have in common with the Titanic)

Props to Tiff figuring out that this is not the greatest idea. What is next? Gunther or Bern showing up and giving Bets another “good” idea??

Most people would give up and try something else.

Back when this arc started, on March 27, they had a rebranding assignment due on April 1. I think it’s a little over due at this point. As is a different arc.

Tiffany is reverting into her past self and I don’t like that.

I feel like we’re rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Where is this going? Weeks of nothingness.

It’s time to stick a fork in this storyline and call it done.

They made a promise to a client and they have to follow through or they are not proper business people; Bets and Tiff should have tried their concept on themselves first; they made assumptions; they didn’t dig deep yet they are in a hole; I believe they will follow through but not until they do the homework they should have done earlier.

Worst. Story. Arc. EVER.

“Dámn the icebergs, full speed ahead!”

The captain of the Titanic said “who ordered the ice?”

E.J. Smith ignored the iceberg warnings despite receiving multiple messages. Plus the alleged conversation he and Bruce Ismay had about speeding up the ship.

They’re problem is they can’t identify someone who needs rebranding. Luann is someone who is comfortable with herself and feels no need to be rebranded. Betts ought to make an ad posting to touch base with some of her FOLLOWERS from her old site, people who probably really need to be rebranded.

I’m beginning to think that hara kiri is the next inevitable step in getting away from this inanity.

This thread has a 200-ft gash below the waterline. Lower the boats ! Women and children first!

Bets has a future as a spin doctor.

Does this mean this Ark has finally reached the end of its voyage?

This chapter of the strip is getting really boring.

Sinking arc. Next please…

I never thought I’d get this close to shutting down Luann’s strip, but this arc has me reallllly close.

the soup of the day is new england clam chowder oyster crackers are a extra charge

Near…Far…whereeeeeeever you are…

I believe that this arc does go on, and on, and on…….

Recognizing that the idea they thought was so good wasn’t is a great act of maturity, especially if they are able to talk about it so calmly. Tiffany and Bets work well as business partners, let’s hope they continue to work together. I would have liked if Luann could have found her major thanks to them, but that leaves the possibility that Jack will be the one helping her. He’s studying to be a vet thanks to her and could return the favor.

The Titanic sank…….

Fix yourselves first.

Pretty sad when Tiffany is the smartest one in the room.

Boycott Luann until Evans and Evans dump this storyline.

That’s right. Spin it Bets, spin it good!

“Taking too much time?” It’s been like two days…

You’ve been watching the movie again, haven’t you, Tiffany?

No, he didn’t, but the effect will be the same if you go with that.

“Hofstadter’s law – It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.”

This is an important rule to learn when first embarking on project management. ;-)

They have the makings of Press Secretaries with clever spins.

The iceberg survived….

No need to tell Luann anything….. just leave her alone.

I am glad they are “refining their course forward” (business buzz-speak for figuring out how to salvage their foolish plan). I think they should start over and do something completely different, behind the scenes, and doing so with the thousands of Moony students we never see. Then after they are done….. have an actual scene here where Tiffany is shown clicking a keyboard button and proclaiming to Bets, “I just submitted our project…. minutes before the due date! C’mon, let’s go do something fun instead.”

In military parlance, it’s time to make “an orderly advance to the rear.”

I think Bets and Tiffany should have a thorough discussion about their business plan – like for two or three more weeks at least.

Maybe they too can hire an orchestra to play while their ship sinks

I don’t think they have to worry about telling Luann anything. I doubt she’s eagerly awaiting her “new brand.” If they really feel the need to tell her anything, they could just say: “We concluded you’re fine just the way you are,” and let it go at that. A blank slate full of potential isn’t such a bad thing.

And before anyone starts yelling, “Luann needs to focus, Luann needs to pick a course of study,” let me say I agree with that assessment,. But LUANN is a fictional character who can only behave the way her creators want her to. And right now they want her to be a shallow, lazy idiot.

Magical thinking is never a good idea.

So what does that tell you?

Unfortunately, this storyline is about as good as their business model…

Glad yo see these two had a chance to go home, sleep, change clothes. Decisions are always best when made after a sound sleep and with strong Java in hand.

As I recommended on another site, they should highlight Lu’s breadth of interests and offer to brand her

Ms. Flexible orRenaissance Woman

Has there ever been a more boring, non-ending arc in the history of Luann?

…we’re in for another week of this, aren’t we?

I called this an idiotic topic a couple of weeks ago. I promised to stop reading this strip if the topic did not end. The time has come after many years to drop Luann. Good bye.

These two have no patience

The endless stinker of a story arc is getting worse.

Anybody notice Tiffs weight loss?

This arc is taking way more time than needed.

Bets will make quite a political consultant one day. (I know that was low hanging fruit.)

Poor Luann. I feel bad for her, and annoyed with Bets and Tiff. Especially Tiff.

I created an account to say I do not like Bets AT ALL. She causes more problems in this strip than should be tolerated.

Bogged down. Move on, nothing to see here.

You need to give up and move on, girls.

Luann is the cutest iceberg who ever sank a ship.

The Titanic was so sure the ship was unsinkable t hey only had half the number of lifeboats needed to evacuate the ship
