Wooo-hooo!!! :D:D:D
When did Luanne go from being a curly-haired geeky adolescent/teenager to a Britney Spears wannabe?
That’s not Luann, that’s her older brother (Brad’s) hot-but-clumsy firefighter coworker. Who is currently declaring her love for Brad - he’s gone from a total slob to a semi-buff guy with a better haircut.
Oh, but imagine if that was Luanne! That would be the best comic ever!
It’s about time! He’s only adored her for forever.
Nah. Luann’s currently on a love/conflict arc with three possible suitors: Gunther, the bookish nerdy guy; Elwood, the millionaire teenager; and Quill, the Australian exchange student (I admit that I’m extrapolating cliche plot twists with that last one).
I hope Brad doesn’t fuck it up somehow. Frankly, their “courtship” has gone on way too long as it is.
Meanwhile, Alex Doonesbury isn’t wasting any time!
There’s been some comic-strip time progression in Luanne, maybe about 4-6 years since the strip started. Luann is now a senior, isn’t as chunky as she was in junior high, and got her hair straightened. Her brother Brad graduated high school, buzz-cut his hair and got a job as a firefighter which made him give up being a couch potato.
All I can say is it’s about freakin’ time. Go Brad - get some!
Perhaps it was being scheduled by Mary Worth.
I’m worried they’re going to turn out like Amos and Edda in 9 Chickweed Lane. As they circled around each other for years and years, I grumbled at the strip in frustration, “for the love of God, would you two please just have sex!?”
Now I find myself cringing and griping, “for the love of God, would you two please stop having sex!?”
Somehow I don’t think that’s going to be the case here.
She looks WAY too much like her Dad!
Seriously. I mean, how can Brad possibly have sex with Toni when he knows TJ is at the spyhole in his closet watching him?
