Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 20, 2012
Transcript:
Luann: "Quill, I want to get right to the point -" Quill: "What are we doing, and where are we going?" Luann: "YES! We stopped communicating and I don't know where we stand. A long-distance relationship is hard. Lives move on, I know that. So if you want to end it, just s-" Quill: "END it? We never even STARTED it. I want us to START" Luann: "Uh... you mean... right now?"

Telefooling around? Or is he telling her he is coming back and wants to get biz with her?

Luann:So if you want to end it…SAYWHA? Somebody wants to actually BE my boyfriend? Oh happy day! I actually didn’t repel someone!
The#1BoiseStateFan almost 12 years ago
I think that’s a yes

But now he knows she thought he wanted to end it so he has to wonder if SHE wanted to end it….

Oh by ALL means let START a “Relationship” Now that the two of You are Separated by an OCEAN and several Time Zones…..,
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Also, by “You mean right now?” I think Luann’s got two thoughts:A:Oh happy day! As above, and B:Wait a minute, start it how, you’re thousands of miles away…can’t make out on my bed from Aussieland…

Does anyone else react as to how “science-fictiony” this whole scenario would have seemed only a very short while ago?I mean, not only is Luann videophoning to the other side of the planet, but she isn’t even plugged in! And she is using a display thinner than anything we saw on Star Trek, about as thin as those on 2001: A Space Odyssey.And even I was talking with a dear friend this way last weekend in a very sweet and private discussion conducted from opposite sides of the planet. For free.Love it.

Morning all…am I remembering correctly that Luann sent off a rather romantic letter to Quill pretty much stating her feelings? It takes some time for mail to make it Down Under so I understand that he is only now responding. Maybe he will come back. Why else start up.
Sisyphos almost 12 years ago
Are we really, really sure Quill is in Australia at this very moment? Or might he be back in the States, ready to START almost at once?—Whatever the case, this does look like a moment full of promise for a grown-up relationship for Luann!

Lu and Quill get together, sparks fly, they set a date and presto, Toni starts thinking she’d better start getting serious about her relationship with Brad……
MDeB almost 12 years ago
Re-read the post you are refering to..It clearly states ‘how “science-fictiony” this whole scenario would have seemed only a very short while ago’, not how it seems now.
Ottodesu almost 12 years ago
I know indeed. One of the reasons I started selling computers in the early 1980s was for the fascination as to how they would evolve into the things I read about in the 1960s.Most science fiction writers got it wrong, their imaginations were way too limited.

I’m getting married next month after over 3 years in a long distance relationship.. (5 if you count how long I’ve know the girl.) Plus we have a different language.. We met when I was in her country for a year, I’ve been back several times. hopefully it shows luann and quill going the distance. it’s tough but not impossible.
vwdualnomand almost 12 years ago
some movies of long distance relationship are pretty good. like going the distance, sleepless in seattle, the time travelers wife, lake house.
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
If he’s moving to the States, fine, if he’s staying in Australia, then just be friends, Luann

that’s how you keep the strip PG… have Luann go through puberty with a long distance BF.
chicken 33 almost 12 years ago
Maybe he is back.
Cajtri87 almost 12 years ago
Actually he wasn’t calling it “science fictiony” now. Was just relating that a few years ago it would have seemed that way. Yeesh. It was just a comment on progress. Why yell at someone about things like that?
Hugh Manatee almost 12 years ago
Start? Start what? He’s in Australia. Can’t wait to see the Hollywood-style resolution to this one.

Way to go Greg!.This is will be a great way for parents to see how the kids communicate long distance today..
rugeirn almost 12 years ago
I seem to recall they went most of the way not only to starting it, but to consummating it. Now wee see that Quill didn’t think he had a relationship with her at that point. She’d better think twice about him.
kthree almost 12 years ago
@Goodheart — the letter was returned for insufficient postage. He never got the letter. This is all on Quill.
uncledad_99 almost 12 years ago
Luann will never be able to understand what a relationship is!! Her answer is “Right now?” I would rather get back to Ox in Weenie World.
Dragongirl2319 almost 12 years ago
He’s coming back.

Johnny one-note – or in this case Leviticus one-note!
weblais almost 12 years ago
So either— surprise! Quill is back in the States, or Luann is about to embark on a cyber “romance” that will have her looking past the possibility of a real, in-the-flesh relationship.
imbaldeagle almost 12 years ago
“I would guess Greg wouldn’t be starting this arc just to confirm what Luann thought was over”.I agree. Remember that Greg decided that he’d better shape up and devote more energy to the strip right after he got so much flak from his readers about the Luann/Quill breakup due to his father’s posthaste return to Australia. So this is the romance resumption/startup – not the termination.

He really likes her and can’t get her out of his mind. He knows there is no one else for him.

“Don’t tell me “science fictiony” — it’s reality. "-It was the stuff of science fiction up until recently. This should be obvious. That which was once considered a wild-eyed dream is now reality. -That is what he said and meant.

It sounds like the beginning of the old “Law of Inverse Hotness.” He gets hot’ she gets cool. Then the opposite.

If he stays there and she stays here, that’s one helluva long distance relationship.
Can’t wait to see where this goes.
vldazzle almost 12 years ago
As someone mentioned, webcams can do a lot, and my lover also recommended the best lighting (the daylight version of the high efficiency bulb works the best). I still hope to be with him more than 2 months of the year, but one trip is very near ;-D
beachlvr Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Luann is way too young to be committing to a long distance relationship. period.
Sarah Colvig almost 12 years ago
I love Luann. I don’t think she’s too young, she’s been in high school for a billion years now.. Long distance relationships are hard, I’m in one.

Just think of how “science-fictiony”, things are now. Wonder if later in the future people will be able to get intimate in a long range relationship”^^^The technology already exists, they have a kind of love doll sort of thing that conects to the net and whatever you touch on the doll on your end, the other person feels and vice versa; it could be years before it becomes affordable, at the moment it’s still in the labratory stage; I wonder though, would the churches of the World allow this to be legal? (Despite the fact that it would represent the ultimate in safe sex)< Saw this on the show “Sex” , on Showcase

Reminds me a little of the Justin B thing- why should anyone care if teens are going steady. They are way too young to know what love is all about!!

Of course Quill could be in the States traveling to Lu or Lu is going to travel to “Land of Down Under” for Christmas.

You guys do know this is just a comic strip right?
David Huie Green AmericaIsGreatItHasUs almost 12 years ago
“@DavidHuieGreen
yes it was specifically mentioned in the strip:http://www.gocomics.com/luann/2012/10/03"-Yep, you’re right and I was wrong. Wonder if I missed it or if senility has finally gotten its grip on me. Regardless, thanks.

“At my age, what’s “science fictiony” are all the meds I take that were unavailable a coupla decades back (for BP, cholesterol, etc).”-To be truly science fictiony, you would be like Carson Napier in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Venus series. Doctors checked Carson out and announced he would be dead within a couple of hundred years if untreated. Then they gave him the ONE pill to cure the effects of aging and illness.
