Luann by Greg Evans for October 07, 2022

Finally! It’s getting good!! lol

I’m thinking she’ll call up Ox and he’ll make sure the house is safe and nobody is in there.

Since the window is upstairs, I’m going to guess that maybe a baseball went through it…but we’ll see.

time to call in Ox?

Once again, I called it. Tiff’s gonna be super paranoid now.

Quick! Dial 1-800- CopsOx!

Run, Tiff!

Surely some kid playing baseball hit a home run

The Mansion isn’t wired?

Obviously someone has broken in evidenced by the bent security bar and broken glass! But who? I think it might be someone she knows for whatever reason. Someone threatening would be too dark. Witness the reaction to Tara’s cousin episode.Tune in tomorrow

Well, the “Manse” May or May not be “spooky,” but Tiffany certainly got SPOOKED.

If Tiffany is lucky, that glass was broken by the neighbor’s kids playing baseball.

Of course, Tiff ain’t that lucky.

So.

What’s missing?

And is the culprit still in the house?

Tiff needs a roommate, even if its nothing more than a big loud smelly dog,…or an Ox !

it’s your house Tiff, be calm

Ah, reality sets in..though not always nice, it is real.

So much for a Fortress of Solitude. 8^ (

1-800 Ox

Call the cops, right now!

I think Ox didn’t break the window (but it might have been a good plan).

OX!!!

“OX!!!!!”

Large bird hit the window?

Well Tif, you WANTED your solitude, so enjoy your SOLITUDE.;D

Time to call “Cop Ox” and hope no one is still in the mansion. Poor Tiffany, she will now no longer be able to feel safe in her big spooky house. What will she do? Going back to college now would seem like a defeat, but the alternative it’s staying at home or in a hotel. Maybe she will ask some friend for hospitality. in that case, asking Irma and Al if she can spend some time with them might be the solution.

Ann Eiffel: Episode MCX – The Devious Diva Strikes Back

Trigger the alarm system NOW, call Ox, get out of the house. And, remember it’s too light outside for the Bat signal, and the cops have probably been defunded, so you’re screwed.

OMG!!! Her hamster got out!

.

Tricky little devil, made it look like the glass was broken from the outside in…

You mean the security system didn’t pick that up? Or the “skeleton staff”?

Me thinks I was really close to being right on this one…

It’s the second floor window. Maybe it’s Tara looking for another place to live..

Did all Tiffany bring home was two suitcases and a hand bag? So why did she need Ox’s help? Answer: she didn’t but it was necessary to establish Ox’s role for the upcoming story. The first panel establishes that she is on the second floor. The second panel shows that the window break is too small bit anyone to crawl through. Conclusion: Ox threw the stone to scare Tiffany into letting him into her house. Not for evil intent but because he’s a love-sick puppy and isn’t thinking clear. Alternatively, it Stef who’s mad that Tiffany showed her up.

I’m sure she can afford a good security system for the whole house, and grounds!!

Whoa, Bets. First, investigate. You’re on the SECOND floor. They break in on the FIRST floor. See if there’s a rock or a ball or something like that. It could be just an accidental breakage from outside by neighborhood kids. Or the gardener. If you find something like that, call the police just in case. Have it filed away for future reference if anything were to happen again in the future. Whoa. I said the wrong thing…NOW Tiff is gonna want to move back to the dorm…..

COME ON, guys! This window is on the SECOND floor. It is NOT a break-in. It is most likely an accidental breakage. Tiff simply panicked because her mansion IS spooky because nobody is home. She let her imagination run wild. She might be spooked enough to take her suitcases straight back to the dorm.

Clearly word got out that Kip’s class ring went missing after being stored at the WareManse and someone couldn’t wait to try and get their hands on all that valuable Kipness

I say she’ll find a rock with a menacing note from Ann Eifel attached!

She allowed Bets to post her home and address online and showed the contents of what was in it. Her dad warned her that doing something like that wasn’t safe. I hope she doesn’t move back to the dorm. Atleast not with Stef and Bets

In rescuing a cat from a tree, Brad and/or Tony backed up the fire engine with the ladder extended, and backed it up just a bit too far.

This week’s entry for the Far Fetched Prediction Award.

It’s on the second floor so it’s unlikely to be an intruder. She didn’t notice anything out of place when she came in so the place wasn’t robbed.

I agree with those who say it looks like somebody put a ball through the window.

Her next move should be to get out of the house and then call the cops so they can go through it and make sure nobody’s there.

Don’t be scared, Tiff. It was probably some bratty kid. Maybe Shannon.

Stef may be behind this!

Wanna bet the toxic roomies all wind up sharing the manse with Tiff?

In Bill Maudlin’s comic strip from World War II, Willy and Joe, there’s a set of panels where the pair are looking at a chateau in France in which every window is broken, save one. In the last panel, Joe turns to his partner and says, “Go ahead, Willy – you won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

err… wait a minute! does that mean someone is there!? I’d run too. :{

So the security system never phoned anyone on that obvious alarm trip? Was this Les’s burglar insight a few panals back when he was relaying his mental inventory list? On a casual walk around the police wouldn’t normally look higher than the first floor windows unless there was a walk up deck in the back of the house. Alternatively a ladder strategically placed while the manse gates were open would not be outside the realm of believability. Property destruction seems a little to “manual labor” for Ann, but…

Her dad is way too savvy and rich not to have had an alarm system that would have went off and called the police.

Interesting that it is upstairs.

Apparently her “Cop Ox” phone number is going to used sooner than she thought. Several possibilities here. An accident caused by a badly hit baseball or softball …. or …. a scheme to set up a video session to entertain someone’s “fans”. Certain things you don’t put past certain people.

Be nice to have your Glock about now. Hope you don’t live in a city or state where the right for a woman to defend her self is banned.

She’s on the 2nd floor so a break-in here seems unlikely. Still, those windows bars are bent back…

Oh no! A burglar! Quick! Call the police! What number do you dial for 911?

Oh dear God does this imply a week 5, just go ahead and change the strip name to Tiffany.

I see the broken window (second floor BTW… Probably just a rock thrown by Steff being a jerk…) and Tiff panicking… and suddenly “In The House – In A Heartbeat” starts playing in my head…

Interesting that there is no object lying on the floor that was thrown through the window that managed to bend the trim bars. A burglar would have cleared the broken glass from the window sill.

Finding a broken window, whether upstairs, or, downstairs, SHOULD be a concern for Tiffany, since she’s all alone in that Manse. And, she SHOULD call the Police, and, Tom to report the broken window, and, Ox, to keep her company.

It’s a good 3 miles run to the exit door… this is a job for Scooby Doo!

Lost her purse, and doubtless her cellphone, unless she keeps that somewhere else. Daaaaaang

Good calls by those who wrote the manse is susceptible to break-ins and vandalism.

I did not see that coming! No motion sensors on the alarm system? Glass break alarm? That’s the second floor, so unless someone had a ladder, they wouldn’t have gotten in. Ok, too logical. Who ya gonna call? Cop Ox? Seems Bets got into her head. I don’t like where this may be headed, back to MU? ugh. §:-/

Well, Bets is missing out on some prime streaming content. There’s that, at least.

It’s Ann. She does a “fatal extraction” thing. Wearing a goalie mask & nothing else.

So the dumba** move of putting their address on social media finally comes home to roost. Well played, Greg.

We have a Halloween story now.

The obvious solution is to invite (most) of her dorm mates to live with her

Can someone explain why is this strip called “Luann” when we have not seen her in a month?? Rude!

Finally Tiff’s helmet hair moves! I thought it might actually be a helmet! And why the Hell did she drop her purse? That’s probably where her phone is.

Ox…and he is ready…willing…able, not sure?

Looks like Tiffany is getting a bird for a pet.

I wonder if it’s a Charles Mansion?

Was her phone in the shoulder bag that flew off as she ran?

A baseball thrown from the ground to a second story window would not break through the metal framing. Not unless it was shot from a cannon.

Run. Call police from a safe a secure area (panic room?). Window breakage on second floor? I suspect baseball or something else.

Push the cop ox button Tiff, he is probably still on the property

“Okay, maybe a little bit spooky.”

Just hold a pencil or pen through the hole in the window to determine the trajectory of what came in.

What State is Luann supposed to take place in again?

Good ‘ol 2A evens up the playing field in women vs. men’s physical confrontations.

Then again— maybe Tiffany with a Glock wouldn’t be the best idea, since Greg never showed a backstory of her training and learning pistol safety at the range.

Could be that Tiff tripped on a ball or whatever broke the 2nd floor glass window. She could end up hurt and alone with Ox to the rescue. Or he could have still been outside or nearby and will come back to help her.

The way those bars are bent, someone had to bend them. So maybe someone threw something to break the window to get in.

Breaking and entering by a follower who doesn’t know the Kippy ring has been found.

Well that’s not good.

I hope this doesn’t make Tiff move back to the dorm, or worse yet, ask her dorm mates (shudder) to move in with her.

Tiff is smarter now. She can start a rooming house with way more amenities – pool, own room, etc… and call the shots against prima donnas like Stef. She is always wanting to prove herself in business.

Here come Shag & Scooby running with some demon in hot pursuit!

What, no alarm system in the Tiffmansion?

Wouldn’t an alarm have gone off?

If it was a baseball that broke the window, will we soon meet Tiffany’s new back door neighbor who belted it over much of his large back yard and all of hers (swimming pool, “pagoda” (gazebo), and all)? And will Tiff think he’s a hottie?

Now you can see how desperate Luann is to get back into her own comic strip.

A large item broke the 2nd floor window. There is no baseball or large stone lying on the floor. It was either a large bird or a drone that broke the glass in the window. The alarm system doesn’t cover the 2nd floor.

Most likely just vandalism.

Tiffany tossed her purse in escaping from the 2nd floor and The security system is located on the 1st floor.

yes Tiff shouldn’t leave behind her purse with all her money, ID and plastic.

A tactical drone can break a window and search for Bets?

the question is: is the person who broke the window still there? Maybe tomorrow she runs into him/her!

So much for escaping drama. While it’s understandable for her to panic, here’s hoping she still has her phone on her. She needs to call the police, but she may call Ox or even her father.

Whatever it is, let’s hope it doesn’t make her go back to living with Stef again.

It’s not spooky, it’s creepy as in full of creeps! Your dad didn’t think about a home security system for a mansion?

For all of you who said baseball, or bird, or whatever… please note that the window’s frame is bent into two pieces.

Now is a perfectly reasonable time to panic.

Seriously though. Where is the staff?

Did Steph have time to go over there and break the window before she realized her ring wasn’t missing?

Re the security system: It was turned off when Ox and Tiff entered, so that it wouldn’t alarm. Ox reminds Tiff to reset it, but it doesn’t appear that she has done so yet. Not sure on the timing of the broken window, though.

Re the glass shards – a burglar has eyes and can avoid being cut or stabbed to death by glass in a window he has just broken into. Slipping into and out of places they don’t belong is a specialty of burglars.

A Halloween arc. How spooky.

Gee, Tiffany, let’s not rush pushing the panic button, Okay? The broken window doesn’t necessarily mean that a burglar or even a Mad Serial Killer is in the manse!

No security system?

I can just hear good ol’ Barney Fife yelling “Don’t panic! DON’T PANIC!”

Hmmmm…Anyone notice something? Breakin at Tiffany’s mansion and then Tara appears. Reminds me of the breakin at The Fuze (the theater part) and then there is Tara. Hmmm….
