Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 15, 2023

I’m thinking they probably should have called Luann on over 25 minutes ago. lol

This is a valid point. Young people are way faster figuring out computer stuff than middle aged people and seniors.

Hey… we finally know Luann’s official age…. 19. It was between 19 or 20.

Did Frank steal one of Gunther’s shirts? lol

Frank should be gracious about the years spent bringing up Luann. Without her they would be spending the next 19 years trying to figure out how to install that project.

My world and welcome to it.

See, she’s doing something to earn her keep.

Yup, that’s us oldies for ya! Get off my lawn!

My daughter sais " Just do this this and this" problem is that I don’t know where to find “this” .

Kids have problems with bullies, adults have problems with computers……techno-bullies.

Thank Luann for keeping you from getting the blue screen of death.

Apart from knowing that Luann is 19, I don’t know if it was already established but Frank is also left-handed.

Luann’s current age revealed, which would make her a sophomore. Which would make Bernice, Gunther, Ox, and Tiffany also 19 and sophomores.

There it is – Luann is only 19. She ages about one year per decade.

We didn’t have that stuff when we were young.

We had to invent it.

Have her clean her room as a thank you

LOL, we had a similar strip to this about 7 years ago:

And yet, “folks” still think that Luann’s the “dummy.”

Where’s little Shannon this morning? Usually she comes by on Sunday’s..She’s probably at church with her dad.

Good thing they have Luann around for help them in moment like this.

She started college in 2014… She never seemed a child prodigy.

Luann can actually DO something? Quel surprise!

Didn’t even look. Cold, but needed.

That’s true,they may be taster than us but hey,don’t forget who taught them how to use a fork and spoon

She’s still 19?

Frank and Nancy are so out of touch.

The present day Generation Gap. Somewhat less dramatic than mine was.

Okay, Luann NOT clueless today…and I feel for her parents! I talk to my computer often…

Yes ! BUT – " middle aged people and seniors " INVENTED EVERYTHING !

I’ve always maintained that computers are going to be the ultimate demise of modern civilization.

I’m with them. Why do they keep changing it every 6 months when it works fine? I did computers for 20 years, but they keep getting LESS intuitive, not more.

Like debit cards. Swipe it. No, now you insert it. No, now you tap it. Just pick one and stay with it. They’re ALL simple.

Right about now Nancy and Frank are wondering why they conceived Luann.

Returns on investment continue to come in. Luann will become even more helpful over time.

(And now we have established her current age as 19.)

Woo hoo! They installed the Ann Eiffel Double Secret Probation website.

My 15 yr. old grandson is a computer whiz!

This is an interesting comment on how tech-savvy young people are today. Unfortunately, they don’t have any other important qualities to go with it – like, motivation, work ethic, perseverance, generosity or empathy.

Just wait until your Windows 10 quad core 64 bit computer’s mother board ceases to function, & have to buy I learn how to navigate a windows 11 computer. This very analog 86 year old finds it easier to play Bach’s Joy on his 5-string & tenor banjos.

And to think these are the sort of people who grew up around computers all their lives. I started off on computers playing games on Apple IIs when I was in elementary school in the 80s.

and of course Frank and Nancy are STILL investing in her.

That’s right, Frank, you strange little man! Deal with it.

I’m the one doing this for the older people in the family. I am 58. I can’t wait until the technology gets too far ahead for me and I can annoy the heck out of the younger generations.

It is standard for comic strip parents to be computer illiterate, still listen to 60s music, protested the Vietnam War and dressed as hippies despite the fact they were in high school/college in the 80/90s.

B.S. Frank, what have you ever ‘invested’, especially when it comes to Luann?If you could, you would’ve hidden those 19 years under your bed. And most of the time invested came from Nancy, seeing as you spend so little time with her, except to complain!

In all fairness to us boomers we weren’t brought up around computers like this generation.

The younger generation may have mastered it but my generation invented it.

I’m 62 and I have no problems with computers, I’m not saying it’s like that for everyone in my age group but…..

If Bernice is this tech-savvy, why did she set up a binder system? Nancy should be asking her daughter to digitize her bookkeeping/accounting for the Fuse.

Suspicions confirmed! Even though Luann is a genius at hiding her intelligence, the truth is now out: she’s a lot smarter than I am!

Hey Luann is the hero today. And this strip proves she is still only 19.

Are Luann’s parents over 80 or something? Because people with kids around 18-25 years old should be computer-literate also, since they’ve been around for over 40 years now.

A commenter on another site put it pretty well: “I suppose it’s the usual phenomenon where comic-strip parents are meant to be identifiable by the septuagenarian audience, so they behave like boomers and not like the millennials they really should be.”

“So please don’t point and stare, [Luann’s parents] are just technologically impaired.” ~Alfred Yankovic

Bought a new iPad last year but ended up taking it back because it was too much trouble to set up. Well, granddaughter was here over Christmas so I bought a new on and in about 15 minutes it was up and going!!! Family tech support. Our son is a techie too but doesn’t have the patience—“Dad, I showed you how to do that last time.”

This week: D. Coverly unmasked?

C’mon, Frank and Nancy! You know what they say about investing: “past performance is no guarantee of future success!” —Just look at Luann….

The younger generation simply absorbed computers, but my generation actually learned how to speak.

Tomorrow: We find out that Bets is seven months pregnant. Gunther, you rascal, better find out if the wedding chapel in Vegas that your mother and Al Gray used is still available.

You’re welcome.

Luann just installed a virus.

But I have Luann’s birthday as 1973! https://www.gocomics.com/luann/1986/04/08
