    Toni wants a little one around. But she hasn’t encountered the 0-to-2-years-old part of the kid-raising game. Not as much fun but lots of work and little sleep.

    (P.S… All worth it in good time.)

    I find it hard to believe ALL of his stuff could even fit in his car too.

    How come we’ve never heard of Rudy before? Looks like he’s had more options than just Toni & Brad after all.

    While Jonah doesn’t appear deliberately disingenuous, his fully-packed vehicle does indicate planning that he never even hinted at to his helpful sister and her husband who have provided stable home care for his daughter. One might infer that he is avoiding an overdue discussion about responsible childrearing and schooling for Shannon. He is close to being reported to Child Protective Services for lack of responsible parental planning. If followed accurately, this would not really be an entertaining story arc.

    I’m beginning to wonder if we are in the middle of a major reconstruction of “Luann.” This current story line seems to be going on forever, and with Jonah apparently homeless there seems a strongly likelihood that he will move in with Brad and Ton,i with TJ given the boot. At which point the series will be 100% tales of Shannon..

    What puts me in this mood was a story that Greg got the idea for “Luann” while acting the antics of his then 9 year old daughter. For some reason while preparing the strip for syndication he up-aged Luann to 13. But his fascination with the demonic Shannon suggests that he remains obsessed with that 9 year old. He’s push the original 4 year old Shannon to 6 years old. This past month has seem her turned into a model child suitable for a newspaper strip. And considering that neither Greg or Karen can come up with interesting stories for Luann, or even Tiffany or Bets suggests all the old cast is heading for the Memory Hole while Shannon reigns.

    But, Sheesh! I hope I’m wrong.

    Shannon’s dream of having a puppy could come true soon, Nice! But I think she’ll miss her dear aunt and uncle over time. I wonder if Jonah will find a house on the same street as his sister or far, far away. It’s easy to see that Toni and Brad will miss Shannon terribly. Maybe that could be what finally pushes them to try to have kids.

    what is it with Jonah that when he makes a good decision, he then takes a step back. One, why pack up all your stuff when you don’t even know where you’re moving to? Two, wouldn’t couch surfing at Brad and Toni’s be better than you both doing it at Rudy’s, even if his dog just had puppies. At least at Brad and TOni’s, Shannon has her own room

    Shannon’s hair looks longer. Must have been a LONG conversation between daily strips.At this rate, the next time we see Shannon, she’ll be a full-grown teenager, like when Luann grew up overnight about 25 years ago (and shocked everyone at the start of school).

    Jonah and Shannon are quickly heading toward being a homeless family. His cell phone won’t be working soon, they’ll be staying with friends when possible and sometimes sleeping in the car. He’ll make it all into a big adventure, and talk about how they’re going to stick together through thick and thin. The house with the puppies helped him seal the deal.

    When you have children, they could have any of the qualities of any of you extended gene pool. The genius brother with the wonderful personality, or the drug addict with emotional problems. My parents had 11 kids, all turned out with different qualities. Toni could easily have a child with the disposition of Jonah.
