I've been calling those things old lady radar hats for so long, I completely forgot I got that from Cul De Sac.



Blah blah and they get in and it's decorated fancy and not like pirates, WE KNOW.

Anyway, it's normal in Luann to start a story and let it go for two weeks and then leave it hanging so that Team Evans can run off and do sections of a few other stories before eventually coming back. But they started this one and then spent one week on the Luann's Mom Got Flirted With non-story before coming straight back to this. Why bother? It served no purpose at all, except to let the air out of the balloon.

I think the "Mom gets flirted with" storyline was a repeat from a few years ago, just posted in this thread, not currently running in newspapers. But gently caress if I'm gonna go check.

Flossing with good posture has always made me laugh, that panel gets stuck in my head to this day. And the first mention of Jeremy’s older brother! (who will briefly appear in this first year or so of Zits before getting banished to the Memory Hole for being boring af).
And Hector’s first appearance, in his old character design! The glasses and center part are EXTREMELY 90s, I love it.

What ever the gently caress, lady? I mean, I already knew you were a so-so parent, but. Holy poo poo.

Your child is missing. Literally, as far as you know, no one knows where he is. He might be in trouble. He might have fallen down a well, or be lost in the woods, or gotten run over by a car, or whatever. And you're just leaving? You're just leaving??? "Oh I'm gonna miss my plane" THE PLANE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE WITH YOUR CHILD. THAT PLANE. YOU'RE LEAVING ON YOUR OWN. WITHOUT KNOWING IF YOUR CHILD IS ALRIGHT.

Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo.

Again a very likpatous story
I have a question about the most recent Tackleford thing, what happened to Shauna that she's no longer hanging around Lottie and Mildred?


Someone in this thread once said the little ghost wisps coming from their mouths was supposed to indicate that it was cold. I accepted it at the time, but it's now mid-April, there's green grass on the ground, and there's still ghost wisps coming from their mouths. So it clearly isn't supposed to indicate that it's cold, so what the gently caress are they?


According to Larson he realized after this was published that the caption didn't add anything to the cartoon and kind of regrets putting it there.

If I recall correctly from the last time this story came around, the answer to that will soon be revealed.

Yeah but to be fair Mikko is like, what, 3 years old? I guess maybe 4-5 if school is being talked about? Sari isn't much older, Mikko could have very easily picked a horrible and dangerous hiding spot.

I agree that Anja's being a terrible mother, but I'm just as :wtc:-ing at Sulo and Anni being just as horrible here. They see where Mikko's hiding and their first thought is to be happy they can keep him for a while longer, not immediately return him to the distraught mother. gently caress, Anja hasn't been gone for more than a few minutes, they could still totally catch her if they want to. I don't know if the characters were always meant to be flawed or not, but this slide to misery has painted a lot of previously charming characters into huge jerks.

The trunk of a car is actually a pretty dangerous place for a kid to hide. It has poor ventilation and can get to high temperatures which can result in heatstroke, especially with the comic showing us it's a sunny day. The comic's also been published in 1991, so it's not yet a standard feature for vehicles to have a glow-in-the-dark car trunk release. Depending on how long he's been hidden in there, Mikko being asleep in the trunk could be a serious warning sign.

I have no idea how old he is supposed to be, I was thinking 5-6

He's been in there all of 10 minutes maybe, if even that. He left Anja's yard, went over there, told whatsherface to relate the message when they came around. It hasn't been long.

Anja set it up all along. Talked about it when the boy was around about what could go wrong.

“Now son you better be ready to in the morning. No hiding! Or I might have to leave you behind hahaha wouldn’t that be funny. You’d have to stay with your uncle and auntie hahah”


Either way she’s a horrible mother.
