Hello Friend, Another year is wrapping up and we hope you and yours are wrapped in love, joy, and kindness. Here in the Evans family, we are celebrating time together and appreciating cozy things like fuzzy blankets, naps, and crosswords by the fireplace. And enjoying all the amazing décor thanks to the talented Betty! Speaking of crosswords, how did you do with the seasonal stumper from December 29th? Did you get a laugh trying to read those clues out loud? We hope so! If you want to check…
Hello Friend, What a whirlwind my life has been coming into the end of the year! I’m sorry that I never did get to send a November newsletter but I hope each of you know how thankful we are for our wonderful LUANN fans. And I hope the year is bringing you a bit of peace and joy as we head into 2024. Enjoy a few restful thank you treats below; we look forward to sharing another year of silly, sassy, serious, sarcastic, and sometimes absurd fun with you! Merry happy joyful and jolly! ~Karen,…
Hello Friend, What are we thankful for this year? YOU! We are grateful we get to do what we do and, we hope, that we can bring a little joy into the world each day. Of course, spending the Thanksgiving holiday with our loved ones and sharing a delicious meal (plus leftovers!) leaves us very thankFULL too. While the DeGroot family shared Thanksgiving with Mrs. Horner this week, the Evans family got to swapping old family photos and funny stories. Check out a few “hidden talent” photos below…
Fall is one of my favorite seasons after the long hot summers of southern California. But many of my friends are mourning the loss of those sunny summer days. Everyone has their own opinion! Speaking of, we don’t often read the comments on LuannComic.com but are very aware that no storyline, single strip, or character will please everyone…not even Punk, the cat! Commenters will both celebrate and bemoan any given storyline that starts, continues, ends, or returns. Which got us wondering: do…
Hello Friend, Can you believe it is September? Where did summer go? For us it was Comic Con and hosting a family wedding and then the annual Reuben Awards which is a like the Oscars of cartooning. Planning and prepping for all that made time a blur and left us a bit blurry. But what better ways to spend our time than with people and peers we love? Greg, Betty, and Karen at the 78th Annual Reuben Awards Thanks to everyone who shared their summer plans in the last newsletter—we share your…
Hello Friend, Ah, the dreamy, lazy days of summer. At least they are when you’re too young to work all summer. But then you’re too young to afford to do anything all summer. And if you’re too young to even drive…well, what DO you do with your love of summer much less actual love? We’ve collected a fresh medley of Sunday strips from over the years that touch on summer, love, and our personal summer tradition: a bit of San Diego Comic Con! Until next time, ~Karen and Greg Evans Read the…
Hello Friend, Summer solstice was a few days ago but personally we have yet to feel the “lazy days” of summer kick in. How about you? Anyone enjoying time in a hammock or lounging on the beach? Perhaps running through sprinklers or taking a leisurely picnic somewhere? While we haven’t enjoyed any of those things (yet!) we did very much enjoy working with our friend and guest artist, Jay Fosgitt, whose work debuted this week (see it here if you’ve not caught it yet). We’ve shared how this…
Hello Friend, Although Greg and Karen only live 15 minutes away from each other, the majority of LUANN work happens over email. Phone calls and in person meetups generate and refine ideas, but the bulk of drafting dialog and artwork is done digitally. This means we have records of some great conversations, like a recent discussion about what makes something funny anyway? Karen thought: Humor has to be one of the most complex emotions (it is an emotion, right?). It is so subjective and…
Hello Friend, Happy LUANN-iversary! Today (March 17th) we are celebrating 39 years of LUANN. That’s 14, 245daily comics!

Thank you to each and every one of you, whether you have been a fan since day one or have found us recently. We have the BEST fans! We’re sharing a few treats for our anniversary: a special Sunday comic riddle! See the comic in your…
