Hello Friend, Ah, best friends. What would we do without them? Luann and Bernice have been best friends since elementary school. Over the 38 years of the comic strip, these two have shared laughs, insults, outrage, advice and even the occasional love interest. As we gear up for the Spring Fair in the current storyline, let’s look back at a high school story from 2005 when Bernice, Luann, and Gunther got a bit mixed up trying to go to the Spring Dance. You can see the whole featured collection…

Hello Friend, The year is marching along but this month is a fun reminder of how long LUANN fans have been a part of the strip with a flashback to Luann’s Fashion Show from 1995! If you are a daily reader of LUANN-AGAINN, where we travel back 28 years to today’s date in LUANN, you knew this week’s fashion show was coming because the characters have been preparing for it since January. What’s the scoop on this fan-generated fashion show? How many entries were mailed in? Check out the deets…
Hello Friend,We’re big believers in showing our love ALL the days of the year, but who can resist using Valentine’s as an excuse to share a little extra love? We’ve got some never-published art, some pix from our visit to the San Diego Comic Con Museum, and are thrilled (and exhausted) to announce that Karen has wrangled the tech goblins and the collection of Piro stories is fixed! YES! Apologies that only the first 4 of the 9 collections was displaying properly and please go enjoy them all…
Hello Friend,College: what a petri dish of new people and new experiences! When the core cast of LUANN characters graduated high school back in 2014 we introduced new college-era characters, not always sure who would turn out interesting enough to stick around. Despite seeming to appear and disappear mysteriously, Piro managed to stand out and stick around from 2014-2017…and has now returned in 2023! (current story starts here if you need to catch up)Who IS this guy? If you don’t remember…
Hello Friend,I began LUANN in 1985, drawing with markers on regular bond paper. I worked on a plexiglass drawing table with a light underneath so I could trace sketches. Today, I use a stylus on a digital screen. No more originals piling up in the closet.A lot has changed in 38 years. But my love of giving you LUANN every day hasn’t diminished one drop – or pixel. To all the LUANN fans who make my job a joy I send my heartfelt appreciation – and hopes for a healthy happy New Year.-Greg I…
Hello FriendFor our newer readers–is this wedding week throwing you for a loop? We will get you all caught up! For our long time fans, you may be wondering: what is with the wedding of Brad and Toni this week? Didn’t that happen in 2016?! Yes, it did! Due to an unexpected tech glitch in the distribution system, the planned storyline for this week couldn’t make it to our print or digital clients by deadline. So! We are revisiting this magical week from 2016 and will pick up with Tiffany at…
When LUANN launched in 1985, it was a dream come true. To be thriving nearly 38 years later, and now as a father-daughter team…well, we have so much to be thankful for. We are grateful to all the people who have made that dream a reality, including you, dear Friend. Thank you.~Karen and Greg Evans Being a Part of Something Bigger From Greg: I grew up wanting to be a cartoonist…but I never imagined the special ways cartooning would connect me to others:In 1985 Garry Trudeau (Doonesbury),…

Hi there, Friend!Congrats on making through last week’s Saturday cliff hanger (or floor sprawler?) If you aren’t up to date on the current story, start here!Before a strip goes to print, Greg, daughter Karen, wife Betty, and our editor all look over the art and text to catch boo-boos.
