Can TJ and Brad actually be that clueless? "Uninhabited resort"? That
doesn't even make sense. No wonder Toni is royally pissed.

Can anybody explain why the "Luann" in my L A Times yesterday and today is
about Luann getting a tattoo? I went to latimes.com to try and post the
actual strip but can't locate comics on the site. You'll have to take my
word for it...

I suppose that ``uninhabited'' could be a plausible reading
if you look at it briefly and are thinking of a place that's far from
any cities, towns, villages, or cheeseburgers. It would take a bit
of density to not notice the mention of not needing clothing.
Also, didn't Brad just spend two thousand dollars to be in the
calendar? I grant he seems to have a cheap lifestyle, and he isn't, I
guess, paying rent the last few months but hasn't he got a budget?

Either the editors objected to this week's arc or Zell told 'em to
recycle.

Have we ever been able to tell anything about Toni's feelings? She's
always been as much a mystery to the readers as she has to Brad.

Hell, *she* might not really know.

Actually, now that I think about it, this may be the author's call. The
Times is "auditioning" several strips as possible replacements for FBOFW,
and Luann is just wrapping up its 6 week trial run. They might be trying to
keep it as family-friendly as possible to improve their chances of being
picked up permanently. Although right now I'm planning to vote for "Between
Friends."
BTW, I agree with you about the Puritanism. I'm about to celebrate the 1
year anniversary of my retirement from there, in the advertising department,
and you wouldn't believe the restrictions put on the ads. Or maybe you
would. 8^)

I don't think so. She KNOWS Brad is a clueless dolt at romantic stuff by
this point, but she also knows he is as harmless and well-meaning as a
klutzy puppy. She still hangs out with him, for the ego-stroking if
nothing else. IOW, she knows it was an innocent mistake.
But isn't this about the Nth replay of the 'inappropriate gift' arc,
that started with the negligee given to neighbor girl Dianne, about 6-7
resets ago? (and now that I think about it, was Diane maybe the
prototype for Toni?)

Brad that clueless? Signs (sadly) point to "yes". My next paycheck
says TJ knew about that little "detail" and intentionally didn't tell
Brad. (Why Brad didn't read up on this place himself? What fun is a
Brad that learns from his mistakes? 9_9)

Actually, they're doing a test run for a replacement for FBOFW, so
instead of the regular run, it's a "sampler" . . .

Not according to today's strip. TJ was surprised to hear that it was a
clothing optional resort and expected extra big glitterly thanks from Brad
for unknowingly setting up such a "wonderful" situation.

To which I say a great big "Bullshit".
Of course, I'm still having a hard time wondering how Brad could order
tickets to this place and *not* stumble upon this info.

He's been ethnically flexible for quite some time. I'm not sure if it is
on purpose or the fault of colorizers looking for something to colorize.

But Delta has been of the cross-hatched persuasion since the
beginning, yes? Granted, TJ appeared after the Great Awakening, in
which people's eyes became smaller and their other features finer as
well, but still, even after Delta went from cross-hatched to shaded
in, TJ remained untouched.
Maybe he's got Reverse Jacko Syndrome.

TJ seems more white in the B&W version. But whenever I pick up a
paper with the colorized Luann, the impression I get is that TJ is
definitely not exclusively of caucasian heritage.

He's Officer's Jackson's ("Stoen Soup") nephew.
Actually, I think they're trying to make TJ appear Latino.
