Sooo cute

This is one the best Luann books. It addresses issues that adolescents go through with refreshing humor. I like how Brad constantly makes fun of Luann and Luann's never-ending boycraziness. I know that my friends sometimes can't stand it when I go on and on about men. I enjoyed this book, however the "connection" between Luann and Stuart never got resolved. It seemed as though he just disappeared. Still worth the read.

Luann needs fans!

Luann has been around for the amount of years that her now age is! the 16 year old is by far the greatest comic to be made, okay actualy peanuts is, but that's hard to top! we need fans to buy luann so creator, greg evans can release more editions and allow us to see her grow up from 1985 to now. if you havent purchased luann: the plunge please do, and if u have please purchase "passion, outrage, betrayal!"

A ugly duckling suddenly turned into a sexy swan princess

Back in the old days, Luann used to be a grubby little kid who's always tripping over her own feet at a junior high school. She would moan and whine about the lack of a boyfriend, her zits, her weight, her looks, and her annoying baboon-like older brother to her best friend, who herself was once a nerd with big owlish eyeglasses and blahy hair. And then through more than a decade of really zany adolescent adventures with shopping sprees, makeovers, sleepovers, drug-busting, cheerleading tryouts, catfights with Tiffany the Miss Perfect, dating the school geek, losing swimsuit bras in a public pool, and nearly losing a friend to cancer, we gradually grew to truly sympathize with the poor self-conscious little "born loser" feverishly struggling and clawing her way through puberty, school, and self-image. Then - all of a sudden, Luann blooms into a very pretty, busty 16-year-old blonde bombshell with a very nice figure and a rather overzealous self-confidence. Now that she's finally in high school, she at last has a job, a real boyfriend, and...about to get a driver's license so she can get around more freely. Therefore - maybe it's time to RETIRE the strip altogether now that Luann is nearly a Miss Perfect herself. At least her overweight, less-than-ideal bro is still his funny old Oreo-chomping self after all. Nice simple cartoony drawings that most teens can relate to.

Forget the dailies, buy this!

Can a comic strip be too good? Once you see these stories put together, and see the art enlarged, and spend some time with the characters, it's clear that this is maybe the best strip of our time. Unlike most other strips, you can read this again and again and it just keeps getting better.
