Fraught greetings

Luann, 4/6/26

So at some point in the long stretch when I was demonstrating self-care and not reading Luann, there was some kind of romantic/emotional entanglement between Bernice and a guy named "Piro," which I have learned about peripherally but have never sought out further details on. I guess the fool's paradise I've been living in ends today, though, and I'll soon be learning more than I ever wanted to know. For today I mostly just wanted to point out that the Luann brain trust apparently decided to start a plot with a booty call text, learned that "u up?" is a popular format for such a message, and couldn't bring themselves to introduce such a barbarism in their comic, so they did the best they could with it.
