I'm on Mary's side here, that stuff's nasty

Luann, 2/24/25

It's been fun ("fun") revisiting Luann for the first time in years and figuring out what's changed (there are some new characters I guess) and what's stayed the same (literally all the vibes and various plot cycles). Like, Luann is still falling for bland guys named "Phil" or whatever and losing her shit over performing basic social interactions. I do enjoy that Bernice is also still in her typical role, as the one to say "YES LUANN NOW THAT YOU'RE CHANGING THE NATURE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS GUY NAMED 'PHIL' OR WHATEVER THE STAKES ARE HIGHER AND THAT'S CAUSING HEIGHTENED ANXIETY, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, IS THIS NOT OBVIOUS TO YOU????" I find it soothing in the way that comics are quite frankly supposed to be.
