The strip is particularly notable in that the characters age over time, albeit not in real time.
Some storylines center on other characters, including her older brother Brad. Luann takes place in an unnamed suburban setting, and primarily focuses on young adult Luann DeGroot dealing with school, her love interests, family, and friends. In 2012, Greg Evans' daughter Karen Evans began co-authoring the strip. The strip is currently syndicated by Andrews McMeel Syndication. Luann is a syndicated newspaper comic strip written and drawn by Greg Evans and launched by North America Syndicate on March 17, 1985. Universal Uclick/ Andrews McMeel Syndication (2011–present) North America Syndicate/ King Features Syndicate (1985–1996) So for readers who haven't checked the strip out in a while, it's kind of odd to see Luann now basically an adult woman, and well past her gawky young teen years.The main cast of Luann, as depicted in a Christmas (December 25, 2001) comic strip (from left to right): Tiffany Farrell, Aaron Hill, Gunther Berger, Delta James, Bernice Halper, Luann DeGroot, Nancy DeGroot, Frank DeGroot, Brad DeGroot, Knute, Crystal, and Puddles. Even earlier, Aaron Hill, the guy that Luann had been crushing on for YEARS in the strip, moved to Hawaii and has been out of the strip for nearly 20 years. She went to Howard University and has basically vanished from the strip. Another fascinating side effect of the aging of the characters is that, just like real life, some major long-term characters have been completely written out of the strip, like Delta James, one of Luann's oldest friends.

I wouldn't say that there were LOTS of lingerie jokes out of nowhere, but, well, I wouldn't say that there WEREN'T a lot of lingerie jokes out of nowhere, either.Įvans' daughter, Karen, began to co-write the series with him in 2012. The weird thing about the strip having everyone get older is that this necessarily means that Brad is now a full-fledged adult, and so suddenly, there are, like, sex jokes. Brad eventually met and married Toni, a fellow firefighter. Evans began to devote a good deal of the strip to Brad (not that he didn't give Brad plots, of course, but now Brad was taking up a LOT of the plots). He had to train to get into shape to do the job, and so his character, who was always a bit of a slacker, was now a fit guy. Following 9/11, Brad was inspired to become a firefighter. The biggest change in the strip, by far, has been her jerky older brother, Brad. So Luann graduated from high school in 2014, and currently, she is a young woman in community college. However, after 14 years, Evans decided to mix things up, and began to allow Luann and everyone else in the strip age. The strips followed just sort of general 13-year-old girl plots, involving her crushes, her big brother picking on her, her parents trying to get her to clean up her room, just pretty universal things. Luann was about 13 years old when the strip began. Luann is a comic strip that was launched by Greg Evans in 1985, following the life of Luann DeGroot and her friends and family.
