Luann (Comic Strip)	comment	Created in 1985 by Greg Evans, Luann is a comic strip about the life of Luann DeGroot, a typical high school student, with her trials and tribulations. She has typical parents, a lazy, annoying older brother named Brad, and her best friends nerdy Bernice and Delta. Her main rival is Tiffany the cheerleader, and the men in her life are nerdy Gunther and handsome Aaron Hill (and his Suspiciously Similar Substitutes).Sometimes funny, and occasionally poignant, it's known for capitalizing on current trends, and dropping Anvilicious subplots about various subjects (e.g. marijuana use) in an attempt to be modern and legitimate. Most of the characters seem to exist as two-dimensional archetypes, with rare glimpses into more aspects of their personalities, so you will find a lot of tropes in here played totally straight (though Tropes Are Not Bad). It also gained a new focus, as lazy brother Brad shifted into becoming a co-main character of sorts, gaining nearly as much page time as his sister thanks to a subplot where he joins a fire department and falls for the beautiful Toni Daytona. Since the strip's early days, Luann's idealized crush Aaron has left the strip entirely, while Bernice, Gunther and Tiffany were later promoted to viewpoint characters as well.Has a rudimentary character page.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_14410deb	comment	Since 2015 Bernice has surpassed Luann herself as the primary viewpoint character of the strip: even storyarcs that start with Luann as the focus tend to shift over to Bernice's viewpoint by the end. Odd for a character so underdeveloped that her own home life and parents have never been seen, as her primary function in high school had been to serve as a snarky sounding board for Luann's various problems (though the "unseen home life" problem was solved in 2020 by having her move in with the Degroots).

Which is, of course, pretty accurate for a lot of teenagers.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_161f1ebf	comment	Relationship Upgrade: Brad crushed openly on Toni Daytona upon meeting her, but couldn't win her away from her then jerky boyfriend, Dirk. It would take years of storylines for them to eventually start dating once she lost Dirk. It took longer still for them to get more than a handful of playful kisses. Finally, Toni admitted she loves Brad, and a few strips made it relatively obvious they were sexually active. Thanks to a surprise run in by Toni with a reformed Dirk, she has finally accepted Brad's marriage proposal. Luann and Quill, who had put off having a relationship for years (in real-time) in fear that he'd suddenly have to move back to Australia. Guess what happened next (literally right after they had their first kiss together): Quill's father calls to say that they're moving back, and he has to come home immediately as they only have a short time to pack. Though he eventually returned and they resumed their relationship until breaking up on Valentine's Day 2016.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_184e7708	comment	Hands-Off Parenting: The DeGroots towards Luann. About the only time they deign to notice her presence is when she does something to displease them. Especially glaring in light of how Nancy is obsessed with keeping Brad from going to first base. However; whenever there's a major decision such as getting a car or a house, they are there. One strip that's Played for Laughs has Luann ground herself because she knows she did something wrong. They were even worse in the strip's early days as they weren't even actual characters, just voices from off-panel yelling at Luann for one reason or another (forgetting to do a chore, talking too long on the phone, etc.). TJ appears to have somewhere between this and Parental Abandonment. Brad and Toni's approach to raising Shannon is to basically sit back and watch her do whatever she wants. No matter what she does, they never admonish or discipline her.

They were in high school since 1985, and as of September 2014 they finally hit college. However, the seasons within the strip (as well as the events within) have kept pace with the real world, so the characters have dozens of stories about the school year beginning or ending without them actually advancing to the next grade level.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_22a27b19	comment	Tiffany in high school was a complete Alpha Bitch. Yet there were moments where she actually does appear to be nice to others. Among these include helping Gunther with his design, trying to hook up a couple teachers together for the heck of it, and later on, volunteering to help pay for Delta to go on the class trip to D.C. In the case of the latter, she agrees to let people dunk her so they can see her wet, but leaves because the water is "too cold", essentially sabotaging the fundraiser. (No one points out this was actually Luann and Bernice's fault, as they filled the tank with cold water instead of heating it like Tiffany had asked). A few strips later, she walks back in having found another option to pay for it, while stating she felt guilty.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_23698fa8	type	Aborted Arc
Luann (Comic Strip) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: The storyline where Aaron was hiding his relationship with Diane was supposed to be Aaron and another boy. Evans bailed out, fearing too great a backlash and not having the subscriber base Lynn Johnston had to pull the same thing off without a significant loss in readership. After Aaron was put on a plane to Hawaii, the strip signaled his reunion with Luann in a storyline where she wins a contest flight to Hawaii. What happens when she reunites with Aaron there? She sees him once with another girl, doesn't even bother to confirm she's his girlfriend, and then doesn't speak to him again after that. Aaron's return was teased again with a strip where he sends Luann a Myspace friend request and a message suggesting he's single now, but nothing came of it after that. The entire situation with Ben York, Bernice's long-lost brother. Luann had a crush on him and Bernice was jealous of the attention (because her own feelings towards him were rather complicated). At one point Luann planned to make a special Valentine's Day dinner for him, but he called her saying he couldn't come because he was going out of town. And then his entire character just disappeared completely, not returning until a 2020 story arc saw him move in with his birth parents while Bernice moved into Brad's old room in the DeGroot house. There was a storyarc where Brad and TJ make some alterations to their home without consulting Frank (the owner). Frank finds out and tells them off, warning them that they are to seek his permission before doing any alterations, so Frank can ensure they are "done right." A year later Brad and TJ decide to add a whole new room to the house, but Frank's admonition is never mentioned, the boys once again don't tell him, and the work is so shoddy it has to be redone by professionals (which was the exact reason Frank wanted to be informed in the first place). To date there has been no mention of whether or not Frank found out Brad and TJ disobeyed him again; it's as if the whole telling-off never happened in the first place. The unrequited Love Dodecahedron between Tiffany, Gunther, Bernice, and Piro (who was strongly implied, but never outright stated, to be homeless) fizzled out without going much of anywhere; Gunther hooking up with Bets has cooled Tiffany's interest in him and his interest in Bernice, while Piro disappeared from the strip until re-surfacing in 2022 as a creative writing classmate of Luann's. Stef's interest in getting Ox and Tiffany together stopped as soon as it started, with Tiffany giving the lame excuse of "not being interested in dating right now". This didn't stop her from trying to seduce Kip later on. The supposed break-in at Tiffany's mansion has been forgotten about, with any attempts to continue it being ignored in favor of Tiffany being obsessed with trying to seduce Kip.

However, Luann comes to realise that if the rest of the family had insisted on doing something that caused her constant misery, she'd have been furious at the injustice. She therefore gives the cat away.

Then when Prudence offered to work there for free, he still wanted to charge her rent for living in his house. On the other hand he's perfectly happy to spend others' money. When his dishwasher Les asked him to a business dinner to discuss how to expand The Fuse, not only did he not offer to pay for dinner as the owner/employer (which could then be written off as a business expense), he invited his entire family to the dinner and ended up spending $300 of his own employee's money.

Since then, they've mainly been a vehicle for keeping Shannon in the strip (they spend so much time watching her that she has her own bedroom). With so many supporting characters having story arcs of their own, Luann herself has disappeared from the non-Sunday strips for months at a stretch.

It's not limited to his own family members either: upon meeting Nancy and Pru for the first time (and finding out that Nancy's son was engaged to Toni), he immediately left Shannon with them and hightailed it out the door with the excuse that "Toni will pick her up in a few hours."

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_5abe161f	comment	Flawless Token: Delta, the only black cast member, is of course one of the smartest and most level-headed of the entire group. In a cast where every other character has a swack of flaws, she only has the flaw of being a workaholic perfectionist. It landed her in the hospital once, but is pretty much the kind of "fake insult" someone would give at a job interview. Her friends think she's too much of a goody two-shoes, though, and preachy to boot. Whether we're supposed to agree with them or not is not clear. Evans has since admitted that Delta's lack of flaws made her too hard to write for, and so she eventually left the strip. Zane, the only disabled character in the strip to date, was similarly mature, high-minded, moral and positive. The closest he came to human frailty was being in a bad mood over his disability, once. Pru, the only gay character, was even more perfect than Delta. At least Delta could be a bit self-righteous, while Pru was defined solely by being the perfect bubbly, friendly, all-around wonderful human being. Averted with Bets. Not only does she have flaws, she isn't written to just be the black character.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_668d2146	comment	Progressively Prettier: Brad, originally very cartoonish and round (though not as much as his father), shifted to a slightly-more in-shape character with a less comically-round head (ie. he has a jawline!). Part of this is also in-character, as Brad got in better shape and cleaned up once he decided to become a firefighter. Many female characters went through the Art Evolution by gaining thinner physiques with feminine curves (instead of portly cartoonish bodies), such as Luann and her mom.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_6ca72c26	comment	All Take and No Give: Toni Daytona's brother Jonah treats her as an on-call free daycare, to the point of demanding that she reschedule any commitments that might prevent her from watching Shannon (including preparations for her own wedding). When Toni finally tried to refuse, stating that Jonah needed to take some responsibility for his own life, he replied that he would have an easier time doing so if he had ever received any help from her. It's not limited to his own family members either: upon meeting Nancy and Pru for the first time (and finding out that Nancy's son was engaged to Toni), he immediately left Shannon with them and hightailed it out the door with the excuse that "Toni will pick her up in a few hours." Stef's other roommates bend over backwards for her constantly. She kept inconveniencing them by wanting to have sex with her boyfriend in the dorm, so they partitioned off a special area for someone wanting privacy. Then she got upset that others wanted to use the area too, so they gave it to her for her sole use. Eventually she started demanding that one of them give her $600 so she could attend a cheer camp, and finally Dez complied. Stef never reciprocates this treatment though, and even blatantly fat-shamed Dez the next time she saw her.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_754df088	type	Put on a Bus
Luann (Comic Strip) / int_754df088	comment	Put on a Bus: Aaron Hill, a rare major character example, having moved away, once the love triangle story got tired. Odd for such a major part of the strip. It also happens to a lot of the replacements for Aaron over the years, as various new love interests show up, allow Luann to obsess over them for a while, and then vanish. A few other characters like Zane, Elwood and Fay have vanished without a trace after a particular storyline focusing on them has ended. In a move that no one (everyone) predicted, Quill had to suddenly move back to Australia as soon as he and Luann decided to start a real relationship and stop worrying about him suddenly moving back to Australia. And then Luann's dad had to be a massive jerk and rub it in with Australia jokes not even an hour after Quill's plane left. In a move that no one really did predict, Quill continued to court Luann over cellphones and laptops, and he eventually returned to keep up his relationship with Luann, moving in with Gunther and his mom. Quill is Put Back on The Bus after his breakup with Luann on Valentine's Day 2016. Delta went off to attend college in the east and hasn't been seen or mentioned since November 2014. Bernice spent months (in-universe) obsessing over the handsome Piro, even going so far as to abuse her position as RA in order to dig up information about him. Then he finally kisses her, but Bernice admits to her roommate the next day that she felt no "sparks" from it, and we haven't seen or heard anything from Piro since. Piro has returned, and is now in the middle of a love triangle with Luann and Bernice. Crystal and Knute were Demoted to Extra after high school, and eventually stopped appearing in the strip altogether. Prudence spends a few years making sporadic appearances in the strip after Quill's departure, but then finally decides to move back to New York in April 2020. Shannon's dad disappeared, leaving her to be raised by Brad and Toni. Bets broke up with Gunther and quit school to go on a road trip indefinitely. She ended up returning a few months later, moving right back into her old dorm room as if nothing had happened.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_76a5eaf8	type	Spotlight-Stealing Squad
Luann (Comic Strip) / int_76a5eaf8	comment	Spotlight-Stealing Squad: After 2001, Brad started playing a much more major role in the strip, leading to several case(s) wherein weeks would pass and the titular character doesn't even appear. However, the Brad shown after 2000 is NOT the same Brad seen in the 80s and 90s. Granted, Brad-centric arc(s) had existed before the 00s, but they became much more common after Brad started training to be a firefighter. After he got married and thus concluded his Will They or Won't They? with Toni, that changed. Shannon has since inherited the position from him, dominating every storyarc featuring Brad and Toni, and even frequently appearing in Luann's home (presumably being babysat by her, but an explanation is rarely given for her presence). Since 2015 Bernice has surpassed Luann herself as the primary viewpoint character of the strip: even storyarcs that start with Luann as the focus tend to shift over to Bernice's viewpoint by the end. Odd for a character so underdeveloped that her own home life and parents have never been seen, as her primary function in high school had been to serve as a snarky sounding board for Luann's various problems (though the "unseen home life" problem was solved in 2020 by having her move in with the Degroots). Tiffany gained more focus after her Character Development in college, even having longer story arcs focusing on her.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_835d1cd2	comment	Satellite Love Interest: Aaron Hill, who often shows little physical attraction in anyone. Which is odd, because there was a really weird story arc the end of which revealed that the "Gunther" Luann had spent most of the arc interacting with had been Aaron in disguise (possibly collaborating with the real Gunther — it was years ago) in an effort to get Luann to think past physical appearances now and again. Rather than cottoning to the lesson, Luann asked to "try on Gunther" (Aaron's mask). An Enforced Trope in the case of Quill. He started out as even blander than Aaron, with his main personality traits being that he was handsome... and Australian. He ended up developing a passion for theater, but then Luann dumped him for focusing too much on his career instead of her. Both of Berniceâ€™s major love interests, Zane and Piro.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_88cee6e2	comment	Luann towards Gunther in middle/high school. She considered him an Abhorrent Admirer, disparaging him to her friends as "the creepiest guy in school" multiple times. That is until it looked like he got the message and would move on, at which point she realized she'd lose her only admirer and the ego boost that came with it. Then she'd start doing whatever it took to make Gunther think he still had a shot with her. Once his attention was back on her she would resume treating him like an annoyance.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: In 2021 we got some new attempts to move Luann's long-term story arc forward. This required undoing much of the characterization previously in effect since Luann and her classmates graduated from high school and entered a new perpetual 19-year-old status quo in 2014. Instead of working a few hours a week at a day care because otherwise she would just be hanging around the house as an unemployed adult for most of the time, Luann now always has been planning a career in teaching and was gaining significant income and experience from working nearly full-time. Instead of being generally unimpressive as a student and somewhat left behind by friends like Delta and Gunther who were more gifted academically (which was originally the whole reason she is a part-time community college student while all her peers among the main cast went to university), Luann is now a teacher's pet who tutors English and is a TA in her art class. Shannon was originally introduced as the older cousin of Lindy, a toddler that Luann babysat in middle school. After Toni was introduced, Shannon re-entered the comic as her niece, with no mention of Lindy. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it one for Tiffany. One very early strip had Delta mention Tiffany's parents. Years later Tiffany is only shown living with her father, with no mention of all at having a mother. As noted in the Un-person entry, when Bernice moved into the Degroot house in 2020 Frank mentioned how strange it was having a woman unrelated to him living in the house now, somehow ignoring the fact that he'd just spent the last 5 years with Prudence (a woman also not related to him) living in the exact same room. In a follow-up strip Luann even acts like the room had been completely unused (and not even cleaned up) since Brad originally vacated it, officially wiping Pru's entire stay from existence. Notable in that the retcon was a mere 3 months after Pru exited the strip, meaning she was still fairly fresh in readers' minds. Tiffany's inability to swim, brought up as a throwaway line during the dunk tank fundraiser, was forgotten about and officially retconned in Summer 2023, with Tiffany and Luann talking about her as if she could swim.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_b58c51d8	comment	My Beloved Smother: Nancy towards Brad (but really only where Toni is involved); she won't let him stay over at Toni's house, seemingly rejecting his relationship growth when she was egging him on before, and tried to keep Brad from her at first because she saw Toni as a "bad girl". When Brad hosted Thanksgiving at his and TJ's place Nancy was very chilly towards Toni but immediately warms up to Quill, Luann's handsome "date". Her husband quickly calls her out on her behavior. We could make the point that she simply doesn't like Toni because of all of her baggage (Dirk is a massively violent person, and seems quite able to gut Brad like a fish) and the mind games she played on Brad before they became a couple.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_bb18a227	comment	Crystal and Tiffany's friendship consists mainly of Crystal making sarcastic and/or insulting comments in response to whatever Tiffany is talking about at the moment. To be fair though, Tiffany seems to use Crystal only as a sounding board for her own problems, never once showing interest in what may be happening in her best friend's life. However, one comic shows that Crystal and Tiffany actually have moments of supporting and complimenting each other, contrasted with Bernice constantly cutting down Luann's confidence. Though it should be noted that Luann and Bernice have remained friends even while attending different colleges, with Bernice eventually moving into Luannâ€™s house. Meanwhile, Crystal and Tiffany (whose school situation mirrored Bernice and Luann) eventually drifted apart after high school.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_bb23703	comment	Jerkass to One: Bernice is generally polite and friendly (albeit a bit of a wet blanket) to most people. But to her supposed best friend Luann it's a different story. There is almost nothing Luann can say in Bernice's presence that isn't met with a snide remark or passive-aggressive putdown, to the point where Luann's already tenuous self-confidence has been shattered numerous times merely by confiding in Bernice. This trait wasn't so pronounced in the strip's early days, making it appear to longtime readers that Bernice's patience with Luann simply ran out over the years, and now they stay friends mostly out of habit. Luann is this to Tiffany, as noted below in Slut-Shaming. Practically every sentence out of her mouth when talking about Tiffany is how she's a bad person for having dated a lot of guys. This continued even after Tiffany underwent Character Development. Both Bernice and Luann were this for Tiffany in high school. On the rare occasions she wasn't mean to Luann and Bernice, they still bullied her. Brad and Toni are this to Luann when Shannon is involved. Toni even admitted to Luann that they leave Shannon with her because they don't want to deal with her.

She's tall, thin, pouty-lipped and droopy-eyed beyond every other character, and Brad until recently has been a cartoonishly pudgy guy with a big round head and "scribble hair". Actually gender-switched with Luann and Aaron Hill slightly, as she more resembles the males in terms of cartoonish features for the most part (unless she dolls herself up), and he's a stereotypical dewey, flaxen-haired teen idol look-alike.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_c972d624	comment	Slut-Shaming: Tiffany tends to get this from Luann a lot; the go-to insult is some variation on "Tiffany is dating the entire football team." Interestingly enough, Tiffany has less sexual experience than Luann or any of her friends; she's never had a boyfriend or even properly kissed anyone (she gave one person a quick peck on the mouth and another a peck on the cheek, but that's it). Doesn't stop Luann from constantly implying that Tiffany is the village bicycle though, even after Tiffany receives some Character Development and becomes friendlier with the main characters. Since the 2014 status quo reset, this aspect has largely been dropped; not only is every character except Luann herself note as well as Bernice, as confirmed by this strip where she says that "I would never go there" when she feels that she's being suspected of having sex. sexually active, it's treated pretty much exactly as people in the real 21st-century world would react to adult college students having sex with their monogamous romantic partners - in other words, as fully expected and usually unremarkable. The "perpetual virgin Luann" stuff is still going on indefinitely though: unlike everyone else, she treated the idea of Gunther and his girlfriend Bets being sexually active as a huge scandal, and started asking around behind his back to try and confirm if it was actually happening. Most of the people she asked failed to see why it was such a huge deal (while Gunther himself was annoyed at Luann's invasion of his privacy). Emotionally, Luann is still basically a 1950s "boy crazy" 12-year-old who spends all her waking time obsessed with the abstract idea of making every male she meets into her boyfriend, but rarely dates and never would even consider having sex. Juxtaposing this with everyone else in the strip being a realistic 21st-century adult has made her character even more jarringly weird than it was before.

Tiffany throws herself at every guy with a pulse, but when it comes to Ox's crush on her, suddenly she "isn't interested in dating." Though this could be because Stef was the one who wanted to get them together, and Tiffany just didn't want her interfering in her life. She hasn't said anything to Ox herself though.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_da0eeab5	comment	Breakout Character: Brad had his own storylines occasionally, but was more often seen through Luann's eyes as an annoying older brother. By the time of the "Firefighter/Toni Daytona" storyline, Brad had basically earned equal footing to his sister in the strip, with a whole new supporting cast to play with. Once Tiffany stopped being simply Luann's Alpha Bitch rival and became a viewpoint character in her own right, she exploded in popularity. Nowadays it's not unusual for the strip to spend several weeks following her story, with scarcely an appearance from Luann herself.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_db2f3581	comment	All Girls Want Bad Boys: Frequently discussed, with female characters often lamenting that all nice guys are painfully dull but all exciting guys turn out to be jerks. The justification given for Toni's continued relationship with the blatantly terrible Dirk. He was muscular, but rude, nasty and disrespectful. She does claim that the same passionate nature that makes him act like a jerk when angry also makes him a lot of fun to be around when he's in a good mood, but the reader never gets to see that side of him. Oddly enough, averted with Les. He's a complete jerk, yet has never had a girlfriend. His dates always end badly, and his Ship Tease with Tiffany never went anywhere. Utterly (and finally) averted, as both Brad and Gunther are in long-term relationships with Toni and Bets, respectively.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: The art style in the strip has changed a lot since 1985. The characters debuted with huge heads and tiny, pudgy bodies, and maintained these cartoonish proportions for the first decade of the strip. In the second decade, they started to evolve towards more realistic proportions. Frank is probably the closest to his old look, but Luann and Brad are almost unrecognizable. The banner for the comic at GoComics shows the evolution of Luann's appearance over the years. The author will also occasionally draw characters in their older designs for flashbacks. Delta was consistently seen with sunglasses and a huge smile on her face in the early years — she is similarly unrecognizable. Defied with Puddles the dog, whose look hasn't changed at all since his introduction. Animals in the strip have gotten more realistic-looking as the time has gone on, but Puddles still maintains his original design of "a football with legs." This becomes more jarring when other characters bring their more accurately-designed pets to meet him.

Bernice especially does this to wheelchair-bound Zane, freaking out if he so much as talks to another girl, and asking him to marry her while she was still in high school. Bernice to her brother, which some critics chalk up to the strange "attraction" that occasionally develops between long-lost parents and children (basically you want to love the long-lost person as family, but since you just met and never knew each other that way you're stuck with romantic love). Luann ends up getting this way with Quill once his old friend Pru moves to their town, to the point where her jealousy contributes to their breakup. Luann didn't find out until too late that Pru and Quill never felt that way about each other in the first place.

She would say something that could be construed as flirty, making him obsess over it, and then turn it to something more innocent several times. During her relationship with Dirk, she made both of them think she "might" be interested in Brad as something more than a pal. "Is she kissing me or Santa?" Luann towards Gunther in middle/high school. She considered him an Abhorrent Admirer, disparaging him to her friends as "the creepiest guy in school" multiple times. That is until it looked like he got the message and would move on, at which point she realized she'd lose her only admirer and the ego boost that came with it. Then she'd start doing whatever it took to make Gunther think he still had a shot with her. Once his attention was back on her she would resume treating him like an annoyance. Bernice towards Piro. At first she was a Stalker with a Crush, abusing her authority as dorm RA to manipulate him into liking her (as opposed to simply telling him how she felt.) The second he returned her affections she ghosted him, saying she didn't feel any sparks. Then years later she saw him do a public reading of a story he'd written about how much she meant to him, at which point she engaged in a heartfelt reunion with him. Afterwards, he sent (through Luann, who was in his creative writing class with him) a letter pleading to meet up and talk, to which she didn't respond. It was only after she saw Tara and Luann competing over his attention that she went up to him and began dropping not-so-subtle hints that he should be spending time with her instead. Only time will tell how it ends.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_fdbd6162	comment	With Friends Like These...: Luann occasionally enters into this territory with Bernice and Delta (especially Bernice, who usually gets the last word). Bernice is definitely this to Luann, never once saying a nice thing about her. Crystal and Tiffany's friendship consists mainly of Crystal making sarcastic and/or insulting comments in response to whatever Tiffany is talking about at the moment. To be fair though, Tiffany seems to use Crystal only as a sounding board for her own problems, never once showing interest in what may be happening in her best friend's life. However, one comic shows that Crystal and Tiffany actually have moments of supporting and complimenting each other, contrasted with Bernice constantly cutting down Luann's confidence. Though it should be noted that Luann and Bernice have remained friends even while attending different colleges, with Bernice eventually moving into Luannâ€™s house. Meanwhile, Crystal and Tiffany (whose school situation mirrored Bernice and Luann) eventually drifted apart after high school.

Luann (Comic Strip) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Tiffany in high school was a complete Alpha Bitch. Yet there were moments where she actually does appear to be nice to others. Among these include helping Gunther with his design, trying to hook up a couple teachers together for the heck of it, and later on, volunteering to help pay for Delta to go on the class trip to D.C. In the case of the latter, she agrees to let people dunk her so they can see her wet, but leaves because the water is "too cold", essentially sabotaging the fundraiser. (No one points out this was actually Luann and Bernice's fault, as they filled the tank with cold water instead of heating it like Tiffany had asked). A few strips later, she walks back in having found another option to pay for it, while stating she felt guilty. Dirk even gets one. Stef trying to get Ox and Tiffany to hook up. Luann and Bernice trying to convince Tiffany to stop attempting to seduce Kip is this, considering how they usually treat her.
