Julet Esqu: May 6, 2007

Oh, I see. So inherent evil is passed down genetically! Now we understand *why* it's true and correct to hate people like Les and Tiff no matter what they happen to be doing at any given time. They're filthy trash who will never be any good. From birth.

Also, WHO IS ANN EIFFEL???

I did the digging so you don't have to, though you're certainly welcome to if you want to read more Luann for some reason. Here are some highlights from the collection:

I only grabbed one image from Ann's first arc because it was mostly about Bernice having a crush on her coworker Zane and Ann acting all jealous and of course it's supposed to make us all think she has a thing for Zane when really she was trying to get into Bern's sensible slacks the whole time.

That's right. That's who Ann Eiffel is. AN EVIL LESBIAN.

This story goes absolutely nowhere because some random dude just busts in on this meeting and transfers Ann to Japan or somewhere. That's literally how it's resolved.

Miss Eiffel returns like ten years later when Brad gets laid off from firefighting and gets a job at Weenie World. Guess who's his boss!!

So here we discover that Miss Eiffel is the worst and most sinister kind of lesbian, SHE'S THE KIND THAT LIKES MEN, TOO!!! As we all know, this variety of lesbian cannot be trusted because they can and will try to gently caress everybody. None of our husbands or wives are safe!!!

Toni does the right thing by standing up for her man against the Gay Menace. Unfortunately, she doesn't count on the crafty wiles of this bisexual baddie.

He quits again in like the next strip.

Then TJ decides to teach Miss Eiffel a lesson by getting a job at Weenie World just to torture her. For some reason she hires him, even though the signs were there from the beginning.

No way these sales are worth TJ's bullshit, even if he does make corporate happy. He's nothing special, just he first person in this universe to come up with the idea of the upsell. But she keeps taking him back like she owns stock in the company or something.

Posted for the slam on Shannon out of nowhere.

Anyway, I'm skipping lots of boring poo poo where they try to catch Miss Eiffel doing shady poo poo and blah blah and Ox gets introduced here, if that matters to you. Here's how we end:

You see? Those awful bisexuals. They'll try to gently caress ANYBODY.

I didn't skip any of the last four strips, by the way. It really ended that abruptly. Apparently she quit because he told her to.

Hoping we can get a whole week of Holbrook characters saying Quote Internet Of Things Quote. It's a a very elegant phrase that slips easily into his playful dialogue.

Yes, because 8 (?) year olds in 2017 know the words to showtunes from Porgy and Bess.

Boring :corsair:

story: when I was around 11 or 12, a pal and I were in the 'student activity room' at school (basically a place to house us during freetime) and were playing around with an electronic toy. One winning one of the games, this mournful little tune tinkled out of the toy, and we had no idea what it was, til our teacher sang it for us. So, yeah, a pair of 11 year olds in 181977 didn't recognise 'Summertime.' gently caress off, Gilchrist.
