Product Description
This popular, smile-a-minute strip appears in 400 newspapers worldwide. The agony of the summer job, the thrill of crushes on cute lifeguards, the excitement of the shopping mall, the terror of parents watching their children navigate life-it's all there in Dates and Other Disasters, Greg Evans's latest compilation of insightful humor.Nominated four times as "Cartoonist of the Year" by the National Cartoonists Society, Greg Evans has been pleasing audiences of all ages with Luann since she first appeared in the late 1980s. She was a popular part of Teen magazine in the 1990s and has served as the spokes'toon for Girls Inc. and Tambrands. Also, the "every-girl" teen representative is the star of a series of health and fitness brochures distributed to clinics, schools, and hospitals worldwide by Journeyworks Publishing.Everyone can relate to Luann's trials, missteps, and frustrations-preteens, teens, post-teens, adult readers who exclaim, "Phew! I'm glad that's over!" plus parents who relive the adventures with their own kids. Dates and Other Disasters expresses a universal message that declares no matter how times change, the trials of being a teenager are always the same!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very great comic., August 5, 2005
Luann is about a teenage girl in USA that goes through the usual teenage girl problems and tribulations (like boys, "feminine problems, jealousy, etc.) and it is by a man named Greg Evans (Reuben award winner of 2003) and it is a very good newspaper strip. It has been around since 1987 (this book came out in 2004, but has 2001-2002 strips) and has went through numerous art style changes throughout the years. It used to have the Peanuts style big heads and small bodies, but now has more "realistic" looking characters. It used to be a glorified gag-a-day strip, now it has gags, but with reacurring storylines. Let me warn you that, even though Luann is great, it does get extremely preachy at points (like the drunk driving/SADD story arc) but it is still very recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Eternal Teenager Again Speaks, June 26, 2006
Okay, I confess, I read this strip every day, have for a dozen years, and own this and another Luann anthology, and I admit I'm probably jealous that her ongoing teen years are waaaaaaaaaaay better than my lost and gone forever teen years of mostly self-created angst were, but one thing I still wonder about Luann is why on earth she took so long to get even marginally over Aaron Hill? Hell-ooo, Luann, it ain't happenin', girlfriend! Thankfully it's in the era covered in this collection that Aaron removes himself from Luann's life via a relocation to Hawaii and ends her ongoing torment, but I wish Luann had managed to dump him once and for all for herself and thereby empower her spirit and maybe those of similarly pining teen girls who read along . Okay, done. Off my soap box. If you read Luann, you'll probably like this book, and if you don't, you probably won't. QED. In pace requiescat.
