Along with a number of other comics, I have been following the Luann comic strip for several decades. Within the past year unfortunately, the quality of the writing is suffering. Of course the DeGroot family have their flaws and weaknesses. I’ll probably get some flak, but I am convinced that Karen does not have the experience in writing strong and positive story arcs like her father.In years past, Greg was somewhat masterful in writing adventurous story arcs regarding Luann, Frank, Nancy, Brad, Toni, Delta, Tiffany, Gunther, TJ, and the ever devious Ann Eiffel. Now it seems that the characters are portrayed with little, if any sense of responsibility at all.Luann can secretly enter her parents’ business at night, allow others in and have Tara nearly killed. Luann can also allow people to come into her bedroom at night. Cute little Shannon can throw childish fits, throw things at people and is not punished. Tara can being lethal weapons on school property and thereby endanger children.Today Nancy tells Bernice to simply do her own thing while dissing Frank and Luann in favor of Bernice. At times, I ask where is the comedy in this comic strip?
