Hand-made gifts are great—if that’s what the recipients actually want and/or that’s all the givers can afford. But if they have more dough and they still insist on giving these types of presents? Then, yeah—very disappointing.
And by the way, is Frank addressing the characters or us?
Finally, Luann is one to talk about giving lousy presents.
Yeah. I remember that one. Geez. . . When you name a strip after the main character, they’re supposed to have some redeeming qualities. Are Greg and Karen thinking we should find Luann’s selfishness cute?
Have you included this on your “Luann” Wiki page? That is, a section that talks about how selfish Luann is when it comes to gift-giving at Christmastime?
A “gift” from someone who’s too lazy and selfish to actually do it. Remember the strip where she’d given her mom the gift of lunch at an exclusive, local restaurant? She had given it to Nancy with the intention not to follow through, based on the assumption that she’d forget. But Nancy didn’t forget!
I don’t remember the date of the strip, but that strip was just one of many showing how lazy and selfish Luann is even in gift-giving.
Luann is already well-known as a miser and now Brad, too? In answer to your question: yes.
