LUANN FAN: Special News!


Dear Reader,

What a treat to hear from so many of of our LUANN Fans last month! We’re thrilled to share that we were able to include several of your favorite Luann strips—and the wonderful comments you submitted—in the upcoming LUANN exhibit.

Next week, we’ll be in San Diego at the Comic-Con Museum, working with their exhibit team to get everything up on the walls. A few sneak peeks are below, and we’ll be sure to share photos and the official announcement once materials are finalized. (The opening is currently slated for the third week of June!)

We’ve also got some exciting news: We’re honored to be Special Guests at San Diego Comic-Con this year! While we’re always there in person at the National Cartoonists Society booth, being Special Guests means we’ll also be participating in panels—and giving a presentation of our own. We love meeting fans in person, and we can’t wait to see some of you there!

And finally, in a nod to this week's storyline with Bernice and Shannon, we’ve pulled together a collection of strips from Shannon’s first book, Dog and Fish. You can read more about how this storyline came to life—and enjoy the full collection—over at LuannFan.com.

Until next time,

~Karen and Greg


A fish and a dog. A couple of unlikely friends. The wild imagination of a six-year-old. This is how stories begin!

This whimsical storyline was inspired by Karen’s love of children’s books (and her time teaching first grade), combined with Greg’s nostalgia for the early days of LUANN—when the art was simpler and more playful. The result? A charming little tale straight from Shannon’s creative mind.


SO. MUCH. FUN!

We really wanted the LUANN exhibit to be FUN. And, yes, informative. Rather than go chronologically through four decades of the strip, we have themed walls: about the creation and creator, how characters have changed, examples of the heart and humor of the strip, memorable moments and fan engagement, and an interactive option for visitors to write a punchline.

A few things we've learned while developing this exhibit:

"Let's pull some strips showing how characters have changed!" is a fun idea. Going through 14,000+ strips to find what you're looking for, however, is not.

Over the 40 years Greg's been creating LUANN, the size of the dailies and Sunday strips have changed slightly. Why?? To make it a fun challenge to plan out how things will fit and look aesthetically pleasing on a wall. Maybe breaking them up and not putting them in perfect lines will help?

We'll have a "real life" Luann on an interactive wall. So, how big is Puddles in proportion to her? In some strips he's chihuahua size, in others more like a beagle. What the heck breed mashup is he anyway? Here's his size for the Museum exhibit:

Dear Reader, Wow! Thank you to all the fans who took time last month to share their predictions for 2026--you came up with clever, logical, unexpected, and sweet ideas for the LUANN cast to experience this year. Some ideas have already been on our drawing board, so to speak, so it's good to know we're of a similar mindset! See more of your predictions below as well as a chance to see Greg in person, this month's Featured Collection, and some of Greg's non-cartoon artwork. Until next time!...

Dear Reader, Happy end of the year—and happy New Year, too! As they say, the days are long but the years are short, and 2025 was no exception. For many of us, it felt packed to the brim (or well over the brim), so we hope this transition into 2026 brings a little breathing room, a little brightness, and plenty to smile about. We hope your days were lightened along the way by Luann and the whole cast of characters. Here’s a look back at (almost) all they got up to this past year. Cheers to our...

Dear Reader, As we head into the busiest stretch of the holiday season, we're taking a moment to pause and say thank you. This month brought Greg's birthday and an outpouring of kind messages that reminded us how lucky we are to share the Luann universe with all of you. Whether you've been reading since 1985 or just discovered the strip, we're grateful you're here. Grab your cocoa (or eggnog!) and settle in for this month's newsletter with holiday-themed Sunday strips, a sweet reader story,...
