Brad finally gets a kiss from Toni Daytona!

I’ve been a reader of the comic strip “Luann” for years, but I think Brad is infinitely more interesting than the main character, the boys-and-clothes-obsessed Luann.

In a case of Life Imitates The Onion, the November 14th issue of The Onion poked fun at cartoonist Greg Evans (who was known for having his strip address serious issues)… not knowing that Evans WOULD address 9-11 by having it permanently affect Brad.

After the destruction of the World Trade Center, layabout brother Brad decided to become a firefighter, and the strip occasionally shows his efforts to get his EMT training and then qualify as a fireman. Then it spends a few weeks on Luann complaining about boys or adopting a kitten, and then it’s back to Brad.

I’d be happy if the strip was all about him.
