History Trivia / Luann

* CreatorsFavorite: Greg has stated multiple times that he enjoys writing antagonistic characters like Ann and (until her character development) Tiffany because evil characters are easier to write and brings instant conflict to the plot. In general, the "nicer" the character, the more difficult they are to write.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Evans' original plan was to [[UnfortunateImplications have Brad and Toni get married on 9/11!]] Thankfully, more sensible minds prevailed, and Evans changed the date of their wedding, In-Universe because both Brad and Toni had work that day.

* CreatorsPest: Greg Evans has stated Delta was this due to her being perfect with almost no flaws, she was difficult to write for, and was the major factor in the character being written out of the strip in 2014.

* CreatorsPest: By contrast to the above, Greg Evans has stated Delta was this. Due to her being perfect with almost no flaws, she was difficult to write for, and was the major factor in the character being written out of the strip in 2014.
* CreatorsPet: Mr Fogarty, Luann's teacher, and lead character of a comic Greg Evans drew for several years before ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}''.

** Luann herself is known by ''Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon'' as "Inner Beauty," inspired by a comment once made by her mother.

* FanNickname: Gunther and Les's house is known as "The Gulag" by fans on [=GoComics=]. The commenters at ''Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon'' know it as "Cockblock Cabin".

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Brad and Toni were originally supposed to marry on September 11, but too many readers called the creator out on this, feeling it was in bad taste. The wedding date got changed due to both of them being scheduled to work that day.

* {{Jossed}}: Many MANY fan theories as to TJ's backstory. (Of course, he could just be lying, which certainly isn't out of character for ''him''...)

* RealitySubtext / RealLifeWritesThePlot: When the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic hit, Greg said that he didn't want it to dominate the strip, but said that he would start making concessions in storylines for situations that might prove (in his words) "problematic." As a result he found ways to indirectly reference it. A [[CanonDisContinuity non-canon]] SundayStrip showed Luann in a mask, and eventually he found various reasons to move each of the main characters away from Moony University's dorm environment.
