Why is Pikachu in a cage? Also, yesterday you said something about your Discord being in the Quite Place. What did you mean by that? It sounds ominous.
i recently fell for a scam in which i lost all my paypal balance and my discord account to IRL team rocket ?
True Survivor
I am so sorry. That really sucks. I hope you can maybe recover some of it. If you have to make a new discord account, will you at least be able to get back into your old channels?
That sounds like the sort of stuff that would be highly corrosive and really bad for skin to come in contact with, as well as so sticky that washing it off is going to be a challenge…
Rose by Any Other Name
I mean, it’s meant to be water soluble, so washing should not be an issue.
I can see an Optimus Prime pun on the blackboard already.
Is Willis spending a quarter century plus making webcomics simply to recruit people to Transformers fandom, and is he being paid well for this? Because I didn’t care about them before yet I’m getting curious now.
The class laughs and cheers, and she’s like “Yeah, that’s right! I sure did kick that stuffy old bureaucrat’s ass, didn’t I?! I’ll bet you’re all pretty entertained right now, and inclined to forgive my wacky transgressions! …The first part of today’s lecture will specifically be about sensationalism, performative rebellion, and their vital role in getting the masses to accept the rise of autocracy.”
i mean, i’m sure it’d be cathartic to imagine yourself pushing someone in ur class as a teacher , i don’t condone violence but there were def some bratty students that need a slap/their ass kicked
Considering his immigration status is a sword of Damocles, it’d be a problem of worker exploitation if he were anybody in the world except for Jason. She should help back up and then push him down again.
Reltzik
Jason absolutely does not deserve to be exploited under an unequal power dynamic. /s
… well, okay, NOBODY deserves that, but if anyone did, Jason would… actually be about C-grade or D-grade baddie tier and there’d be a whole lot of others ahead of him who deserved it more…
… look, I had a point SOMEWHERE here, could someone help me look for it?

Have you looked behind the couch?

I just dislike Jason, it doesn’t matter to me if this is ironic punishment.
They are very close, and this not a poli sci class and it IS a webcomic discussion 🙂 However, you are right: That’s the way it is normally phrased, because that’s what Authority figures frequently do: pass laws to expand their authority into domains where they do not currently have power. Most powerful figures without legal authority (like a religious leader, celebrity, or artisan) don’t run for office to gain power, they expand their support base.

Not JUST a piece of furniture, like a table to flip

But we have it on good authority he’s very fetching.

And you have to admire the way Robin teaches by demonstrating her points.
James
Robin’s methods are very good at teaching certain ideas, which may or may not be related to what she intends to or thinks she’s teaching.

Well, <a

Chesterfield isn’t normally so easy to flip. He make be more wobbly due to the stick up his ass being loosened.
A bit.
Maybe.

Oh yay. I butchered the html.

I don’t know.
At least a real person replied to my discord ticket 5 days ago, said they investigating further.
If possible, please support me via KoFi on my tumblr, anything helps to stay afloat ?

So the coffee cup was to contain the syrup.
My curiosity has been sated.

luckily that means it wasn’t hot. tho the stickiness is gonna need to be washed off immediately lol

I imagine Robin put it down before shoving Jason with both hands, or else we’d likely have seen some splatter.

General Tekno
No, no, it’s not a pun. It’s a reference.
“Not just a bad Optimus Prime comic.”
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers:_Autocracy
ValdVin
Ah. Good to know.
Needfuldoer
It must be working. Pretty much everything I know about Transformers, I learned through osmosis from reading Willis’s comics.
ValdVin
I have two sources. Willis is one and Jackie Wolenhaus (Between Failures, which I highly recommend) is the other.
Wolenhaus’ social media accounts are as full of Transformers as Willis’ is.
RassilonTDavros
Wacky Professor Robin is really good at making the part of me that controls laughter forget that she used to be Amoral Congresswoman Robin.
HueSatLight
I know that’s Jason’s leg in panel 4, but I also like the idea of Robin pushing him down with three of her four limbs.
Icalasari
Wait, she didn’t?
Rectilinear Propagation
Nah, her pants are a darker color.
Decidedly Orthogonal
Pants, or possibly skirt. ?
Armadillo
Oh, I definitely thought she was throwing a kick in there for good measure.
Aura
Add me to the count too
True Survivor
The board says Autocracy is bad, but her actions say “All hail Robin”
Needfuldoer
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
Daibhid C
That is probably literally one of the things she teaches them about politics.
Although, technically, the board says Autocracy the Optimus Prime comic book is bad. We can’t see what it says about the political system.
True Survivor
I didn’t catch that – that is funny though. Thank you for pointing that out.

I hope I m not the only one who imagined this music started playing when Robin announced the topic:
https://youtu.be/rk8X_kLYWQA?si=cd6yAWWBHcon7ghc
BBCC
She offers very thorough demonstrations
clif
Yeah, the students may be actually getting their money’s worth.
Sentient Sandvich
Honestly if I had teachers with that much passion, I’d probably be able to stay awake
C.T. Phipps
I choose to believe Robin will eventually return to power a a Democrat.
anon
i mean, if she wins by shoving her opponents off stage, we (voters) dont’ deserve better than that
Reltzik
And I will choose to interpret that as a shift in the Overton window rather than character development for Robin.
Da Boy
Please no, she is actually doing something good and productive instead of being a scammer

Oh, poor Jason.
Also, hmm. I mean, putting the Coca Cola syrup into coffee might… kinda-sorta work, unless she’s just using the cup, in which case, yikes.
Rectilinear Propagation
I suspect it’s the latter.
Reltzik
This is Robin we’re talking about. She lives on a strict sugar-and-caffeine diet.
Weatherheight
It does and better than I had expected.
JessWitt
Must be a typo but love the tag for “i”.
Amós Batista
Codinome “i” is the bald person in the first panel
Amós Batista
“i” is gone. Press F to pay respect.
Amós Batista
As a terrible politician, she’s a great teacher.
General Tekno
Yeah, she’s teaching how the system ACTUALLY works vs how it’s SUPPOSED to work. And doing a pretty fair job of it!

Robin works a lot by pratical examples eh ?
Reltzik
Which are also practical jokes.
Mr. Random
… wouldn’t it be the centralization of authority to consolidate power?
Fred

Pocky
I suppose if Jason has to be back, him getting dunked on is the most palatable way to do it.
clif
Alt text, that may be a fetch too far.

weebles wobble
but what do wombles do
Needfuldoer
Presumably, they weemble.
NickG
They go under ground, over ground, Wombling free.

grimbling and grambling?
CianM1301
Mostly recycle rubbish from Wimbledon.
Aura
They make good use of the things that they find (that which was discarded by the everyday folk)
Reltzik
Wasn’t there a whole comic where Robin called out Leslie for using people as props?
*archive dives*
…. okay, nevermind, it was less a “how dare you you hypocrite” speech and more of a “see, you’re doing what I do, we’re not that different” speech.
