…i hadn’t really thought about the fact that they were cousins before

then again i haven’t consumed all that much Star Wars, relatively speaking. i blame my dad for getting the prequels first, lol

Palpatine was only metaphorically Anakin’s father, so it’s cool.
Sarpiedon
Wait…i thought Plageus created Anamin through the Force.
David M Willis
It is true that Palpatine isn’t Anakin’s donor dad.

You don’t always gotta be shown Star Wars, I’ve learned. Nobody in the family showed it to my niece yet somehow on the walk to school in second grade she was humming an iconic song from the movies! One of her favorites now, I think…
Clif
Only in the sense that Rey adopts the Skywalker family, and so Kylo is her adopted cousin.
I’m not sure under what theory they could be actual cousins.
motorfirebox
Palpatine “fathered” Anakin by using the Force to manipulate Shmi’s womb.
Sunny
dafuq?
Nick
I was under the impression that it was Darth Plagueis who did that. Even if he did it using his own DNA, that would make Anakin no biological relation to Palpatine.

My gods – she does.
Well they are both blondes, and I guess Leslie also has a triangular grin here.

Is it just my imagination? Or does Leslie look younger, happier, standing straighter, more powerful? Last semester she seemed so … weighed down, tired??

I was going to say “until they meet in the hallway after class” but c’mon, there’s no way that Robin’s going to wait until class is over to start pestering Leslie and knowing her she’ll do it in the most disruptive way possible.
Don’t they usually run courses once per year? Even if they have to split the course up into multiple sections because of size/time, they usually keep it semester-contained. So Leslie would be teaching something different this semester and then do Gender Studies 101 again at the start of the next academic year.
for a “101” AKA initial college course like this? It’s not only every semester, it’s most likely offered online and during winter and summer breaks…both colleges I attended were like this, especially for classes that are required electives for humanities/sociology/sciences/psychology electives
There’s usually at least one section for most 101 courses in the spring/102 courses in the fall because of people who apply to start in the spring semester.
Possible, but it’s never been done without notice before. And only done once at that – skipped over a couple days within a storyline to get Walky his pajama jeans.
I fail to see how this could possibly end badly. Thought this ship had sailed buts its done a nifty about turn and sailed right back into port. MIGHT make up for Willis having Ruth and Billie break up.
Ship? What ship? Isn’t Leslie dating someone? I don’t remember her name but I do remember she was black and kind of unpleasant or that people didn’t like her in the comments. Did they breakup leaving room for Robin to slide in or something?
clif
Room to dock? What room to dock? Robin doesn’t need room to dock. She can create her own port to slide her ship in out of sheer chutzpah.
Reltzik
Anna. Dentist who never misses a chance at a put-down. Leslie’s got really bad romantic tastes.
thejeff
Who hasn’t been seen since before the timeskip, so anything could have happened.
Spencer
Anna’s sentence to No Appearance Baby Jail might be ending soon.
Sirksome
Thanks! I actually did an archive dive cause it was bothering me. I guess there wasn’t much evidence there that they were in an extended long term thing and not a brief fling. So I guess there’s plausible room for Robin not that it would really matter to Robin at all.
I do kind of like the Robin and Leslie ship more even though I think Robin and Anna are both really unlikeable. Mainly because Anna’s just a boring side character with a pretty one note gimmick and I like more of the story potential you can get when more established characters hook up. Leslie deserves someone she can have a story with.
I think I’d be awesome if Dana came back and hugged Sarah as a true friend who looked out for her while everyone else ignored her problems.
He Who Abides
And then Sarah gets her bat.
Needfuldoer
I kind of hope Dana sees Sarah’s intervention in her depression that way in due time. Raidah and company weren’t actually doing anything for her but pretending nothing was wrong.
Sam
Or rather, they saw what Dana wanted them to see, and refused to acknowledge that Sarah who saw her in private could possibly know better because they wanted her to be getting better.

Once again the person saying this fails to mention when they last felt this presence.

Since…

Love the triangle smile in the second panel! It’s good to see Leslie happy!
Astaphe
and it will last just up until Robin decides to bring her class on a field trip into Leslie’s class.

But maybe they do things differently here.
Madock345
In my experience introductory classes are often run all year, but you would be right for any upper-level courses.

In this new, modern world? Definitely offered online.

Depends on the class, but some schools run intro courses to a major every semester and that’s what Leslie’s teaching here.
MugiwaraNoPancakes
So Robin is Obi-Wan then? I’m down

Because that makes Becky our Luke?

I never would have imagined Leslie as Darth Vader. Who’s Palpatine?
Michael Steamweed
Mike.
timemonkey
A guy with no connection to any of the involved parties? Sounds more like a Snoke to me. Someone to show up, die and forget about.

Mike, like the Emperor, was only thought to be dead, so that they could continue their work without revealing their identity.

Ronnie is Palatine!

Wonder if any familiar faces will be in that class or not.

Yup. Sailing right into port, as graceful and elegant as an Opera in Venice.
Absolutely nothing can possibly go wrong with this development, and I unreservedly endorse it.

I have a good feeling about this.
Vukodlak
It’s Dana! Sarah’s old roommate! Yes I know that seems beyond the impossible but it was the first name that popped into my head.
Or maybe it’s just Mary.
BBCC
It’d be cool if it were Dana! I’d like to see how she’s doing.
Mary could use this class but will never take it.
