          There’s a reason why it had a really brief run. It sucked.

      In that case, Walky should have no trouble ‘tolerating’ her studying. Question is, what happens when they need to form a ‘study group?’

          I seem to be in some type of temporal displacement when it comes to tracking the Mongoose, for I see what I would imagine is Kagome from Inuyasha, or at the very least some type of Rumiko Takahashi character.

      I don’t always get embarrassed in class, but when I do, I end up with a new girlfriend by the end of it.

      Actually, I think Joyce might like the Flaming Lips.

    Yeah, I think we need to start writing our own panel three speech bubbles right about now.

      lulwat. That’s as far away from ‘cocky’ I’ve ever seen. I was just thinking how great Willis did that expression, actually.

      You sir, are silly.

    If I didn’t know better, I’d think Joyce is getting a wee bit jealous.

    Is it just me or does it look like Dorothy is trying to hold back a fart in panel 2?

    I just wonder why Joyce is hanging around to ‘not-listen’.

      She’s not listening. She’s trying to drown out the words “… he’s sculpted out of caramel …” repeating in her mind over the visual of a shirtless Walky.

    “I can make it worth your while.” Dorothy definitely means quality time playing video games together.

    Walky’s expression is great.

    This comic is loads of crazy stuff isn’t it. But that’s collage for you… personally, I’m not in collage yet so I have this to look forward to.

        Yeah, I figured, there just aren’t as many drunk delinquents anymore…. now it’s all drugs and sex, but easy enough to avoid or destroy.

        Party now, study later! I remember from Dexter’s Lab about collage 😛

    I know this is 3 years old, but I love how the last two panels are really just one, broken up in to two. Everything lines up perfectly. Nicely done!
