Sounds like that one episode of Abenobashi Magical Shopping Street where they end up in “America”.
Somebody really needs to get Professor Brock some therapy and a hug. This has rapidly gone from appearing to be simply a nihilistic philosophy occasionally rearing its head during class to clearly being a full on cry for help no student seems to be picking up on.
I understand that anyone can struggle with mental health, and I’m not trying to stigmatize it. But I don’t know if its the students’ job to pick up on cries for help. Perhaps if he had a breakdown in class, or rapidly changed his personality. But he’s always been like this. Are the students supposed to report him to someone? Surely its not appropriate for them to offer emotional support to someone in a position of authority over them. I really think that is the place of friends, family, or maybe colleagues on even footing.
More like “if you see something, say something.” Friends, family or colleagues may need to know about things they haven’t seen, to discover that they are needed.
Or, they might say, “oh, he’s all right, been like that since middle school” and his students can go back to just putting up with it.

Dina, you should be adding “Ah-ah-ah!” after each count.
NGPZ
Nah, she was far more likely to be watching Barny the Dinosaur.
She even knows that one song on the piano ^^
Needfuldoer
She tried watching Eureeka’s Castle once, but changed the channel when she realized Magellan is a dragon.

Oh my god is this panel a reference to your avatar or did you somehow access the future

Preview on Willis’s Tumblr, I believe.

Don’t forget, Willis’ superpower is about 6 months worth of advance comics

SEVEN, DAMMIT

You leveled up?
Decidedly Orthogonal
Yesterday or the day before, yeah. er… Fuck yeah.
Reltzik
Not a level up so much as an ongoing effect that boosts his stats more. You know, a buff-er.
Chris Phoenix
Nice! Thanks for the chuckle.
Lars
So, until what? Next Friday in comic time.
Nymph
God DAMN that’s a lot of comics in the buffer.
staszu13
I stand corrected, Maestro

Dina is going to set up a microphone just to have a total tally of every time Joyce has said fuck.
Well, I hope she is.
Da Boy
I wonder if she’ll inform Joe about how much he owes Joyce for all the fucks XD
foamy
For you, the day Joyce said ‘fuck’ was the most important day of your life.
But for her, it was Tuesday.
Jeff K!
Quick! Change the channel!
Taffy
For at least some of us, it’s also Tuesday in real life. That’s well-timed.
Woop de doop
Holy fuck you’re right

Holy Fuck is a good band.
Bleuryder
Well, fuck. Look at that fucking coincidence
HueSatLight
She’s passed Dorothy for f-bomb to appearance ratio.
Schpoonman
But I thought there was no spoon.
True Survivor
It is not the spoon that stirs, only yourself.
Reltzik
Yeah, I know that. That’s why I want a spoon. This soup is burning my fingers.
Needfuldoer
There is a spoon, but it’s too big.

Well if someone’s anus is bleeding, they better get to the campus health center.

Is it a reference to Michonne and The Governor in The Walking Dead comics? If not, then I don’t get it.

Joyce is allowed to change, and yet, remain.
AbacusWizard
holy crow, she’s goin’ for the high score!
Bicycle Bill
Definitely looks like she’s trying to make up for lost time.
Dara
dang speedrunning her way up to the top 10 xD

More likely than you think,
given the Alt-text, this is literally gonna be like that one episode of Spongebob where he learns a “sentence enhancer”

“Hey, Sal, how the fuck are ya?”
“Pretty fucking good, Joyce.”

Somewhere, something just exploded. Wonder who still hasn’t cussed that isn’t a supporting character…
Book 14: My Individuality Remains a Bulwark Against the Crushing Tide of the ████ Cosmos
John Campbell
Amazi-Girl, if she counts as not a supporting character.
HueSatLight
Jacob’s the only character on the cast page not on John’s f-bomb count page.
Reltzik
Does Galasso count as a supporting character? Because he doesn’t seem like a supportive kind of person.
eh, whatever
FOOL! Everything else supports GALASSO!!!
shadowcell
hmmmmm that’s two really good book titles
Miri
Yes! I couldn’t decide which I liked more!

I feel called out here.

NGPZ
he’s the Galasso of the biology lab,
and great fan game material
Puppeteer Nessus
I do feel Professor Brock needs attention, but only positive. He is correct about everything, all the time
True Survivor
Do … Do you need that hug?
PS. Fan game material?! Do you have something new in the work, NGPZ?
NGPZ
I sure hope I will soon?
Also, I could sure use that hug, given I’m gonna be crying in bed for the next week or so.
note to self: when shadow-Trumper grandparents invite you over, never go no matter how guilty they try to make you feel. never worth it T_T
True Survivor
I am sorry about your grandparents – family sure can suck sometimes. I do hope you feel better soon.
NGPZ
Awe thanks ? ?

Yeah I agree, that falls solidly outside the student’s area of responsibility.
