Aw, don't worry, li'l fella, you can still fantasize about Pedestal Girl all day at work from ten feet away. I'm sure she won't notice you constantly making cow eyes at her while she's trying to work.

So, odds for how long it takes Intelligent Life to go full PUA?

They barged in there because they suspected him of being a spy only to find him recording information, which he freely admits involves one or more patrolmen on the base.

Their response is to swoon again because he called it a journal and that makes him deep and introspective. Gullible Idiot Comix.

I still don't know what the deal with the Nitrates is supposed to be. Are they incestuous lovers? Didn't Sprocket murder-suicide them both a while back because he was beating her? (I guess they had a submarine car, it turns out, but that makes the interaction make less sense even if it explains how they survived.)

Could be potentially interesting. These days a college degree mostly equals a lifetime of debt with no reasonable assurance you'll even be able to find work once you get out. How many people even work in the field their degree is in? (Somewhere between 0-100%, I'm sure. I actually don't know how many people work in the field their degree is in. I just know I don't!)

This is Luann, though. I'd be truly surprised if it actually went in a direction that addresses real problems that real college students face in today's world-- at least, not in a way that's at all relevant.

There is something genuine about it. I also think Arlo and Janis is great for having a long married couple that are still hot for each other, instead of acting like elementary school students with crushes (see Rose is Rose and the loving "love letters" followed by candy and rainbows in the air).

I think it's the nature of the thread that the stuff people generally like goes unremarked upon. One can only say "Hey! Another good Creeps!" so many times. There's more material to work with with the terrible ones.

Speaking of terrible:
I think that the fact that this makes no sense was overlooked by the God awful Intelligent Life strip. Is the wind from the drone supposed to be drawing his toupee off his head? Am I seeing this right?

I actually think this isn't far from how something like this works. Someone's gotta front for expenses, and they need to get paid back.

See, the downdraft from the little copter blades on the drone is making the guy's toupee go up, which is the exact opposite for what it'd do in reality, so this makes perfect sense! :pseudo:

Arlo and Janis is incredibly good and honest and genuine and occasionally downright dirty and I have no idea how it continues to get published apart from lazy editors assuming legacy strips are always safe.

Wow, Tiffany was actually pretty accomplished in high school. How many kids out there are head cheerleader + head of the prom committee + Miss Chamber of Commerce?

As for the college stuff, about half of recent college grads have a job that requires a college degree at all. For people who graduated earlier the number was higher.
