Is “you lose your appetite in summer” just a Japan thing? I can’t remember hearing it before I came here, but it’s just a completely accepted bit of conventional wisdom here so I have no idea how accurate or widespread the idea is.
It's not something I've really heard people say but I've certainly noticed it about myself. In summer I'll be happy with something like salad and a bit of fish for dinner, whereas in winter I'll want a good solid meal.

Yeah, here it’s a full on thing with a word and everything: natsubate is the state of having no appetite because it’s too hot. “Sorry, I can’t finish my meal, I have natsubate.”

Well, comics have a long history of kid characters getting absurd homework assignments, like Charlie Brown doing a book report on War and Peace or Calvin trying to assemble a bug collection.

And now this character will become a lawyer entirely through night classes. Is that even possible?


A couple other people have said it already, but no, the answer is no.

I'm not aware of it as specific folk wisdom here in the states, but it does kind of make sense. I feel like people tend to want heavier foods in the winter - thick soups and stews, stuff like that - which I presume have more calories.

Going to law school part-time while working full-time is certainly possible. Doubt it's very fun, but possible.

Maybe he uses his supposed disability as an alibi and without it the cops will be able to link him to various crimes? :shrug:

Interesting, for some reason I always assumed law was stuffier about itself and wouldn't work like this.

Of course in his other strip Holbrook had the mouse guy get a PhD without seemingly taking or teaching any classes and doing research entirely by reading books part time.

Hippy knows that it's socially inappropriate to pretend to be disabled and is threatening to cancel the Snail, clearly.
