      Jason should be a grad student, maybe a TA.

          I kinda hope we can see Professor Doc as a professor. 😀 Jason as a grad student would be pretty awesome, too.

      Dammit, this is secretly going to be a harem comic, isn’t it. 😛

      Joyce is the genki girl, Dina the shy one, Dorothy the smart one, Sarah the sassy one, and Ruth the parental figure.

      DAMN YOU WILLIS.

        Ruth would be a hell of a parental figure.

      These three are here because they were the most likely to obey authority figures, or at least be scared into it, in Dina’s case.

    So from the entire dorm only three people were timid enough to actually show up?

    Ah well, that just gives them more time for introductions. And Dina.

    i’m imagining the next strip as being one long panel with an evil mwahahaha kind of chuckle from Ruth (shown as a huge shadow looming over the cowering sarah), and a NOOOOOOOOOO! from Sarah.

    This is exactly the kind of evil I’d inflict as a residential assistant.

    Fortunately for you peons, I’ve self-selected myself out of that particular situation.

    I just noticed – Joyce is facing a fricking clock on the wall and checks her cell phone for the time?? Those demonic things have erased people’s ability to read analog, grrr….

      I think Joyce can read analog fine. I can, but would still check my phone for the time, out of both habit and not expecting there to be clocks anywhere.

        Man you people make me feel old as heck… WEAR A WATCH…

        Yes, I wear a watch, most because I spend a large amount of time where my phone doesn’t get a signal… you know like in a cave, or the woods…

          Yeah, well…not everyone can wear I watch. I can’t. Something in my bio-chemistry causes me to short out the batteries. So…I carry a wind-up fob watch, instead.

          I wear a watch cos it is easier to just turn my wrist to read a watch than it is to dig my phone from my bag and unlock it to view the time.

      I been to a number of places where the clocks are either not working or don’t have the correct time. I trust my watch for the correct time as I readjust it to the exact second every first Sunday of the month.

        And, if things still hold true from the assignment I’ve seen on my previous posts on this site, prior to the randomizing…

        I GOT MIKE. THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING EVER.

        Also I think this obligates me to end every post with something about fucking your mom. For a nickel. And that was only because I was out of pennies.
