    Hey, the comic’s just starting and so far it looks interesting. I remember getting a similar intro when I first moved into college dorms, although it ran more along the lines, here’s a list of things that if you’re caught doing, you will be expelled and then arrested.

      Indeed, This gives me the feel of The Create Card’s (from fanfiction.net) Digimon the College Years, which I’ve begun to continue on the writing. minus the language that is.

    I love how the little picture on the flyer is wearing the same clothes. Pretty funny. (I’m easily amused, what can I say?)

    Yay Salma.

    Also I just had to use this one to remind myself of which campus they were on to find out just how far it is Howie’s going to have to drive back to Carmel.

    (75 miles, or 1h20m, btw)

    Dang, Asma appeared in strip 3, before Danny, Sal, Dorth and many others, but still doesn’t get much play. How sad. Maybe she’ll get some action in year 7?

Hey! I'm incredibly humiliated to be doing this again in such a short span of time. I need to raise $5k to make a down payment on my rental arrears. We are paying our monthly rent, but we still owe a lot, and if we dont get it settled soon we're gonna lose our place. Venmo magdalene-visaggio

You fifteen years ago: I know, I'll start a college comic. That's an experience that never changes. Classes, parties, relationships, it'll be easy. You now: well I guess I have to address that police brutality is part of the college experience. That's uh... Not great
