    It wouldn’t be a college town without insane pizza adventures. Personally, I think she’s staking the place out for Ninja Turtles.

    In a college town restaurant, as long as it’s alongside good food at relatively cheap prices that’s served promptly, it’s AMAZING how much psychotic attitude can be included in the customer service.

    It does cut into the tips, slightly; but bloody few college students tip worth a damn, anyway.

      Oh, that’s easy – that’s the textual representation of a verbal aside, which is vocally represented by a slight drop in volume and a tonal shift.

      Doing that while shouting, on the other hand, is mighty impressive.

      For those of you who don’t know, Glasso’s Pizza replaces Mother Bear’s Pizza in Bloomington. Mother Bear’s has award-winning pizza, but I guess their service isn’t great? I’ve never had a problem, but I usually get Aver’s instead.

    How is he able to talk in parentheses like that? I could sorta see how Amber did it in the last strip. But in the middle of yelling? Is the (sub) bit just some sort of compulsion peeps have to do when discussing his restaurant? Like when the La-li-lu-le-lo make people say La-li-lu-le-lo instead of saying La-li-lu-le-lo?

    … oh, goddammit.
