      Yeah, I was never in a dorm with elevators, so this was never a problem I experienced. Stairs ftw!

      …until you have to move from the 3rd floor of one dormitory to the 3rd floor of another. Then stairs suck.

        But stairs are fun! You can jump down at, like, two at a time, then three, then five, then eight… Lots of fun.

        Then again, if you jump at the right time in the elevator you can jump super high. It is hard with that many people in the elevator though, so the stairs still win.

      This line didn’t make it into this series of comics, but Billie didn’t have time to shower, as she woke up late to class, and so she rationalizes that running down the stairs woulda given her major advancements in Stinkpits.

    Do they live underground? Because when I was in college, no one ever used the elevator to go DOWN. It was too frigging slow.

    You used it to go up, because a backpack with 8 textbooks in it is not something you want to lug up the stairs after a long day.

    (Okay, to be fair, I went to OSU and there were a couple of really tall residential towers that I imagine even walking down would have been a pain. But in the normal dorms it wasn’t a problem)

      I walk down AND up the stairs in my dorm all the time. It’s a holdover from when I was in a different dorm building on the second floor, and waiting for the elevator in either direction was too much of a hassle.

      Also, it’s decent exercise.

      People at my college will often use the elevator to go down one floor, even when the stairs are empty and the elevator is a few floors away. Although I didn’t live on campus so I dunno about the dorms.

      I usually went down the stairs in dorms, and sometimes up. I rarely encountered other people while doing so.
      Some of my friends would take the elevator while I took the stairs, even, and I had to wait for them.

    This is why they invented stairs Billie. Hop to it! When I was in college I got tired of waiting for the elevator so I just used the stairs. I wasn’t in the best of shape but I became used to walking up and down eight flights.

    At this point a man called Gardrilla Manceframe rediscovered and patented a device he had seen in a history book called a staircase. It has been calculated that his most recent tax bill paid for the social security of five thousand redundant Sirius Cybernetics Workers, the hospitalisation of a hundred Sirius Cybernetics Executives, and the psychiatric treatment of over seventeen-and-a-half-thousand neurotic lifts.

Andor thoughts My friend also suggested they could be vapes and I wish I'd thought of that
A comic of two people (myself and my partner) watching Star Wars Andor on TV.
Me: What are those things in their front pockets? (Referring to Deirdre's imperial uniform with metal cylinders poking out of the front pockets.)
Partner: That is THE question.
Me: Maybe they're like... pens, for writing their fascy memos at double efficiency! (Deirdre frantically scribbles notes on a sheet of paper with a pen in both hands.)
Partner: No, no, no...
(A panel of Lio Partagaz unclipping the metal things and lifting them out of his pockets. In the next panel, his pants fall to the floor with a FWUMP.) 
Partner: ...it's the only way they can take their pants off.

MATTIE: Man, I put all these crabs in this bucket to watch them fight to the top for my amusement…

PANEL 2: MATTIE peering in close to the bucket. One claw is raised, holding a little piece of paper folded over.
MATTIE: …But it looks like they all just started trading ZINES in there!
MATTIE: Kind of annoying.

PANEL 3: MATTIE grabs the zine.
MATTIE: Hm?

PANEL 4: Close up of the zine in MATTIE's hands. The title is STEVEN, THE CRAB DIRECTLY BELOW ME, IS A PIECE OF SHIT!

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace
