            You know, curiosity usually gets the better of me, but after your warning, I’ve decided I really don’t want to know…

            Judging by the look on Sarah’s face in that last panel, I’m guessing she feels the same way about what she may have overheard.

      I wonder, if using a square peg do the corners add to or detract from the experience?

        I’d say that depends a lot on whether the corners are sharp or rounded. Rounded corners? Might help. Pointy corners? Like swallowing a potato chip without chewing.

        But mainly because he/she kept saying that Billie needed to die because she is stupid and mean and a drunk. And those were the only kinds of posts he/she made.

        So far, I haven’t seen Mkvenner demanding Billie’s death.

    ↑ The preliminary work towards the Amazi-Pede. I got the image from alibaba (and it flabbergasted me how many different companies in Asia are building bumper cars!) and altered it by changing the colors and removing most of the bumper skirt. Dunno how I’m going to add in the wheels but I imagine one or another of you might have a better idea.

    I feel as if I’m missing out now. So I will make this an all-important plot point – Sarah has just realised where her tent peg collection has gone missing.
    And now she is out for REVENGE.

        yeah but still 7 am on Sunday seems weird for college student and sophomore at that to be up this early on Sunday to study less they pulled an all night-er (at this early in the semester not likely) or is in a very demanding major such as biology physics chemistry engineering computer science In that if she was studying those majors she should be going to Purdue University which has a better undergraduate program in those fields, Indiana University is known as the liberal arts institution although its med school is renown. But according to her bio she wants to go to law school which means she is probably either a pre-law philosophy or political science major well it may require a decent amount devotion to be good at these disciplines its not nearly enough to warrant this type of studying. If your studying Law it should be noted Law school is a different beast then pre-law. I am not sure what Saran’s studying but her mind might be clearer at 10 am unless she is going to bed at 9 pm.

Panel 2: WOMAN: (eyes closed) “Yes, shut up”

I came for the frog saunas, and stayed for the dick-punch to capitalism:
People often ask us to justify why we do our work or explain its broader benefit to society. I often retort with: “No one asks an accountant, or someone making money from money, what their greater purpose is.” Yet, someone like me working to conserve frogs is treated as if that’s not a real job. I’m not tired of justifying that what I do is important, because we are saving species from the face of extinction. But I do enjoy making people laugh with that joke, because it’s true.
