      He was in Universe 1. If he’s not in this one, that’d be an interesting twist. Perhaps he’s just a really big fan of Doctor Who, so he uses the accent and wears a bow tie.

      Whatta dork. I bet he posts in comment threads with some stupid name like The_Doctor and has a picture of a sonic screwdriver as his avatar. Some people are losers like that.

        I thought it was already established in DoA but I don’t remember when, and since I don’t really know the other series, I’m certain it had to have been revealed somewhere in DoA.

            30’s kind of old to still be a TA, assuming they’ve started TAing at the usual age. A professor is more likely to pick a younger person with more potential and momentum.

            I think of DoA Jason as about 23 or so.

                There is no ‘normal’ age: about fifteen percent of my fellow TA’s (in English: we tought the ‘service courses,’ so there were about thirty of us) were in their forties, going back to school for an advanced degree. But Jason doesn’t look to be one of those individuals. I would’ve guessed him to be a little younger: twenty-one or so. That would explain his pretentiousness; quite a few TA’s that age are desperate to be taken seriously.

                The TA’s I dealt with when going to university were not much older than the students, maybe 5 or 8 years older on average, there was the occasional older grad student kicking around, however.

                  Probably by actually being a different character. Sure they have improbably similar looks and demeanors, but I am a veritable clone of a young George Clooney, so it’s certainly possible.

                  I’m also a billionaire playboy philanthropist and a mensa scholar, incidentally.

    I assume he’s joking, but sometimes Walky seems immature enough for me to believe he really thinks anyone five years older than himself is ‘old.’ There are some people don’t grow out of that until they hit twenty, though, so I guess it’s understandable.

    Dotty better watch it: Walky picking on Joyce like this, especially since he does seem immature, suggests he ‘likes’ her. If the Ethan fiasco blows up right when Dotty’s climbed up on her high horse again, things might get interesting.

    If they were concerned, then there is not one among them who would dare to force Sal to unhand him. At best, they could have someone with their back to the two discreetly dial for security, then call Sal and Jason over and stall for time while waiting for help to arrive, making small-talk about the subjects they like or telling jokes or something…

      I’d agree except it doesn’t really look like he minds all that much.

      There have been other cases when people have minded being victimized a LOT more, and nothing came of it. I’m starting to think that Willis hasn’t got around to drawing up a character model for the campus police yet.

    So in panel 2 Sal is clearly grabbing Jason from the front.
    then in panel 4 she’s practically grabbing his ass.
    I would have thought that she switched in panel 3 to avoid making it look like she was kidnapping him, except that Jason seems to think it’s obvious that hes being kidnapped.

    Silly Jason, it doesn’t count as ‘transported against your will’ unless you let your legs go limp and make her drag you. Maybe cling to a desk or lamppost or something, yell for security/police…

    Now, if she’d chosen a certain crushable /different/ part of you to grab onto and drag under threat of squeezing, you’d probably have no signficant choice. Then again, you wouldn’t be able to get past the first few syllables of saying that sentence out loud, either, reduced to just wailing mentally and making frantic eye-signals calling for help while her gaze was diverted.

    *looks at the panels again* …Hmm, now I’m curious. Did she let go of the front of his vest (theoretically giving him a chance to run for it), or did she do a grab-with-right-arm,-reposition-left-arm action-chain that sounds as though it would be nifty/amusing to watch?

    Either way, realistically speaking it’s just his pride anyway requiring that he put on a show of unwillingness, while actually he’d readily carry her around on all fours like a horsey if she willed it…

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
