This is a country music styled joke. A lot of country songs are built around a repeating chorus that in the last verse changes its meaning. This joke works the same way. It’s the Conway Twitty of comic strips.

Every educational institution is always complaining about the copy budget. I suspect one day this is what it will come to, if it hasn’t yet somewhere.
Dr. Klownus is looking awful dainty.
It’s usually not a good idea to leave an opening for college professors. These people tend to be in their profession because they’re fairly smart and quick on their feet. Faculty meetings like this never end well.
I like that Dr. Klownus carries around a list of students he’d like to get rid of. It’s with him at all times, just in case.
I always enjoy the idea of people not getting what it is that’s controversial about them. I think it shows a weird nexus of innocence, naivety, and ignorance rolled into one. The best part, however, is that he really feels like he gets the issue, but really has no clue. Yes, we enjoy making up things for characters to say that make them look stupid and then laughing at them. We’re bad people.
This was inspired by the occasional run in with a student off campus, and the utter shock they suffer from such incidents. I think they’re truly traumatized to realize that teachers are real people with real lives.
Dr. Klownus looks particularly styling in this comic.
While the iPad is probably a wonderful tool to do very cool things, like most technology it won’t work when it’s forced upon an audience. However, that’s obviously a lesson many haven’t learned yet since this same thing happens again and again with each new technology out the door.
Female Professor does seem to be enjoying it a lot, though.
Something wicked this way comes, and its name is Dr. Klownus. Actually, when originally writing this strip the Farmville online game was on my mind. However, seeing the finished product I realize this could actually be a lot more disturbing of a story where she’s simply showing off some digital photos to him.
While we would never condone the actual harm of an animal (we’re both big animal lovers), the idea of sending cats to their doom is relentlessly funny for some reason. Maybe because we suspect they’d do the same to us?
What can we say? We’re suckers for punctuation jokes! Even better when they’re ambiguously dirty punctuation jokes.
Amanda seems to be smirking at Megan in the third panel. I’m not sure why, but I assume it is at her unadulterated love of the semicolon. Probably not, though.
Everything done at universities is for retention. Locking students away in castle turrets is for retention, and it actually works! I figure most administrators could justify almost anything with that one little magic word.
No harm was meant to the great people at Lipton.
Hatred is relative. For example, while standing in line at the DMV, you likely hate the people slowing the line. Any other time in life these people would be meaningless to you, but not while in line. In line they’re to be hated. Same principle here.
And yes, we do enjoy putting Trey into miserable situations.
