I always figure this is how customer service people should treat customers. No, not give them pornography, but give them the tools of their own destruction. I think it would make it a more rewarding job.

Advisors having to register students is always a good idea until you see what actually goes on. They try their best, but they’re usually only slightly less clueless than students.

This strip went through a few different versions. The original was more referential, but perhaps too much so. While funny to us, it would have ended up being too obscure for the majority of readers. The second version wasn’t quite “nail on the head” enough. This third revision seems to work best.

As a teacher, I often come into contact with wild explanations for common concepts. That’s where the idea for this strip came from. I like the idea that all the gods would sort of hang out together (that’s Ganesha and Poseidon, by the way). The background detail that they’re all seeing Twilight: Eclipse is a nice touch.

We’ll probably catch some flack for this being a political strip, but keep in mind that Mr. Mittens is pure evil. We do not condone his actions. In fact, he is usually the exact opposite of how we would recommend people act. Usually.
His little Red coat costume is awfully cute, though.

This strip originated from me being amused by the hatred some young men have toward the Twilight series. Now, I’m no fan myself, but some seem to take it as a personal offense against them. These also happen to be the same young men who flock in droves to see things like Transformers 2.
So, basically no young people have taste in movies.

Yes, a Saved By the Bell movie is supposedly in the works. Yes, an Adventures in Babysitting remake, as well. No, the casting is not accurate, but would you be surprised? No, us neither, sadly.
On a happier note, it’s good to know the young people of today are familiar with classic NBC slogans.

This isn’t exactly highbrow humor, but it does point to the general lack of common knowledge many suffer from. You would assume Gray’s Anatomy was fairly well known, but I get the impression most don’t get the television show’s name as a reference. You know, Grey and Gray? Oh well.
I write this and even I can’t be for sure if Tom is stoned at any given moment, or just kind of weird.

This is the type of strip that makes people mad because we’re being too literal with a definition. It isn’t actually mocking Jesus or anything, but people will take it that way. Preemptively, no, we are not making fun of Jesus.
We are, however, making fun of Kevin Sorbo.

I’m surprised this film hasn’t actually been made, yet. A little bit for the guys, and a little bit for the girls. Or maybe just little bits for the guys.
In all seriousness, how awesome would a Castlevania movie be? Completely awesome.
