   Mara? Is this some Jedi mind trick? (Extra points to the geeks who get it.)

   I wanna hear more about Maria’s plan, even though I’m sure it will backfire.

   They’re worried about each other. How nice.

   I wasn’t one for structure and school was structured. Disliked school intensely.

   I was in one class in Junior High. Teacher sent me on all her errands. And then I got a “B” in class because I wasn’t there for all the lessons.

   I think Joey’s being a little sarcastic here, he knows what Maria is going to say to him, so he says it as well.

   I cheated on all my grade one tests. I didn’t actually realize I’d done so until years later. My grade one teacher was prejudiced against ‘Anglos,’ so she couldn’t care less if I was in class or not. So, on the tests, whenever I couldn’t figure something out, I’d just leave the room, head to the library, look up the answer or ask the librarians for help. Then I’d go back in, write the answers down. Prejudice—it’s not always a disadvantage!

    One more comment= lines from a cartoon show, Ned’s Newt. Ned, the hero of the cartoon (how coincidental!) was off school for one day. He comes back and is handed all the work he missed. It’s a pile larger then the one in this cartoon. Flabbergasted, Ned asks his best friend “How could you do all that in one day?” His friend replies “What can I say, we were on a roll!”

    Did someone notice in the last panel Joey calls Maria “Mara”?
