You also have to know that “Frosh” is slang for “Freshman”, or first year student, plural or singular, on American college campuses…. sometimes in high schools, too….
But …um…. using that word was already considered kind of quaint and dorky, even in my college days….
before the parents of today’s college “frosh” were born.
Using it kinda goes with loving stuff like “Frosh Spirit” rallies, and buying waaay overpriced backpacks from the student bookstore with the school mascot on them…

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

So… Ms. Parker isn’t supposed to be anyone in particular? The art style is just different enough to make me wonder.

I enjoyed my freshman year in college. It was a great 4 years.

That’s probably Detention Hall.

My freshman dorm (way back when) was (James) Hall Hall — the dorm so good they named it twice.

this is not a comic strip to be tossed aside lightly – it should be thrown with great force
