P4: “The two star athlete keeners who sit in the front row of my class seem like they might be flirting, and one of them eats before class and occasionally makes wise-ass comments. And he stops when I tell him to.”
“So you expect me to stop overachieving high school students from being horny, hungry and smartasses? Turns out I didn’t have a minute. Ta ta now.”
Mr. Rooney wants Millford to offer a class in Home Ec, so he goes to Dr. Pearl, who looks like the sort of woman who has spent the last 50 years teaching it.
This may be a rhetorical question, but why do us snarkers continue to tune into this unfolding snoozefest? Somebody please posit on where this meandering story arc is headed.
Perhaps the kindly professor will be informing Martha that the young gentleman has an issue with his I Q test because he spelled it “Eye Queue.” “Queues” are common here in Belgium, not not normally for eye examinations.
" I know I’m only in this lame strip for a week, but this is killing me. I had a 3 week run as a brain surgeon in Rex Morgan and rode camels with Mark Trail. This is so beneath me. I’ve got a cool beard! How about a fifth of that gin that’s pruning you up, and you let me outa here before lunch?"
P1 – Ooh, Kenny Rogers, getting fed up! Although I think he should be more concerned with the student in the row behind him that apparently just left the classroom after dropping off their books.
P2 – When did Mayor McCheese adopt the Michael Strahan look?
P3 – Glad you cleared that up, Kenny. I assumed you literally meant one minute.

I think Mr Rooney’s question in P1 is rhetorical. In P3, not so much.

Professor Beard is as uptight as Mr. Hand. I would think a stuffy shirt like Rooney would enunciate, not abbreviate his words.
Poor Dr. Pearl looks more frail with each storyline. Someone slip a shot of Geritol in her tea.
