I should send this to my daughter Amy. She is an only child and used to tell me that she wished we had a bigger family but after staying in a suite style dorm at FSU I think she got a taste of what Kat is enduring and has not mentioned that wish for awhile. Amy is in a suite style dorm so 4 girls share one bathroom. I tell her it is better than the dark ages of the ’80s when a lot of the dorms were the standard ones where you had about 15 to 16 double rooms per floor with a bathroom which had about 8 toilets, sinks and shower stalls if I remember correctly. It could get to be a real mess over the weekend as the bathroom was only cleaned from Monday to Friday; lot of rubbish, occasionally a drunk guy passed out on a toilet and other nasty stuff. I was quite happy to get into the upperclassmen apartments in my junior year where 4 dudes shared what was a small 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment; you just had to make sure got along with your 3 “cellmates”.
I’m new to this comic, please excuse my ignorance. Why are all these people sharing the same bathroom? It seems to be a step-family situation, but I’m not sure. That one kid looks like Dean, but I don’t think he’s part of the same family, so maybe it isn’t him. Just curious.

Looks like I was right about the earplugs last week.

Huh. No shadowing in this strip. The last panel had it yesterday too but not today. New style or an oversight? I guess we will find out tomorrow.

So it might be that that is the only bathroom on their floor and they all have to share it, or Dean lives just a room away.

I also like the art style of panel 2.

Previous storyline – Kat needs glasses. Current storyline – Kat needs more sleep. A bit harder to get a prescription for that.

Wait, Dean lies with Kat?

Kat seems like the height of a 2nd grader, while Dean seems like the height of a 4th grader.

Just like my house, two sisters and only one bathroom.

I never regretted my only child childhood. Me and my mom and two bathrooms (after I turned about 12).

Looks like they fixed the coloring issue. Dean, for sure, does not live with Kat.

I didn’t know that Kat had a POC sibling.

I lived in a house with ten people and two bathrooms for a few years (my grandparent’s house) never again.
