Transcript:
The Professor: Evelyn, would you like to join Boone and I at the movies? Evelyn: Oh, that sounds nice. What are you seeing? Boone: Some Fellini film the Professor suggested. Evelyn: Oh, maybe not. I'm not a fan of subtitles. Boone: Wait, there are subtitles? Professor: I understand, Evelyn. Four hour foreign films are not for everyone. Boone: Beg pardon? Did you just say four hours? Evelyn: Ciao, gentiluomos.

Would the Professor really make that grammatical mistake (“Boone and I” for “Boone and me”)?

The Professor wouldn’t, nor would most people of their generation.

It’s really rare that unintentional grammatical mistakes are made in comics, but this does appear to be one..

Because so often people say “John and me”, where “John and I” would be appropriate. But in this case “Boone and me” would be appropriate.

You don’t say “join I”. It’s “join me” or “join Boone and me”’
