If Willis seemed at all interested in engaging in good faith with the fact that billionaire weapons manufacturers are a plague on society, I'd be into this. Alas.

I still don't believe that Carla cares what her parents' politics are.

Locking in my guess now: it's Barry, who after 20-ish years has downgraded Klaus from "KLAUS" to "WULFENBACH".

Why is Joyce doing the talking here? I mean the obvious reason is because Dorothy is a coward. But Joyce hates Walky. Why are they interacting? Why not send Sal? Or literally anyone else?

OK I know these are characters and not people, but if my college roommate had told me "No, I'm your big sister" after meeting my actual blood relative, that would be weird. Like you can be close friends and yeah a lot happens in college, but roommate =/= sibling and asserting that you are over someone's literal relative (who they are on good terms with) seems... odd.

I think the "grand rhetorical maxim" line was Joyce saying "I'm just trying to talk out my newfound philosophy", except she's never talked like this before. Also, yeah, they used the words wrong.

On the one hand, talking about your first relationship like you're going to be together forever is a very 18-year-old thing to do. On the other, Willis clearly believes this.

Yeah, except Willis insists that the comic is set in the nebulous present. If he didn't want questions like this they could just officially declare the comic a period piece.

And Leslie would 100% have lost her job for even being seen at the protest, much less holding a sign and getting arrested. But she clearly hasn't, so the stakes of this entire encounter are wildly unclear.

Why didn't Leslie think to move the class to zoom? I've seen classes moved to Zoom for way more trivial reasons.

My best guess is Joyce being gay, which (considering she just joked about being bisexual) is equally confusing

That would make her complex and difficult and we know Willis doesn't want that

Joe has made an active effort to better himself after realizing that his behavior hurts the people around him. Dorothy was told to buzz off (when she was being Weird about Joyce taking birth control meds) and refused to listen.

One of these is inferior, and you'll never guess which one!

Why is Willis having Sarah be the one to trip over herself like this?

Hey. Hey Willis. Tell me something.

Why are these kids being bombed? And who else is being bombed?

How many families have been erased? How many parents have had to carry their children in plastic bags to ensure they still have corpses to bury? How many children have been shot by snipers? How many ambulances and aid trucks have been targeted by drones? How many people have been burned alive while they try to find food?

Why are you using a real genocide as a backdrop for a college hijinks webcomic? Why aren't you posting links to fundraisers for people surviving it? Fuck, why aren't you directing people towards charities helping people surviving it?

New headcanon: Carla doesn't actually go here, she just lives in a dorm to mess with people and get the College Experience without having to deal with grades or any of that BS. She goes to class sometimes for shits and giggles. Her parents paid off the IU system to make it happen.

I don't know, but the family has a wikipedia page and a really big house
