Moore than This

Tom Batiuk Les Moore and his old college pal share a sepia-toned memory. Ronnie’s present-day wizened appearance belies the fact that she once was a hipster coed who drove a bitchin’ VW Bug.

Les’ comment in panel 3 sent me to look up the definition of “cocksure” (I’ll leave the dick jokes to everyone else):

1. feeling perfect assurance sometimes on inadequate grounds
2. marked by overconfidence or presumptuousness :cocky

…so the “punchline”, while not funny, certainly has the ring of truth.

Update:
Reader “crisis du jour” has very helpfully pointed out that today’s scene plays out on the campus of Kent State. He even included a picture of White Hall, the building in the background.
