I Suppose You're Wondering Why I've Called You All Here Today

Their walkout averted, the Westview kids trudge to the gym to listen to What Mr. Green Is Going To Say. It’s heartening to see that Cody and Owen are already completely over their mutual crush on Summer: she’s walking about ten paces ahead of them and they’re not even looking her way.

I'll Get You, My Pretties!

I know what you’re thinking: “In Thursday’s strip, Roberta was putting up a poster on the wall to Jinx’s right…Friday, we don’t see her, and then today she’s standing at the other end of the ticket table…and her outfit has changed from blue to red!” Don’t be so quick to blame Batiuk’s sloppy continuity, reader.

Nowadays, his sole purpose is to serve as a wisecracking foil to his hapless teachers. Maybe that experience wearing the pizza costume succeeded in finally breaking his rebellious spirit.
