I find it interesting that Mr. Vine appears to be a principal with no principles. *hopes he doesn't get hurt for that statement*
If we hurt you for that, we'd have to hurt DCS for the name "Beau Vine." Which we won't.

Ya know I almost feel sorry for that principle. Key word being Almost. I hope the idiot gets what's coming to him. Go Miss Mudd!

What a way to start out a personal meeting...

Open mouth...insert hoof.


Guess who im siding with in this battle.
"Yes, yes I'll admit I tuned you out but in my defense its because I've already figured out you're stupid." Dr. Rodney McKay Stargate: Atlantis

"Did you say mattress?,...I did ask you not to. Now I have to get into the fish tank and sing."

One more guess.

The Tetris game?

Anyways, since we're all having flashes of insight that are way behind the curve, I just realized all the 'good guys' in this strip are carnivores and all the 'bad guys' are herbivores.

A welcome diversion from the norm, actually.

Fab strip this, and "Conformity Challenged" probably sums up most O&M fans, lol.

Institutions of learning really love their conformity, and teachers who 'value individuality' only do so when it suits them ... which begs the question, have you ever chaught someone playing computer games at work?
I've been guilty of netsurfing when I should be studying a few times in College. And I also caught a glipse of one of my professors playing Second Life when I went to his office to turn in some papers.

It'll be interesting to see how this meeting turns out. The principal's starting off as blindly conformist as ever.
It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude. I found it in the glare of midafternoon, in the clangour of a metropolis...

On the other hand, "Hitting another student is bad, mkay." is pretty tough to argue against.

I don't remember who it was, (I haven't been here long enough to learn all your names XD) but someone said, "Who thinks Ms Mudd will punch the Principal in the face?" and I'm starting to seriously wonder if something like that IS going to happen. Like he says something and she hits him and the wrong person sees it and it's back to square one.


but actually Millie is weird so... I do agree with him, it's just not the way to say it

Oh, really? Llewellyn and Isolde are good guys, and they're not carnivores. They're neither, they conduct photosynthesis.

That was a one-shot gag. Dragons are as carnivorous as any creature gets; note the frequent references to the possibility of Ozy as dinner.

Isolde at least mentioned it when she and Ozy first met, though I agree it was most likely a one-time gag.

No clue about Llewellyn though.

He eats tofu knights. :-P

And really, they're omnivores, not carnivores. And this is the first I've heard of the herbivore psychologist being called the 'enemy'. *shrug*
