Well, There goes his hope to summon Francis to get him out of that mess…
…. and it was such a good idea. At least there\’s cookies, so it\’s not a total loss.
Gah! He even LOOKS like a T.A.
Well okay then.
Room 42? Did anyone bring a towel?
And Merrit’s is across the hall. I wonder what she teaches here.
I was hoping somebody would pick up on that. 🙂
Which? 42 or Merrit?
Both, actually, but I was referring to the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
@Pete, kclantern1984, and Nam, Does that have anything to do with it?

“I was just on (yet another) archive binge when I spotted something: this new Francis looks a bit like one of the doo-to-door-somethings (I could guess what they are, but I suppose you left it vague for a reason) that “visited” over the summer. The strip in question is dated 10-14-2010. The door that was knocked on that day also had a 42 by it.”
so…..red skin as a demon=african american as a human…..why is it that that makes sense to me?
It’s a chromatic thing. Similar to why Spock was given a green-ish tinge in the original series. Roddenberry originally wanted to give Spock a red-ish tinge, but the studio was afraid it would make him look like a demon. Roddenberry accepted their argument that red would turn to dark on a black and white set, so they went with green. In black and white it just made him pale, and in color it made him just different enough to look alien.

I hadn’t caught Merrit’s name on the door there! I wonder if we’ll see her.
Mickey Z: I don’t think so. I was just curious about the reference and had to find it. 🙂
*Mikey. D’oh.
@Mikey Z: 42 is a reference to/joke from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Finding it here is like finding a “Firefly” joke in ABC’s “Castle”. Usually they are not plot relevant, just amusing to those who can spot them. Merrit, on the other hand, might be important.
And yes, I archive binge alot. This comic is so much fun. The ONLY problem with it is that there is so little of it. I want more! I am also a fast enough reader that it only takes me a day to read the whole archive.
I’ll be working hard this summer to try to get myself up to two updates a week. I can’t make any promises, but with the new living arrangements, it’s very possible.
Cool, but there is no need to rush. I was just noting how much I love the comic, not trying to add pressure.
This page made me laugh out loud!
