Academic arguments are always the funniest when they’re just barely wrong. You agree with Professor Hobo that it almost makes sense, and then in the same instant Jimmy undermines his own credibility. Self-defeatism is at the core of most comedy.

We’ve used variations of this “all literature is about sex” joke a few times now. However, it can’t be emphasized enough how much it feels that way to an undergrad immersed in four or five literature courses. And since it can’t, we’re here to help.

I always figure this is how customer service people should treat customers. No, not give them pornography, but give them the tools of their own destruction. I think it would make it a more rewarding job.

Advisors having to register students is always a good idea until you see what actually goes on. They try their best, but they’re usually only slightly less clueless than students.

Coach T is so proud of everything he says, does, thinks, or perhaps even passes by on the street. Pairing him with someone arrogant like President Czar usually results in humor, regardless of what we do. This is assembly line humor.

We had a bit of trouble with this strip. The last line went through about three rewrites. It originally referenced Raiden, the Japanese god of thunder. We ended up thinking that was perhaps too vague, and for most people an old fashioned Zeus call out would work best.

This is a country music styled joke. A lot of country songs are built around a repeating chorus that in the last verse changes its meaning. This joke works the same way. It’s the Conway Twitty of comic strips.

This is an actual comment from a student evaluation. What does it mean? The world will likely never know.

Student evaluations often present you with perplexing, confusing, and just plain weird feedback. However, that doesn’t mean they’re always wrong.
