Today's installment has EVERYTHING! Where to begin... where to begin... Okay, let's just start with the mysterious shadow on the wall. For some reason, this classroom's overhead florescents just seem to be missing one triangular segment near the corner of the classroom... but wait a minute... where's the corner of the classroom? Spooky. Moving on. Professor Jones's Easter suit is dapperly accented with a carrot shaped tie. Oh, how I wish it were orange. Missed opportunity for an art professor to really nail down his reputation for fashion, color and design. And thank you for writing "art history" on that oh-so-last-century chalk board so late in the semester, just in case someone wasn't quite sure what they'd been studying. And, why is there a desk at the front of the classroom? I thought this was college, but perhaps it is fourth grade.
And for those who have experienced it, nothing is more difficult than losing a professor just before finals. Everything is up in the air and you have no idea how to prepare. Dawn is going to be a basket case!

Since when do professors "drop out?" Oh...wait..."Tune in, turn on, ..."
Adolf Menjou is alive and well.
The class of 6 is full of pep. Dawn should not worry about this change of instructors. She has probably taken this class so many times, she could teach it herself!
Wanders, please add to the list of classroom oddities the peculiar window/glass block panel that seems to be suspended over the heads of students in panel 2.
SRU faculty always write the class subject on the board because all SRU students are so forgetful, they cannot remember what classes they are enrolled in. "Art History!? I thought this was Physics of Orange Furniture!"
I'm making this offer to Joe Giella and his team of illustrators: People, I work at a university. How about I snap some photos of actual college students, classrooms, and campus facilities and send the photos to you? It's obvious that Karen Moy has locked you in a room with absolutely no contact with the outside world - no Internet, TV, newspapers, magazines, windows, etc. (Uh oh - how will I get those photos to you?)
How wonderful of the late Johnnie Cochran to leave one of his many colorful suits to Professor Jones.
Sharon: I think that's exactly what the new professor is going for here. He's wearing his Electric Kool-Aid Acid suit.
I wonder if there is some tie-in between Harlan Jones and Hilton Berkes.
We're waiting in anticipation to see what Dawn does to take Mary Worth's advice. She walked right on by the hiking club opening. Why is this new professor detail being thrown into the story so randomly? Is the professor going to be Dawn's answer to loneliness?
Does Santa Royale not have a decent men's wear store anywhere??? And Wanders could you add Jimmy Buffet's "Pencil Thin Mustache" to the jukebox?
Is this an Amish school? No laptops? Just one piece of paper and a pencil/pen to take notes on? A chalkboard? Is there a reason there is no art hanging on the walls of the Art History class? Is it Random/General Art History or something specific? After Dawn was addicted to texting does she completely reject technology now? Will she join the Amish Club? Where is this exciting story going?
Santa Royale University has quite the commitment to the greening of America. I can't wait for slick Harlan Jones and mossy Ian Cameron to appear together in all their verdant splendor.
Nice job pairing the green suit with a green sweater vest.
Looks like he shops at "The Riddler Sample Booth" at the Santa Royale Batman Fan Club Swap Meet.
Where are the backpacks? All these kids should be lugging around huge backpacks containing all their books, not to mention a laptop, a tablet, probably a change of clothes, and sometimes leftover pizza. And by this point in Spring semester they (kids and backpacks) look pretty grubby.
I'm surprised there isn't a thought balloon over the girl in the back left row, "He's so dreamy!"
Wow. So many questions as this plot unfolds:
1. Will Dawn show any interest in hiking?
2. Will Dawn show any personal interest in James the hiker?
3. Will Dr. Harlan Jones be a new character in this plot?
4. Will Leonardo da Vinci have any relevance to this plot?
5. Is Dr. Harlan Jones a friend of the new University Director, Hilton Berkes?
6. How many students are in the Art History class here at the University? It looks like a pretty large faculty:student ratio. Perhaps the Director should be concerned about enrollment numbers.
