Yesterday's strip left me confused and uncertain. Nothing seemed to make sense. Sleeping with...? Doing it...? All your teachers...? I climbed under the covers and prayed that it would all go away.
...And this morning it did! Extra time... Whew. For a minute I thought they were referring to something else.

Hiking Club is looking better and better, isn't it, Dawn?
These aren't college students. They're members of the college's PTO. Joe hasn't been on campus since the 50s. Who wears pearls and cashmere sweaters on campus? Where are the hoodies, backpacks, and earphone wires hanging from their ears?
And no millennial would use euphemisms like "doing it". Where's Jill Black when we need her? #!@?#
So many thoughts!
Blondie was wearing short shorts this whole time?
These "classmates" of Dawn's are looking more like Cro-Magnon everyday.
When Dawn turned and ran, a little music cue played in my head from one of the cop shows of the 70s...I think it was from Mannix. (That reference dates me as only slighty older than Dawn and these co-ed harpies....and so does the term co-ed come to think of it.)
No, purple-garbed angry woman, Alfie, not Dawn, is the teacher's pet. Maybe if you expressed an interest in Leonardo Da Vinvi and yoga you could wrangle an invitation to Harlan's house too.
Since Dawn is wearing pedal-pushers, white socks, and sneakers, she must be running toward 1957.
One thought I've had is that most (if not all?) colleges and universities have just begun summer break. Does the University of Santa Royale just keep going and going and going?
Whoops, "Vinci," not "Vinvi" (and not to be confused with "Veni, vidi, vici," which is Mary's motto)
They're making up for all the days off when Santa Royale (not the college, the entire city) was shut down while Mary was on her three month "holiday" in New York.
Button earrings? Is that a new retro trend that has escaped me? And those patch pockets on Dawn's pedal pushers are not kind to the behind. Someone call Tim Gunn. His gentle guidance is needed here.
Wow....all that's missing are torches and pitchforks and they'd look like the crowd from Frankenstein. Santa Royale = Town without Pity
Oh, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity can do.
I'm glad the purple-suited protector of all things decent spelled it all out for us. Toots McGee, a friend and I debated recently about whether Mannix and Peggy had a thing going on.
I think this is one of those 1950's that Mamie Van Doren did re: Sex Kittens go to College (without the sex kittens). Also reminded of a line from MST3K on the movie Teenagers from outer Space where (I think) Tom Servo says "Very old Teenagers from Outer Space". That sums up the students at SRCC.
I also have a song suggestion Wanders: "Run to You" by Bryan Adams.
Regina The NY Diva: I was going to suggest "Run to Him" by Bobby Vee. There's also "Run to Me" by the Bee Gees. So there you go--possibilities from three different decades.
Go Dawn, run home to Mary, who will bore your tears away.
There's an inverse relationship between the quality of KM's "plots" and the comments here. Wanders and everyone, you're knocking it out of the park! And the hits just keep on coming!
