Have no fear, Jared. Princess Leia Organa and her squad have just arrived across the street on the 57 cross-town bus, and she's coming over to help you teach Dr. Ned "Darth" Fletcher a lesson in manners.

Panel of the Year! Major kudos to June. This panel brilliantly depicts Jared's loser geek status. Star Wars figures on display, microwave dinner -- and a cat! There's no way Dawn will ever fall for him.
At first glance, I thought the Star Wars figurines were people lined up across the street, possibly headed for Santa Royale's sub-par version of ComicCon. June is an absolute genius, right down to the kitty having her dinner right on the table next to Jared's. (What--somebody got a problem with that?)
OMG, I'm glad I wasn't alone in thinking Panel of the Year instinctively. There's surely other strong contenders from the furious seas or Wilbur's Antarctic sandwiches (I might have made that image up in my head). Are there oddsmakers posting some preliminary lines for the Worthies?
Love that forced perspective joke, wanders.
Unpackaged Star Wars action figures sitting on a window sill? I don't know.
I hope Medical Assistant Jared's Kitty becomes a recurring character. I wonder if he gets his own food or if he shares Medical Assistant Jared's Lonely Guy Microwave Meals.
Yes, a strong contender for Panel of the Year! Of course, there are four more months to go - June might have plenty up her sleeve. She's hit all the Dweebdom highlights today. Maybe Jared will eat a PopTart for breakfast tomorrow.
@fauxprof, I also thought the Star Wars gang was out on the street.
@Chester the Dog, Jared is definitely a Star Wars fan, not Star Trek. Spock would raise his eyebrow at that suggestion - cannot see that!
Frankly, I am troubled by the lopsided amount of character development rendered for Jared, someone I can't imagine lasting past this strip. I know more about Jared than I ever have about most of the long-term characters in the Worthiverse. I keep imagining the meeting between June B and KM regarding the depiction of Jared...Or maybe June B decided on her own to take on character development through illustration, since the Worthiverse is such a bland, barren land of cliche-afflicted folks....
YOU DON'T LEAVE COLLECTIBLES ON A WINDOWSILL!!!!! Leia's gown is going to be a wonderful urine yellow in a matter of weeks keeping them like THAT! If those figures are vintage...Jared should be STONED!
I said "Aww" out loud when I saw today's strip. Fortunately I get into work early and no one heard me. I find it odd that Jared refers to his boss as "Fletcher." Shouldn't that be Dr. Fletcher? Or Ol' Man Fletcher? Or "Doctor" (air quotes) Fletcher?

Star Wars? Coco Puffs? Clearly, Jared's not adulting.
Well, at least he uses oven mittens instead of his undershirt.

Oh my, the Star Wars glass - the is the attention to detail that garners a Panel of the Year award.
"Why does that guy look like a monkey?" - Mr. mrvy, looking over my shoulder.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Everyone Just Shut Up! The Big Bang Theory Made Jared's Lifestyle Quirky In A Cool Way".
(Deserves married!
Realize getting into!
Needs truth!
Wish me!)
The Boldface Haiku today speaks prophetically...as it often does.
I never saw anyone eat popcorn with a cocktail fork.
I always saw Jared as more of a Star Trek guy...

Thoughts on the cat's name?
1. Tony (after Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes)
2. Wookie
3. Kitty (wondering how creative Jared really is)

Uh, not that Jared isn't a cliche himself....
His kitty has creepy mis-matched eyes.

Of course, the cat's name is Yoda.
@Toots McGee and Anonymous - of course Jared's action figures are on the windowsill. What better place to dry them off after bath time?
This is not the job you are looking for....
Is it me or is Medical Assistant Jared starting to look like a blonde version of "Son of Sam" killer David Berkowitz?
I was thinking Jared would name his cat Mr. Phipps or something crazy, but yea, Yoda works.
I can see his dream date is asking Dawn to go to ComicCon with him and asking her to do Star Wars cosplay.
@ Regina Wolfe-Parks.
To be fair...that pretty much is my dream date too.

Ummmm... sorry, June, but that's actually a pretty scary looking cat. I wish instead, that Jared had a pony in his apartment. You do nice horsies.

You say, "Jared should be stoned." I'm pretty sure he is.
