Yes, I know the limiting modifier “only” is misplaced. Sue me…
Please don’t.
I do like the Principal’s expression in panel one. He almost looks like a human being with whom we can empathize. Almost.

Is it possible to give your sense of humor the Heimlich Maneuver?
(Illustrator’s Note):
Sooooooooooooo sory for getting this up late folks. There’s been so much to do… … So… much… tired… *collapses in fron’t of the computer*
147-Do You Want to Build a Protest?
(Author’s Note):
I hear that hospitals operating near superhero activity offer punch cards for frequent visits. Be sure to ask about their summer event crossover special.

I felt like actually drawing some background today. So I did. Well, ok, I actually “HAD TIME” to draw a background today.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

I just remembered, I’m gonna be busy on Friday. Can I postpone next weeks comic till like, a month from now?
145-Tea Shirts
(Author’s Note):
So…who would be interested in some merchandise from us? I’m asking for a friend and am in no way saddled with hundreds of dollars of product that no one wants.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Guess I’ll start making up the “Superskooled” Spreadshirt page.

Bonus points if you got the Mario Reference on this page.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Extra Bonus Points but in all honesty that wasn’t a Mario Reference.
143-Tea Time
(Author’s Note):
Dr. Draco just loves sharing a cup of lapsang souchong tea.
(Illustrator’s Note):
So this is comic making: The original scrip was supposed to have Liz in the last pannel, shouting: “TWO!” in response to the robot’s question. That little detail, however, had been pushed down to the next page and I never saw it. But when Logan saw Liz with a completely silent expression, he decided that was funnier and we left it that way. The secret to great comic writing? “Beautiful mistakes.”
142-Dumb-Found
(Author’s Note):
Since this whole chapter is about going green, may I draw (ha) your attention to how we recycled Planetarium’s pose in panels two and four. Who says we don’t practice what we preach?
141-Dramatic Reveal
(Author’s Note):
I’m pretty sure that the U.N. will soon classify Timeshares as a crime against humanity.
I’m also increasingly impressed by the amount of energy that Taylor can infuse in the poses of the characters. Draco’s reveal in panels two and three really shines here. The punchline might be in panel four, but the middle of this comic really has the goods. I guess that’s one thing that makes comics unique. The dialogue and plot of a strip might go one way, but the artwork is what really ties things together.
(Illustrator’s Note):
I’m curious now, to know how many of you figured out it was Draco before this strip.
140-Through The Affront Door
(Author’s Note):
Ask, and ye shall receive…
Originally, I thought Finn might be the one who pushed the button, but we talked it over and decided it would be just as funny for Liz to sarcastically do it herself. As mush as possible, we try to portray Finn as a passive observer, not someone who actually does things.
(Illustrator’s Note):
I’ve been waiting for this gag for a really long time now.
