“Independent?  Is that a new euphemism for ‘single’?”  –Chris Semple

(I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that quote, and this comic is it.)

A “wink oozing charm” sounds like something that needs an ointment.  And why would a man in a film noir have a ponytail?  My high school boyfriend had a ponytail.  That’s just one more creepy layer to this comic.  Sorry, High School Boyfriend.

Never fear, this is the last old high school comic for now; new stuff shall resume Monday.  After all, there is so much other Minnestalgia lying around, just waiting to be turned into comics!  And so that is what I shall do with it, for as long as I’m lying around here.  (Which is until January 24th, in case you’re interested.)

I am wearing Christmas ornament earrings and the Minnesota T-shirt my mom made.  Life is good.
