★ Notes on Year 3, Comic 21 - Moving Out ★
☆ ☆ ☆ NOTES ☆ ☆ ☆
Tater: how Randy louder than announcer?
Marty: who?
Jack: what?
Thirdy: that big blonde dude who was hollering near the glass?
Tater: yeah jack’s friend! Randy! Like, so loud!
Jack: That’s Adam
Tater: No Adam was loud but Randy was like SO loud
Jack: Randy??? Are you trying to say Ransom???
Tater: Adam–no. Or Andy? Andy. Andy’s big blonde guy and super loud. Like louder than goal buzzer. Wow. Maybe he’s good luck?
Jack: …What?
This is all because Ransom refuses to admit his name isn’t Adam.
✓ That's it! Bitty has the keys!! The Haus is empty. All of the main characters are practically gone—Bitty's basically a senior, which means he's basically already graduated! This comic is gonna be over soon. The end! Thanks y'all! WHY NOT JUST POST BITTY'S LAST VLOG. Oh. Oh my goodness.
✓ Where are Ransom and Holster working? After much deliberation and an entire comic dedicated to cry-yelling at each other about their futures (see comic 3.16 “Help Wanted”), R&H are taking their bachelor degrees from Samwell and putting them to use at a super hip consulting firm in Boston. We'll find out what this entails in Year Four. It might be a lot of tie-wearing, excel-sheeting, and getting paid to analyze new digital sales strategies while refocusing delivery growth for global expansion super-earnings. (Read: They're setting up a beer league and writing off Hockey Shit presentations as business expenses.)
✓ And Lardo??? “Figuring things out. Maybe an MFA.” Haha, an MFA??? Lardo!! Do you want to end up tens of thousands of dollars in debt and pushin' webcomics on the streets of Tumblr like a scoundrel? Opening up metaphorical trench coats and offering people slice-of-life narratives?? My friends have jobs with health care! SAVE YOURSELF!!
...at least she'll be in Boston with family and friends. With Shittys. Wow, those kids better figure out...whatever it is they're doing.
✓ Haus 2.0? Ah, picture it. Ransom and Holster and Shitty and Lardo living in a nice house in Cambridge right off Massachusetts Avenue. Think about all the money they'd save? Aw, takin' the T to work...oh! Running along the Charles... “Oh jack you're in boston for a game hey let's all have dinner bring tater”. Most importantly picture how miserable that fifth roommate would be because these people never sleep, use strange words, hold “kegster parties” for every occasion, cry a surprising amount, and there are always pies. How are there always pies??
☆ Up Next: As the Falconers go deeper into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Jack feels the pressure.
