★ Notes on Year 4, Comic 24 - Class Day★
✔ How can one place come to mean so much?
Graduation. As Class Day speaker, Bitty gets to formally express exactly how he feels now that his journey has come to an end. The Samwell Hockey Haus, Faber Memorial Rink, Samwell University—these are the places where Bitty has grown over the last four years. He’s an entirely different person from that plucky fearful freshman who was excited that the student kitchens were open. He’s no longer the same timid teammate who would crumple at the thought of a check. He’s a varsity captain. And he’s the first openly gay captain of a NCAA D-1 championship-winning men’s ice hockey team!
What a journey!
✔ That panel…#5…with the pecan pie. Is that? Yes, that is a pie that is about to be subjected to felonious behavior. 😢
✔ Bitty is an American history major? YES. Somehow. This is like the most frequently asked question re: Eric Bittle. What is he majoring in?? Bitty is majoring in AMERICAN HISTORY and he’s focusing on AMERICAN CUISINE and BAKING METHODS across the United States. As someone who has a literal degree in comic books, I cannot ridicule this boy at all!
