COMING TO BOULDER
OMG! Coming to Boulder? I can't wait. Things were getting a little dull what with all this snow.
-
SLACK
"House of Slack" -- an awesome description! Sadly, I had to google the Marat reference. Slack is where it's at!
-
DEGREES
Zonker saying degrees are good? Oh my...the room's spinning.
-
RESEARCH PROJECT
I'm actually one small research project short of a degree. Popsicle sticks and glitter you say? It could work, just throw in a data logger.

GRADUATE SCHOOL
Recently I've been sad to read that Zipper is giving up on his tenured student status, but I was heartened to read he might manage to graduate after all. If he finishes his bachelor's degree, I think he should consider graduate school. His experience spending over a decade obtaining a degree could serve him well as a PhD student.

COMMENTS
This site is excellent and so is how the subject matter was explained. I also like some of the comments too. Looking forward to your next post.
-
CLIMATE
Zonk should be aware that the climate around Boulder has early killing frosts. I hope he does not set a poor example by becoming an indoor grower. A greenhouse would be perfect!
-
SCARED
There's so much completion going on. What's happening, doesn't Walden have a life-long learning faculty? You're making me scared of what's coming next.
-
RICK
At some point, surely Rick is going to stumble across The Big Story. Perhaps he'll hit the road a la Steinbeck and write Travels with Zipper.
-
MARIJUANA MAGNATE
If Zonk is going to become a "bajillionaire" Colorado marijuana magnate, he may need to be prepared to exercise his 2nd Amendment rights.
-
THOSE FOUR
Oh gawd: those four in one car bound for Boulder? Sheer madness. Please! On the Road for the present age of insanity...
-
MARAT
If his fantasy life includes The Death of Marat, Jeff must have been awake and paying attention at some point during his time at Walden.
-
DEATH OF MARAT
I am a retired world history teacher. Thanks for the very well done reference to The Death of Marat in today's strip. It really made me feel good.
-
WHOA
Whoa, man. The Death of Marat image is harsh. Did Raz do that to himself?
-
JAB
I love the civilized jab at social media today. And I laughed out loud at the nod to Marat in his bathtub. Perfecto!
-
SORKH RAZIL
I hope today's Marat reference does not foretell The Death of Sorkh Razil. Please don't kill him off!
-
NICE NOD
Nice nod to Jacques-Louis David in today's penultimate panel, yo. GBT is a class act through and through.
-
STUDYING
I knew all those years studying art history would pay off, even if only in a laugh!
-
HOMAGE
I love today's homage to Marat. Does Jeff's ego know no bounds?
-
SOCIAL MEDIA
Nice reference (Jeff in his bathrub) to The Death of Marat. Yeah, social media threaten to do that to people...
