They used to have them at lunch in middle school.
Kinda slow on the news posting this week! I went into job-work early today so I can take my girlfriend to the airport later, and by the time I got here, I’d become so preoccupied with job-work stuff that I forgot to blog. Whoopsie!
I graduated college in 2004, even though I started in 1999. I changed majors halfway through my third year, and there was too much core stuff in my new major to finish in just a year-and-a-half. Josh and Beeb had better luck. The Superhero Studies program at the University of Delaware at the time that they entered the tract in 2002 was still fairly new, with broadly defined requirements. This allowed both Man and Boy to use their old majors (Hotel/Restaurant Management and Chemical Engineering, respectively) for all of their general requirements, leaving plenty of room for them to rip through the core SS courses in just two semesters and an off-term class in the winter.
The fact that I had to explain that is indicative of one of the perils of working on a serial, because the only reason I needed them to graduate in 2003 rather than 2004 was that I had long ago established that Burrito Boy was 22 at the time that our heroes’ careers were just starting out, which, if he was born on March 15th, 1981, means he finished shortly after his birthday in 2003. If I had just had him say “twenty-three?” instead of “twenty-two?”, it wouldn’t have been an issue. Lesson learned!
He also should have said “22″ instead of “twenty-two.” Maybe I’ll fix that for the book.
I think someone just caught me picking my nose.
