Any other Topes I’m missing?
…. and what did Castela do to her elbows?
Ahh, but wait until she gets done with school. Suddenly not being in school is a real culture shock when you’re officially out of school. Then you have to get used to the entire working culture then too.
That’s a big advantage of doing internships, just as Pickle is considering. You get exposed to the culture difference gradually (rather than all at once when you start your first full-time job and have to earn your own living or starve.)
One of the best/luckiest decisions I ever made, was to go to a college that ran the whole second half of the undergraduate program as a work/study coop/internship. Undergrads spent alternate quarters in school, and working in industry.
How could things go horribly worser and worser?
How about Digit in human form sent to school to learn to act “human”?
Or
New character Pickle falls for….but he’s gay?
or

It could go on and on. let’s just wait and see.
Do school desks really have that little hook-hanger for backpacks? ‘Cause I don’t remember anything like that in my school days. (‘Course I carried a briefcase.)
The problem with using them in high school, is that many high-school students’ workload of books and homework materials can completely fill a backpack with Dense Material. Hang that much weight on the side of a desk, and the whole desk may tilt and fall over.
hence lockers,, with eight classes , two of those don’t require books,, swap out books after first three classes.. (actually two packs..)
an to lighten the load , stay after school an do most of the home work…
Come to think of it…Is there anybody in the Wapsi Square social circles who might have a son old enough to attend freshman high school? Is there any connection to anyone we’ve met?
I would’a thought paranormal kid. But, then, maybe, Lakshmi really is the Hindu goddess and not just a namesake. After all, she could throw a bowling ball down an alley without it touching the ground.
Students in any particular grade in a high school usually do not all attend the same classes at the same time… you may be with a different group of students for Chemistry, for example, than for History.
You could think of Home Room as a class session (sometimes shorter than most) for administrative purposes… it’s where the teacher calls the daily roll to see who is absent, makes announcements, and so forth. It’s often early in the school day… first or second class period. Students would usually remain as part of the same Home Room class through the whole year, even if they’re on different or changing academic tracks or course schedules.
The Home Room teacher often serves as a student or parent’s primary “point of contact” with the school administration during the year. The Home Room teacher might or might not actually be teaching one or more of the academic classes that a student attends during the day.
What is this trope of any school show, that somehow one of the students has heard about a coming transfer student before any of the staff announce it?
Even rumors have to have a starting point!
aaand Pickle will start falling for this one when they end up with Dayla?

Sensei can’t be too clueless, if she’s teaching at Gryphon. She must have experience with insane shenanigans.
In the words of H. Allen Smith, “Scarcely a tiddy to her name.”
Yet I can’t help but wonder if the teacher’s a member of MIB, or if she, herself is also a Para…
Teacher is actually male, he just likes frilly tank tops
She appears to have the dentition. Not too many Humans have prominent Eye Teeth in their lower jaw.
[I do, but I’ve never gotten Braces.]

She did want to study science: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/science/
so, does “Home Room Teacher” have a name? (Or is this just a one-time throwaway?)
Well, maybe she’ll get one in the future… wouldn’t be the first time
His name is ‘Bob’, Bob Mackie
We still don’t know Daylla’s family name, and she’s been around for a while.
Ah, good, she does (Mrs. Abbott) and this strip was updated too. Thanks Paul.
My money is on Hiroshi, just to make Pickle uncomfortable.
Ditto.
that would be ironically HILARIOUS!!!
He wouldn’t be a transfer student though
Be wary of freshman high-school year decision making, young squire. You don’t want to be weighed down by something at age forty by a bad choice now.
Testify!
Maybe someone to replace Castela’s flown butterfly?
*ALERT! ALERT!* Love triangle formation now in progress! *ALERT! ALERT!*
Dude’s going to have an Octopus Head, betcha…
“Everybody, please say hello to Zalgo.”
This might be why the new teacher isn’t a named character. She’s due to be possessed and/or eaten in the very near future?
I think you meant “Z̫̺̙͎̝̤͓̜̥̾͌͐̾̔̾͋͂͠͡a̢̜̤̱̰̙̪͓͆̆͒͑͛̉͝͡ͅļ̢̤̺̙̘̥̮͛̉́̽̒̔̚g̶̗̰̣̜̹̻̃͛͆̀̀̋͋̇̄͑ơ̵̥̫̥̠̪͓̂̋̿̂̄͑̄̈”…

Digit works in the school library. It would seem she’s too old to be a student, but old enough to be a chaperone.

some do now days.. even seen a few that have two,, so you can hang your hoodie.. (light jacket)…
Here in Denmark they had them as far back as the 70’ties, when I went to school (yeah, I’m oooold)
Judging from anime it’s a standard feature in Japanese high schools.
The problem with using them in high school, is that many high-school students’ workload of books and homework materials can completely fill a backpack with Dense Material. Hang that much weight on the side of a desk, and the whole desk may tilt and fall over.

“Wapsi Square – The High School Years”
I’m betting it’s going to an adorable little kitty person.
More adorable than Timmeh? o_O
Dooooooooooooooooooom ~<3
Come to think of it…Is there anybody in the Wapsi Square social circles who might have a son old enough to attend freshman high school? Is there any connection to anyone we’ve met?
Lakshmi and Owen?
I would’a thought paranormal kid. But, then, maybe, Lakshmi really is the Hindu goddess and not just a namesake. After all, she could throw a bowling ball down an alley without it touching the ground.
Think of a young man, thick hair like his mother, only blond like his father, contrasting his dark skin.
And a propensity for popping out two extra pairs of arms since he turned 14.
It’s dietzel, isn’t it…
Or Timothy’s twin from the alternate reality.
We’ll find out Sunday evening…
btw- What exactly IS ‘Home Room’ anyway? Never had it/one…
