0044 - Not typical. - 2018.08.06

Comic!

Comment:

You may be under the impression that this situation is analogous to someone in the present day lugging their jizz-crusted anime waifu bodypillow into class with them, but that's not quite right.

It's more like bringing a jizz-crusted custom OC bodypillow with a Furby stuffed into the head, insisting that the Furby is their interpreter, insisting that this arrangement qualifies as a prosthetic, and insisting that the college, therefore, is required to pay the Furby corporation the equivalent of 40-hours-a-week worth of minimum wage as long as they continue auditing a single 1-hour-five-days-a-week class.

This arrangement is not typical for a variety of reasons.
