good luck, Jason

I’m nearly 74, and it’s still a mystery to me, too.

When you put it that way, he’s really in a bind!

I think Eileen would like cracking the code and consider it an even bigger honor.

I didn’t discover girls until about halfway through high school.

01000010 01100101 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01010110 01100001 01101100 01100101 01101110 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100101

What he needs - Manhattan Transfer, “Baby Come Back To Me (The Morse Code of Love)”

I love the fast tapping pencil in the last panel… Nice touch!

Writing it in code sounds like a great idea! Do the same for the whole class. It should say “If you can read this, you have been tricked into learning hexadecimal.” in hexadecimal.

Social silliness, particularly of the romantic kind, was never my thing all the way through school into graduate school. I have never regretted that, but I did regret not learning to throw a Frisbee. I had a steep learning curve when I got a golden retriever puppy.

I still feel like he’s too old for this, I was friendly with girls as early as 1st grade

I say give her the same valentine as everyone else.

In code? Are you insane! She’ll believe you think she’s smart and special.
