Prestwick is right out of Central Casting — Olde English surname, crossed arms, Brooks Brothers knockoff jacket. Wonder what he teaches? (Doubt it’s 2021 Cloud applications.) Nice contrast with VD the stalker. This one’s about to get interesting.
In all reality , no school let’s students freely roam their hallways during class time nor do they allow students to violate the privacy of the Teacher’s Lounge .
I remember, in sixth grade, standing by the door of the teachers’ lounge. When it opened, I was nearly overwhelmed by the cigarette smoke. But that was long ago.
Hmm, the symbol on kids hoodie in panel #1 looks like something I have seen possibly in a cartoon or movie. Nuclear man? or perhaps showing that this kid is a real science nerd? or dweeb.
“…looking for me?” “Yeah, Coach, you’re tough to run down. I’m a process server when I’m not, like, you know, genuising. I’m serving you subpoenas for a thousand civil suits dating to the ’60’s. They found all the tapes, Coach and I’m watching them now! That’s sure a lot of steam!”
I can maybe buy that the kid’s name is Victor (SSA says Victor was the #105 baby boy’s name in 2005), but “Vic”? No way. (“Vic” might be his grandfathers name, tho.)
“Coach, I haven’t missed a free throw in months. Google Ted St. Martin, and I’m in his league. I’m watching the video now. He only made 5200 in a row. I use the h1953 launch angle method to never miss, so you NEED me Coach. Remember, I’m a stalker.”
Gee, I have hunch. Using my keen eye and brilliant deductive skills, I’m thinking that Vic, with his atom-logoed sweatshirt and glasses, is the smart, non-athletic nerd, while Doug, with his fancy hot rod and racing jacket, is the loud, athletic, but not smart character.

… so, therefore, it’s perfectly OK for him to blow off his scheduled class. Ooooookay.

Why is Gil wearing a shirt with two pockets? Is Milford in Montana circa 1955?

P.2: Burn by Dr. Jones. Everyone knows Gil doesn’t teach. He hangs out in the Teacher’s Lounge all day and drinks coffee.

Vic, I heard you were waiting for me. And I couldn’t get the window opened, so this is my only exit.

So what is the quote on the entrance to Professor Stereotype’s classroom?
“Once more into the…..dear friends”. Something from literature?
