Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 14, 2015

I’m not convinced that this strip proves Piro isn’t a student. Certainly when I was in college, there were times when I’d come home to find a sock around the doorknob, which was our code for “don’t come in here”. I spent two or three nights on the sofa in the lounge, nor was I the only person to do so that year.

I did think using up all my clean towels was way over the line, but it’s all ancient history now.

Luann’s time frame is contemporary enough to include cell phones. I find it hard to believe that a college in California would be so unenlightened as to provide no alternative, however informal, for situations exactly like this.

I think Piro’s roommate is either a “player”, or maybe just wants people to think he’s a player (had one of those, too!), which is why Piro frequently needs to find a spare floor from time to time.
