Principal Gomez: How are things going, Carmen? Tia Carmen: Fine, Principal Gomez. Principal Gomez: I think the students are going to like your buffet. Principal Gomez: The bread looks fresh... the potatoes look creamy... Principal Gomez: And the attendant looks heavenly! Tia Carmen: Attendant? What? This is cream spinach!

Tsk, Tsk, Principals are not supposed to be making moves on the Lunch Ladies no matter how “Heavenly” they may look.

What’s Spanish for “sexual harrassment”?

Tia Camen, may have understood the principal correctly, or she could have been politely turning his compliment aside. One definition of attendant, "a logical consequence or natural accompaniment ", could apply to the creamed spinach; however, I doubt it was what the principal meant.We know that Tia Carmen must be quite attractive because of events in earlier strips. Likewise, we also know that she can be quite naive at times.

i looked for a play on words in the spanish version of this strip, like ‘sirvienta’ and some similar word for serving or side dish in spanish but there doesn’t seem to be any. looks like she is simply turning aside his little compliment….

At one HS the vice principal was married to the Chem teacher. At another there were at least 3 married couples among the teachers and one of them was head of the math department and after I left she ended up getting promoted to director. I see no problem with administrators dating faculty.
