Again, a blithering idiot, with a “mind” living in an alternate universe!!!

There seem to be a number of American “Andy Capps” in the comics—Zonker, Zipper, Dustin, etc.

What’s scary is that this empty head syndrome isn’t drug related.

Zipper is destined for the single life.

They interviewed Republican congresscritters that voted against IVF… Some didn’t even know what the acronym stood for.

Zonker never dated because he’s gay.

Great to see him ahead of the curve and committing to cricket : the World Cup comes to America this year !

Slackers do have their idols. They’d erect statues to them, but nah

I once had a dream in college that I signed up for a course, forgot about it, and then suddenly realized mid terms were coming up, and I hadn’t attended a single class.

Zonker had pot to take the place of women back then!! lol

I seem to remember that Zonker was stoned most of the time (implied if not stated outright). Zipper is not honoring that fine tradition, he is just a lazy idiot.

Cricket, not to worry our group will try to take care of him. We deal with the homeless in San Diego.

Ideally, college is a time when you try a number of different (survivable) things. Such education is both formal and informal. If you drift along, go to parties and demonstrations because “other people are doing it”, it’s a waste of time and money.

It’s nice that she cares, anyway. IIRC Boopsie went through college in a total subservient daze (and, unlike Zipper and Cricket, it’s been confirmed that she and B.D. had sex); I’m not sure when she started getting brighter and more independent.

His sort never breed. But somehow they multiply exponentially.

Either that, or he was just too busy snorkeling in that puddle.

There’s a 12 Step programme saving Zipper a seat.
