So good to see Tai again. I remember her first appearance. She cracked a joke: “Dewey Decimal System? Do we ever!”
Probably Spookybot is Anonymous.
I have decided that Claire is taking the library special forces exam, in which she is charged with cataloging texts in untranslated ancient languages, devising LC call numbers for branches of knowledge that do not yet exist, telling which blue book with kind of swirly letters in the title a long-dead patron was looking for, tracking down the reclusive author Anonymous and finding out their real name, and parachuting into a burning library to retrieve a crucial archive. So far as she knows, this is the exam everyone takes. They won't let her know till it is time to activate her.
Sooooo, she is basically taking the standard librarian exam...
I still think it's a hypothetical conversation
Of all the fugue states that Tai has experienced, mid-exam fugue is her least favourite.
What kind of monstrous exam is long enough to need a meal break?!?
Oh, there are plenty even after school. I graduated a long time ago and have a certification exam at the end of the month that's 6 hours long with a break.
At first I thought the apple in Clare's hand in the first panel was a chunk of her hair...was worried for a second there !
Those are cute shorts on Thai
Fiddling while the exam burns. It burns so good.
And teh fiddling ain't bad either.
Claire needs to take a nap when she gets home
I couldn't tell that Claire was sitting down at first and my first thought was DAAAAAMN TAI'S TALL
This is the first time 'tall' has been in the same sentence as 'Tai' without being preceded by 'not (very)'.
I love Claire’s hair at this length.
I'm just amazed she gets a break in the middle of an exam, to be honest. Unless it's a break between two different exams, then that makes sense. Poor Claire, I hope she does well. I enjoyed exams but they were still a headache to sit through. So many hours. So many horribly uncomfortable chairs...
