Suitable for drinking. Water is said to be potable; indeed, some declare it our natural beverage, although even they find it palatable only when suffering from the recurrent disorder known as thirst, for which it is a medicine. Upon nothing has so great and diligent ingenuity been brought to bear in all ages and in all countries, except the most uncivilized, as upon the invention of substitutes for water. To hold that this general aversion to that liquid has no basis in the preservative instinct of the race is to be unscientific -- and without science we are as the snakes and toads.

A joke about one's own campus's policies is too parochial. But this comic is saved by "But you let Hermley and Ronley steal food!".

Meh. Too political. Kinda funny, though. I'd say...fair.

O dict.org, here my prayers, mumble, mumble... parochial adjective: "having or characterized by narrow interests centered on oneself or one's local community" or "narrowly restricted in outlook or scope" wood noun: "a golf club with a long shaft used to hit long shots" chipper adjective: "having a cheerful, lively, and self-confident air" I understand the comment about the strip being parochial, but where will I find a sufficiently confident golf club for stuffing Hermley and Ronley?

No, no, a confident golf club is a "chipper wood". For a "wood chipper", see the movie Fargo.

I think this comic was a good idea lost in translation. It's ALL about the presentation!

Oh gawd, campus dining. No campus dining plan ever works right.
