see I just know that jack had to go through psych evals as part of the fallout of the overdose which 100% meant he sat down in a chair and a professional looked at him and went "hmm. Autism." and then jack just never thought about it again

Anyone know what's the average retention rate for a college hockey team? Ie how many kids who start their school on the team actually stick around for the rest of the year, much less all the way to graduation?

One of the jokes from the very beginning of the comic was how SMH is a full-sized hockey team, but nobody or so pays attention to the 18 or so other players who aren't on main.

And it's lampshaded some more in the shot where Dex glances suspiciously at his teammates:

There's also this Y1/Y4 juxtaposition concerning the class of '17.

Now naturally having just the named characters in the shot has the function of keeping the narrative tighter and panel uncluttered. And in-universe, there are differing levels of involvement within the team (eg the Frogs didn't join the O6 on the rooftop).

However it does raise the hilarious possibility that, despite the claims of ~18 other players*, SMH is a ridiculously tiny team with a high dropout rate and lots of empty cubbies.

*If we use the Haus tours as a benchmark of how many frogs join the team (5 kids during Bitty’s first year and 6 kids for the Tadpoles), the gross upper boundary of the team would be at around 20-24 (irl ECHC hockey rosters tend to range 24-30).

It's fun to imagine something truly wild happening with that first pie Bitty made for SMH, but realistically I do not think it would take much for him to be as scandalized as he acts. Here are two scenarios I could easily imagine:

There are no clean plates, or not enough. He has to put slices directly into peoples hands for them to eat that way. What would his mama think?

The pie is left unattended long enough for people to grab forks and start eating scoops directly from the tin instead of cutting it up into pieces. Some people put forks that have been in their mouths back into the pie. The horror.

I can't believe Ngozi is reposting Check Please to Webtoons as weekly episodes. We're really gonna relive the entire comic run, revisit the complete spectrum of discourse. This is our Dracula Daily.

this webtoon era feels like we're all in the check please reread sleepover eagerly turning every rerelease and recontextualization of content in our brains like a rotisserie chicken. we're like swifties eating up every taylor's version drop. mr bitty would hate that comparison but he can't deny the profound truth contained in it
