Bluesummers:
Where did the drink in Emily's hand go between frames 3 and 4?
...On someone's head?
Kugai:
She drunk it
It's why she passed out
kirtlandwarbler:
Tai's early discussions of her romantic entanglements refer to "drama on [her] dorm floor" (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=726).
Though some colleges do have a designated dorm for grad students (hell, I live in one right now), they tend to feel more like silent study-bubbles than the kind of place where you'd find that sort of drama. Given the previously referenced future-tense degree, it seems far more likely that she's referring to an undergrad dorm, thus further implying that she's probably in her early 20s. And it's becoming more common for undergrads to have TA-variety positions at schools, so that in of itself doesn't make it implausible. Jus'sayin'.

Just from experience... if any of you ever end up at the University of Oklahoma, and they tell you that they have a "graduate student only" building in their on-campus apartments, do not believe them. It is all lies. My roommate and I are literally the only graduate students in this building. Everyone else is an undergrad who likes to party very loudly every night. On the other hand, I learned that they recently stopped advertising the apartments as a "graduate student community." Found out when a visiting professor made fun of their website for referring to it as an "upperclass community," not realizing it means juniors/seniors, not upper-class/rich people.
(Sorry, I suppose this should go in the vitriol thread in the Chatter board, but it's a little bit relevant to kirtlandwarbler's comment)
Method of Madness:
He just mentioned that Marten and Faye were "around 25". I think Marten was 24 when he started dating Dora, since Dora was 26 and was older but not considerably so. Which is funny, now that I'm thinking about it, because when I was 24 I dated a 26 year old for pretty much the whole year of being 24. It ended better than Marten/Dora.
