I learned a word today! Although if it's a portmanteau of grind and crunch, shouldn't it just be grunch? Where's the a from?

The word crunch is descended from the earlier word craunch.

ODE says it was cranch.

was Allie not the initially-naked TA in Tai's room that Marten(?) ran into in that one strip and started lighting up a bong?

Follow the link - cranch has the variant form craunch.  Probably derived from scranch (which also has the form scraunch).

Heh!  My spell-checker doesn't want me to write any of those.

I went back and found the comic where she introduces herself, and apparently her name is Annette.

Method of Madness:
She's also not a TA, she's a professor.
