--- Quote from: Wildroses on 26 Oct 2017, 22:55 ---Does anyone else find it very suspicious that Sam goes to a school that lets her not go if she's having personal development and life experience? Personally, I think she's racing to school to be picked up by a parent so they don't know she didn't go that day. Maybe she's going to get busted when Bubbles gives back the Skullmaster mask to her Dad via Marten. "It's from the day Sam spent at our robot repair shop... No, not a weekend, it was one of her personal development and life experience days...I'll just let myself quietly out while you are screaming at Sam..."

A few notes on this: PVPA, the school Sam attends, is in South Hadley, 12 miles from downtown Northampton. So Sam isn't going to go sprinting back to it. She probably takes the bus in (there's a PVPA bus that stops in downtown Northampton.)
Also, if she did skip school then Jim ought to know about it. Most schools these days notify the parents if their kid doesn't show up - on days my son is out sick I tend to get a robo-call about 10 AM informing me that he's not at school. (Even if I've already called the school to tell them he wouldn't be in.)
And while I don't know much about PVPA's attendance policies.... yeah, I'm not buying Sam's explanation. A progressive school might allow it with parental approval for a specific educational purpose. But just letting a kid cut out of school whenever they feel like it probably violates the law and certainly opens up a legal can of worms if anything happens to the kid when they are supposed to be at school.
Meanwhile, in other news, Bubbles now has her Halloween costume. :-D

Just dropping back into this one to say, I am truly disappointed in Faye actually speaking the word "Welp"....
:cry:

She said "howdy" and "whaddaya" two strips ago. I'd imagine those would be the more egregious examples to cry over if you cared enough to cry over her character development laxing language use...

Alternatively, its Saturday and as new small business owners Faye and Bubbles can't afford to take the weekends off completely.
