College Ho!, page 9
on September 18, 2012 at 12:01 amLook, if you’re reading this thing and thinking “what the fuck dude,” I am right there with you.
Man, what an unfortunate place for a pagebreak. See you in 24 hours for the second half of Sal’s sentence. It may or may not make it better.

*Nods head slowly* Yep, that sounds about right.
I’m really not sure what the punchline is here?
That Danny is at real risk of going to jail and forced to go on a registered sex offender list, ruining his entire life and future, probably be thrown out of college on his first day, and that NOTHING she can say or do would stop the process once it starts?
That any passing stranger who doesn’t know either of them at all can on an idle whim, report him and it will have just as much legal bearing as if she herself chose to report to the police that he beat her half to death and raped her brutally?
That if they never in their lives came within 6 feet of each other physically but someone else reported that he raped her, the baseless accusation alone would get him thrown out of college just as certainly as if he’d actually committed the crime in the middle of the cafeteria at noon in front of 100 witnesses?
Alright… I’ll get down off my soapbox… but seriously, I have no idea what part of that was even INTENDED to be funny, or a punchline.
EDIT: Ah, IC. It’s on the next page. Timing comics can be tricky, and this is an earlier work, after all.
To answer her implied question… pretty sure whoever has the boy-parts still goes to jail.
“Equality” is funny that way. >.>
Oh no, an MRA guy!
To be honest, I think something quite different from “WTF” on that last panel.
I think “What color is that shirt?”
It will be better!
Only if 18 is the actual age of consent, unless they’re suffering from socalisation.
Which it isn’t, in Indiana, unless Danny has a role of authority over Sal (guardian, teacher, etc).
Yep. You made me look it up. Age of consent is 16, with a “close in age” exception for 14-15 if the older person is less than 18.
I feel dirty now.
In Indiana, that is to say. If it wasn’t clear.
I feel dirty in Indiana now.
Note that a lot of kids don’t know that and have heard “18 is the limit” for so long that they just assume it’s true. Dr House’s stalker made the same oopsies.
18 is the age of consent in California, where most movies and TV programs are made, so if AOC is ever mentioned at all, the number is stated as 18. Said programs are then watched across the continent. There’s the source of confusion.
I believe it’s also 18 in New York, where the rest of the movies and TV shows are set.
Why is the statue’s “no-no spot” answering for Sal?
They’re hearing things. Clearly it’s gotten them high.
I’m looking forward to the rest of this sentence.
So the theme is still that Sal’s horny, right?
Oh, YoungWillis, you were such a bad writer.
“…but what’s the legal term for when a minor rapes an adult?!” is it, I believe, but I’m home for the weekend and left my book on campus.
Alternatively, “… which I think means “having sexual relations with a statue. So here’s a statue, let’s get it on.”
Yikes. From the tweet about this strip, I was expecting, like, bad art or something.
I kinda sorta want Danny’s face in panel 2 as my avatar on pretty much every account I have. It’s just too funny.
Well…okey-dokey. PS I love the disapointed look on Sal’s face it’s just fantastic.
Danny’s expression in panel 3 reminds me of Charlie Brown.
I think it’s only statutory rape if one of the parties was under *sixteen,* and Sal is is college so that wouldn’t make sense. The law is a bit ridiculous really. Even with videotaped, contracted consent, one of them is going to jail for rape.
She’s not, actually. She’s a year behind Danny and Joe.
