    The last thing I thought these two will ever do is ASK to join forces. Weren’t they all about henchmen applications?

    I wonder what the norms at the school make of Victor. Candles at lunch? Bottle of wine?

    For that matter, how did that last get past the teachers?

    1. sstabeler

      it’s supposed to be non-alcoholic wine.

    2. Wanderer

      If it’s non-alcoholic wine, it’s grape juice. As long as the office knows that, and the bottle is shatterproof, they really won’t care.

        Not with modern zero-tolerance policies.

          Yeah, it may have been fine taking bows and arrows in when I was at school and knifes were frowned on and now such things would cause big issues. Ps238 will really object to a bottle.

        2. Slimecat

          I used to have a pair of sharp, and not blunted or plastic safety, pair of scissors wrapped in a Styrofoam fishing lure in my pencil box. It didn’t really become an issue until I attended middle school. Even back in my day they had a problem with collapsable nail files. Now a days I’d probably be flagged as a terrorist… then again considering how I was treated for sneaking a water balloon on the bus a week before third grade ended, I probably already was.

          Believe it or not, I was taken to the principal’s office in middle school for unbending a paperclip! The teacher claimed that it was “clearly intended as a makeshift weapon.”

          Luckily, our principle was a pretty sensible guy, and nothing actually came of it in the end, but it only cemented my dislike for that particular teacher!

          *principal, not principle

          School administration never had a problem with pocketknives in my day, at least in middle or high school, as long as you weren’t a chronic troublemaker.

          They still had tighter rules than in my dad’s day, though – he kept his .22 rifle and ammo in his locker for after-school shooting with the high school’s rifle and pistol club, and back in 6th grade his teacher required the boys to bring their pocketknives to school.

          Different eras, different policies.

    Heh. Loved that line, “Tastes like peanut butter. What else?”

    I just got the joke that he let pass– since he always eats alone– ha!

    1. Ptharien's Flame

      I don’t get the joke. What is it? :O

      1. Prairie Son

        Victor is more cultured than Zodon’s usual lunch partner.
        Zodon eats lunch only with himself (no one else can stand him–note Victor’s a solo act too)
        Victor is therefore saying he’s more cultured than Zodon.

        It’s less a joke than a more subtle insult than these two typically use.

        1. Ptharien's Flame

          Oh, ok! I though Zodon was making a joke, but couldn’t figure out what it might be. 😛

        2. Mike

          Another possibility – Zodon has been shown in past issues interacting with other PS238 kids during lunchtime, including eating with some of them once. Victor could have been referring to them initially, and his “I’ll just let that one go” comment is simply him refraining from taking advantage of the perfect opening for an insult that Zodon walked into (after all, it’s not good business sense to open a proposal by insulting your potential partner).

  5. Dahigi

    Is it just me, or does he look like Alex from ‘A Clockwork Orange’?

    1. ed rhodes

      Yes I was thinking that;

      “There was me, that was Victor and my three droogies that were… um… come to think of it. I don’t have any droogies, just henchmen. Would you like an application?”
