    Ah, conceptual art… See, the *theory* is that there’s a new cartoon posted..but the practice? Incisive meta-commentary!

    I love how quickly these comments degenerated. And by “love” I mean “cried at”. Obviously the comic exists, it is gone due to problems.

    I like how she draws clouds. Those are super.

    I’m going to hazard a guess at http://www.ets.org/gre/

    The GRE is a high school equivalency test.

    Cat is absolutely correct. If you make sufficiently witty conversation over chips and salsa, employers will not think to contemplate how you did on your GRE.

    The GED is a high school equivalency test. The GRE is required to get into graduate school.

    Or maybe cat is letting her know he did terribly. After all, if your grade is “chips and salsa” on a test where you pass on a percentile basis, chances are you sucked at it greatly. Or chips and salsa is cat’s comfort food for doing terribly on it. like alcohol is for me! You could easily replace “liquor” for “chips and salsa” in this comic and it still applies

    The GRE is a brand of chips. Or possibly a brand of salsa.

    All that and passing up the easy punchline. Not “How did you do on the GRE” but “What did you get on the GRE”. But I’m lazy. Wordplay is always easier than high concept.

    I’m tired of people complaining about the posture in these comics. Chiropractors are expensive. Back pain is not.

    Chiropractors are also hacks

    My answer is usually chips and hummus. Or falafel. Or both…
    When there’s confusion I usually just revert to 42.

    I’m going to be 42 soon.
