I hate Catcher in the Rye (YEAH I SAID IT) but damn, do I love coffee. Does that make me a half-student? D:

I'm in the same boat.

Catcher in the Rye's for self-entitled shits, i.e. college freshmen. This is possibly the most accurate representation of college life I've ever seen. You should write books.

Hey... I like Catcher in the Rye...

Then may I accuse you of being a phony?

I bought the book for a quarter at a garage sale. I never bothered to read it.

Oh, I love you. Just a little.

Awww, shucks XP

Make more comics plssss

Working on it! I am using guest strip time as an excuse to write more plot.

Good man!

Coffee, it makes you look smarter...even if you don't actually drink any of it.

I only really drink coffee that has frilly syrup crap and chocolate cream and whatnot it so that it's like eating candy.

Same here, if it's no frufru, then I don't want it.

The Catcher in the Rye is probably why there are so many fucking hipsters at my college that love to shit all over conversations. But damn do I love coffee.

Salinger has a lot to answer for!

I kid you not. Today I overheard a conversation over Pitchfork fans. Hipsters LOVE Pitchfork. Then one guy came over and said "I dunno, Pitchfork got too....big."

I am still trying to figure out if it was a joke or if hipsters have their own extreme hipster fraction.

The furry community grants agouti-rex free license to be a jerk wherever he pleases. This is because we know he is the only one who would use such power responsibly.

I'm only a jerk because I am constantly dogged by a sense of utter failure and I need to belittle others to boost my own esteem.

I read Catcher in the Rye when I was in high-school..

.. Was I the only one that got a creepy pedo vibe from that book? Also 200 pages of some drunkard racist pessimistic droning on and on about.. something. Does this for the entire book until the very last page he's like "Welp I gotta have hope for the future!" as he walks into the sunset like nothing happened. That's the only parts I remember other than him talking about (or at least relating to) a cumshot.

Granted, it's been ten-something years since I've read this book. I remember drawing the rye fields with children in it and some guy with a literal fishing net back then to kiss up to the teacher, but it's lost to the ages.

No, you've pretty much got it right. I read it in high school and remember benig really unimpressed with it. I suppose it was pretty subverive back when it was published in 1951, just because there were fewer books back then that purported to speak about the youth condition. Also it contained swearing, which I guess made people go WOW THIS BOOK IS TOTALLY EDGY AND IN YOUR FACE. When I read it, I just got annoyed with how meandering and pointless the whole thing was. Also, I didn't really find the existential angst of a rich white kid with no problems all that gripping.

Thankfully I never had to read it, but I did read something called the Haj, which was so bad, I wanted to pretend it was against my religion to read it, but read it anyway. It was rubbish.

that's how I felt about 1984

Christ.

I was hoping my nostalgia would cloud my perceptions of the book, but it's depressing to hear it's the same after all these years. I felt the same way too.

HA! Great strip!

The sad part is that's been true for about 100 years (yes, it was true 40 years BEFORE the book was written). The book is indeed for self-entitled sh*ts. And that goes double for Atlas Shrugged (or anything else by Ayn Rand).

UGH Atlas Shrugged XC So much hate!

Why does everyone LOVE that book so much? I tried to read it, but found it terribly boring.

The Catcher in the Rye didn't have as much homosexual molestation as I had been led to believe. I was very disappointed. AND NEITHER DOES THIS STRIP
FOR SHAME MAN, MORE DICKS
i love how you draw these cute guys :3

Yeah, one hair ruffling does not a molestation make

I thought Catcher in the Rye was more of a High School book but then again collage is so early in the states. I was made to read it in high school and had no particular feelings about it one way or the other.

Funny, I didn't drink coffee very much at all while in college. Which was probably why I found myself falling asleep in class on a few occasions.

I went through my entire college experience without drinking one cup of coffee. Also, I read catcher in the Rye in middle school and didn't understand it at all.
