Yeah, and I think it’s gonna be a problem. You can’t grow a strip simply by rebooting for the previous audience, and you can’t have the white guy be the clueless guy on a black campus without that being the point. So here’s a solution: Bring on Bruce. Or someone. Slide him right in. Take your time, no hurry.
Yeah, I’m trying to make him not-too-clueless. We’ll start seeing that he’s not so naive and pretty insightful. But, yeah, I probably need a Bruce to shoulder the nerdy burden.
New Omar is pretty much old Omar except friendlier and less of a hermit. And a bit of a heartthrob to the sophomore girls into that ‘brooding, tortured’ thing.
If Kevin impressed Dana, he has to have substance that she recognized through their online discussions. I can’t imagine that simple unending nerdiness snagged her. We expect to see what it was that she saw.
Well, I’m not looking for him to carry it alone. He’s more like the Piper Chapman of the comic. The newbie that takes us into this world. But ultimately it’s (it’ll be) more of an ensemble type deal. And, like Piper, Kevin won’t have that newb stench forever. I’m going somewhere with him.
That popping sound you just heard was my brain…LOL…that was an unexpected twist in the road I did not see coming. Let me find out that Kevin got Catfished! Think I have to agree with Dimitri, would love to see Cory pop up. Even if it was just for a minute like Biz Markie when he said You…you’ve got what I need, and you say he’s just a friend!” Great job Cory.
We saw Cory– or at least heard about him– a few comics ago, in a surprising but very intriguing capacity, I think? I’m looking forward to seeing more of him too.

Reboot Omar is showing some distinct differences as well. He’s got a certain Peeno quality in his facial expressions.

I’m enjoying the near-parallel universe.

So you’re saying you expect to see his abs.
I miss Cory. I don’t think the “Kevin” character can carry the load.

We’ll be seeing more of Cory and Robin’s relationship soon. It’s probably not dysfunctional at all.
