This comic satirizes the act the students make on the new person in school. It used parody “hiss until you get used o her,” demonstrating students talking about the him/her, not giving the student a chance. This also illustrates that students tend to go along with it instead of against it.


 The writer in this article is using parody. Usually “nerds” go to college to get in their career quick so they can make money and be good at what they work in. In this case these nerds are in their 9th year in college wanting to major in every degree possible. They are criticizing the unwise decisions nerds can make.
