Yeah I figure. There’s no winning with these guys, they’re just bullies plain and simple. Even when someone tries to appease them, they’ll find something else to bitch or mock about. Not worth the effort and looking forward when the little snots push their luck too far.
@Zack- I’ve seen several kinds. Back in school it was a open air shower nozzle with a long chain over a little drainage box you stand on. I guess it was meant to wash Chemical X out of your clothes with them still on you. The ones at my various workplaces all seem to involve kitchen sinks that have an end that you use to wash your eyeballs out with.
Chem. showers are a “everyone must own one” decision, even in locations where people have low chance to come in contact with chemicals. When you’re just wheeling around barrels of Something in real life, you’re going to be very much more careful than every training video I’m ever seen. Sure, it’s probably going to come in handy for someone, somewhere, but putting the CS boothless shower in a school location it will only ever be used to clean mud off of people and things when the gym cattle shower is in use.
Jerk 1 and Jerk 2 only want to play the “move the goalposts” game. To the surprise of no one, except Eric. Does his hope make him that stupid? Exposure to Vince? Or the way that school raises him?
I do have to admit, I now wonder what the temperature of the chemical shower is. It’s meant for chemical removal, and does not involve showering the person in chemicals, yes? Just to make sure that JB hasn’t snapped and wants a lead-in to a superpowers story.
Jenny, doing the fun things, asking no permission. Eric, always asking permission, never having any fun.
Just… introduce these two posers to Vince and let it go from there.

I had a feeling it’d go this way. Even if he tries to be cool, they’ll still end up making fun of him.
At least this strip didn’t end so badly, and Jenny does seem to be taking the comments well.
Face it, Eric. It’s better to be who you are then to have to contend with pleasing the normies.

Wait a sec. “THE” chemical shower, not “A” chemical shower? Did elementary schools back then really have those in their science classes?

I don’t get the kid’s insult in the last panel. Is this a reference to something?
TheJayster49: Yes it seems that way
And Eric just made a fool out of himself.
Is Jenny Eric’s only friend? I noticed she’s the only one he ever really hangs out with.
