Ageing students

I've been furiously reading Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire to Gaby at bedtime, with the delusional and unrealistic goal of finishing Book 6 before the movie comes out in late July (SPOILER ALERT BELOW). I'm on the last chapter, Book 5 is looking huge and well, there's less than 2 months left. But I want to be the one who reveals Dumbledore's death, dammit! Maybe I'll convince Gaby to wait till the DVD comes out. Anyway, how does this relate to this week's cartoon? Only tangentially but just as I'm rushing through the books, the movie makers are rushing to finish off the films before the supposed 17 year olds hit middle age. After all, they started making these movies over 10 years ago. The winning punchline was submitted by cap10rob. There were 23 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #585 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2009-07-02.

Eric		OK, one more time. It's the year 2035; it's the sequel after the 20 year reunion sequel. We're married and have three kids; one wizard and two muggles. We're here for a PTA meeting, and you had a little too much to drink last night, OK? Rating: 3.50 | No of Ratings: 12 | Submitted Fri 12 Jun 06:29 AM | Rate:
