Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, brenda. I've only been on this board for what, five years or so. I'll figure it out eventually.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's for Buffy, Steph. It's Dawn who's the centaur. It says she's gone through more bizarre changes.

The HELL? Okay, the whole giant thing was weird at first, but then I came around, and even started finding it workable within the storyline. But -- now a centaur?!? So, is she a GIANT centaur?

Goodness, I'll have to be sure to ask for the other cover.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't see the resemblance. And I'm still a little annoyed they have yet to define thricewise .

Why do I have the feeling that twenty issues down the line we'll see a jackalope in a tutu shouting "Get out! Get Out! GET OUT!!!" at Buffy ?

I'm confused as to Dawn's continuity. If, as mentioned in "All the Way," Dawn was a high school freshman in season six (though I was pretty sure she was a freshman in season five as well), and season 8 takes place about 1.5 years after the end of season 7, shouldn't Dawn be a high school senior? Yet she's been able to attend Berkley, obtain a boyfriend, sleep with his roommate, become a thricewise, and drop out of school.

But maybe I'm just more concerned with the characters' educations than I should be. I'm still wondering whether Willow was able to graduate from UC—Sunnydale before the town imploded, and what she was even studying.

Art Crawl!!!

Perhaps the UC system allowed surviving students to transfer in and finish their degrees.

Matt: Bwah!

Maybe the school just really liked Dawn's Extracurriculars and took a GED and "life experience" as a bonus.

No to mention, Dawn did go from like 0(or infinity) to 16 in like a nanosecond.

Dawn's timeline (I think), we know she's 14 when she shows up:

Season 5 - Freshman in HS (Buffy has to go and tell her their mom died while she's in art class)

Season 6 - Sophmore in HS (first kiss and Sweet can't have her, she's only 15)

Season 7 - Junior in new SDHS

Season 8 (with 1.5 year gap) - finish off HS "off-screen", College freshman
