Commentary from the most important and leading critics of the science of Cartoonology:
I find this strip hard to make out.
Do you mean, you don't get it, or you can't see it through your hair.

Scruff, you've been in grad school a while now, so they probably didn't have this when you started, but TODAY, you can put all your books in a iPad.
What? I Pad? What? I have to carry pad's too, that's where I write my notes!
Now it's called "iPad" you know a digital tablet? e-reader?
What? You first years are so difficult.
