* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: [[https://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=658 One holiday arc]] features the classic ''Christmas Carol'' parody, casting the inattentive advisor Dr. Smith as Scrooge, his own old advisor as Marley, the Ghost of Winter Break Past who shows him his own days as a grad student, the Ghost of Winter Break Present who tries to get him to remember who his current students are, and the Ghost of Winter Break Future who shows him a possible tomorrow where he's relegated to administration duties with no time for research. Smith comes out of it having learned absolutely nothing.
