* VanillaProtagonist: The protagonist is simply a generic representative of a grad student who doesn't even have a name. Compared to TheSlacker Mike, the constantly overworked Cecelia, the GranolaGirl Tajel and his much more irresponsible sister Dee, his character really doesn't stand out and is often interchangeable with the sea of other grad students he shares a lab with. Probably the reason why he often gets OutOfFocus in favour of the aforementioned side characters.

* Not really funny. Have you ever read one of these and actually *laughed*? Smug feelings of identifying with the characters does not count as laughter. I have a theory that no-one has ever actually laughed at a PhD Comic in the history of the universe.
