    I don't recall being decapitated in my childhood.

    Don't see too many of those around college either.

    non-decapitated '10

    Princeton's been letting in a lot of decapitated kids recently... too many people with heads = not enough diversity = lower USNews rankings

    Not Worth It

    I'm very confused and disturbed by this cartoon.

    1) Not sure how it is supposed to be funny...we're stuck between being kids and being adults, so wouldn't it be funny if someone was in PJs with a bra and shot glass? No.

    2) Adulthood and college are being represented in really repulsive ways. Breasts and goblets are not what being an adult is about, nor are Pokemon shot glasses how I define my college years.

    3) The idea of a Pokemon shot glass is funny, but the bra thing is weird and a little inappropo and the shot glass and martini glasses just contributes to a culture that define college by alcohol consumption.

    I ran across the Harvard Crimson cartoons last night - they are miles ahead of the Prince's: http://www.thecrimson.com/image/2009/12/14/clas...

    stop printing cartoons in the Prince.... This actually makes no sense, nor is it funny in the slightest

    I get it

    It's funny because college is, for many girls, the awkward time of trying to let go of childhood and accept adulthood. They cling to Miley Cyrus yet complain when they don't get laid/haven't lost their V-card.

    @Not Worth It:
    The reason I included martini glasses and lingerie in the adult world is that I think there's a mature way to relate to alcohol and sexuality that a lot of students (at least a highly visible portion) just haven't reached.

    Also, I've heard tell of people actually going to eating clubs in their onsies. Just sayin'.
