Panel 1: One person walks up to another person sitting at a table with a pile of books and asks, "What are you reading?" The person sitting says, "Oh, it's for my criminology class. Some real messed up stuff in these readings, serial killers and such."
Panel 2: The person standing says, "Oh, fun." The person sitting says, "It's kinda fascinating in a morbid sort of way. You can look at one of them if you want."
Panel 3: The person standing reads out from the book. "I am driven to kill. Everyone else should do the same. Rip, tear, shred, as a matter of basic logic. They don't take you seriously. Make them." He stops quoting, then says, "Jesus, yeah."
Panel 4: The person standing says, "Wait a second, this is your international relations textbook." The person sitting says, "Easy mistake to make."

Panel 1: Two guys walk on campus. Guy one says "The worst part of Halloween season is the hope everyone feels before the midterms crush them." Guy two says "No, worst part is the malevolent spirits tormenting me."
Panel 2: They stop walking. Guy one says "You think everything's tormenting you." Guy two says "They're haunting me every waking moment, man! Look, they're even in my phone!"
Panel 3: Close-up of guy two's phone. The screen has an email on it that reads "Hello, this is your professor again. This is a final reminder: If you don't turn in your assignments, you will fail this class. Please submit your work. Best ..."
Panel 4: Image of the two guys. Guy one says "Uh, have you done any work this semester?" Guy two says "How am I supposed to do that with all these spirits tormenting me?"
