I should mention that I truly believe everything Scot says, here. I also know that most people see a jury summons as a bigger inconvenience than an ingrown toenail.

Reg has a degree in civil engineering, and he has been the Chief Administrator of Maintenance Services in the district through seven superintendents and three rotations of the Board of Trustees. Reg has the kind of job security you get if you not only know where all the bodies are buried, but where to get a shovel, and who’s been asking.

Dougie is the least-liked character of the entire cast. So, of course, I devoted an entire arc to him.

We will meet Reg’s sister-in-law later in the comic.

Happy Dia de los Muertos (or solemn and dignified All Saint’s Day, I don’t judge).
