    Long time visitor to Bloom County but maybe not old enough to catch what Steve is implying in that last panel. Can anyone enlighten me?

      I’ve always wondered this too…my best guess is that he’s referring to “prep school” since he strikes me as a “preppie”

      This seems like a bit of classist snobbery from Steve. He’s been established as a desperately social-climbing, immature frat boy who denies his origins and wears pleated khakis. “Prep” might be a bit of short hand for “Cutter John is not our kind”.

    Everything you need to know about how Steve deals with a crisis. He learns little, but the characters around him benefit immensely from the education. So many excellent arcs to come.
