    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?

      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”.

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

    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.
