108.162.228.215: /* Transcript */ hierarchy -> heirarchy (typo in the comic)

{{comic
| number = 1682
| date = May 18, 2016
| title = Bun
| image = bun.png
| titletext = If a wild bun is sighted, a nice gesture of respect is to send a 'BUN ALERT' message to friends and family, with photographs documenting the bun's location and rank. If no photographs are possible, emoji may be substituted.
}}

==Explanation==
{{Incomplete|This explanation is less than one paragraph. Doesn't explain what a Bun is or anything about whether they are real or not. Please expand..}}
In this comic, [[Ponytail]] explains how the majority of society is woefully ignorant of the facts about Buns. [[Megan]] plays the part of an ignorant student that hasn't yet learned the importance of Bun ranking to society, and her classmates inform her of that.

==Transcript==

:[Ponytail is holding a pointer to a picture of a rabbit on a board.]
:Ponytail/Teacher: Good morning class! Today, we will be learning about the bun.

:[Two rabbits are shown, one slightly smaller, and a greater than symbol is pointed at the smaller one.]
:Ponytail/Teacher: Buns have a heirarchy.
:Ponytail/Teacher: A bun's rank is determined by its size. Smaller buns are higher-ranking.

:[Two larger rabbits are around a very tiny rabbit. The smaller rabbit appears to give off a radiant light.]
:Ponytail/Teacher: Most buns you see are relatively low-ranking.
:Ponytail/Teacher: But this time of year, a lucky few may catch a glimpse of a ''king bun''.

:[Megan is sitting at a desk with a few books on it, pencil in hand.]
:Megan/Student: Ok, hang on.
:Megan/Student: We're talking about rabbits and hares, right? Lagomorphs?

:[Ponytail is holding her finger up on her left hand, and is holding her pointer at her side with the other.]
:Ponytail/Teacher: Informally, yes. But in this course, we use the ''scientific'' term, "bun".
:Megan/Student: (off-panel) Are we sure this is the right room for ''introductory mammalogy?''
:Student #2: (off-panel) I'll check online.
:Student #3: (off-panel) ''Shh!'' Show respect! We look upon the image of a king!

Just like I have it now. I'm on the day 6 I think... ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Cold viruses evolve so quickly that every year your immunity to last year virus is useless. Also note that the "people will stay clear of you if you do come in" behavior is older than offices: visible (and audible) symptoms make people avoid close contact with you, therefore it is advantageous for the virus to avoid causing them as long as possible. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 13:50, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the "skin crawling" symptom. Is that just a weird name for some other symptom? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.107|108.162.218.107]] 14:25, 4 December 2015 (UTC) Gus

;Incomplete notice says "First draft please improve if you can. Change from second person to third person."

So I should change it to say "First draft please improve if he can"?

Skin crawling means (I think) you feel like you have ants crawling on your skin. I have felt that at times, however I didn't recognize the phrase right away - it took a bit of thinking (my first language is not English).
