I think it's "Ms. Eables."

2023-01-07 07:39:55 +0000 UTCMs. ??? (can't read her name, is it Gables?): "Sir, you've got a call from Representative Robin DeSanto on line one." Dean McHenry: "Put her through, Ms. ???." Robin: "Hey, Deany, what are the happs?" Dean McHenry: "Hello, Congresswoman." Robin: "Yeah, look, I'm trying to get re-elected in a month, an' it'll be totes sweet if your school keeps from havin' more of the shooty-shoot, okay?" Robin: "If you don't have another one, how's about I send you a (gift? neat? idk) basket?" Dean McHenry: "Congresswoman, this is not productive. Please don't waste my time." Robin: "Aw crap, I forgot to put on my nerd glasses." Robin: "There. Yo, Deany, do I sound smarter now?" Dean McHenry: "Goodbye, Congresswoman."

2015-12-01 15:08:03 +0000 UTCActually, I think this is what SP! Congresswoman DeSanto would have been like to her constituents, too. We generally only saw her with her friends, but even she generally admitted to being a really bad legislator--and in the U.S. House, that's really saying something.

2015-12-01 05:46:20 +0000 UTCEven her sex-crazed thing was an act; she was actually a virgin up until the "Desanto-Manley Act". A lot of what we saw of her in Shortpacked, coasting through life and working at the toy store, was an effort to hide from or compensate for her deeper insecurities.

2015-11-30 08:11:01 +0000 UTCSpeaking as someone who's been re-reading Shortpacked over the past year: any awesomeness Robin had there was due to Leslie. Take that relationship away and she's just an immature person who would rather coast through life than apply herself. In the case of this continuity, "coasting" includes "being in Congress".

2015-11-30 05:18:52 +0000 UTCalso i think you forget that Robin is putting on an act. She's an extremely immature, whiley, sex crazed woman just like in shortpacked. However in this universe she has the ambition to work out an important career. However combine that ambition to get things done with a cynical, silly, over the top personality and you get someone who is very much in your face about how she's manipulating you and immaturely whines whenever you dont get manipulated. I mean she spoke to him basically the same way she did her sister about making sex tapes. "Ok kid, would be TOTALLY awesome if you wouldnt do that anymore. If you dont i'll get you a treat, hows that sound?"

2015-11-29 18:35:17 +0000 UTCWell, Robin's just a background character in this universe, and I'm actually glad she's not in the focus. Shortpacked was in a large part Robin and Leslie's story, and I'm very happy for it to stay that way.

2015-11-29 17:52:14 +0000 UTCHa ha, politicians nowadays seem to think that building a huge wall will solve everything, don't they?
Theron Gilliland, Jr.
2015-11-29 17:46:04 +0000 UTCSo it appears that Robin has been reduced to a stupider Sarah Palin (as if that's even possible), and all her Shortpacked awesomeness has been stripped out and placed in Dina and Becky.

2015-11-29 12:38:32 +0000 UTCReminds me of the time the Congresswoman tried to ban all cancer forever in Shortpacked.

2015-11-29 11:06:41 +0000 UTCGlasses totally make you sound smarter. You can really hear her doing "sexy librarian congressperson" now (says the Leslie in my head.)
Strangeshapes
2015-11-29 09:33:23 +0000 UTCI suspect Robin was just bored and felt like trolling someone. I don't recall her ever being this *unintentionally* stupid.

2015-11-29 07:07:38 +0000 UTCPoor Dean McHenry is doomed to be the straight man to any given loon no matter the universe. At least he's less likely to get killed here.

2015-11-29 06:44:30 +0000 UTCWe've missed you Robin.
Corwin Haught
2015-11-29 06:35:17 +0000 UTCYes, Robin, because campus shootings are TOTALLY something the Dean can control. Well, maybe he could, but that's more YOUR area I think.
Katherine Pollack
2015-11-29 06:33:10 +0000 UTCI _think_ Robin is telling the Dean to not have more shootings on campus. Precisely how he is to keep them from happening is a bit vague. Possibly he could just send everybody home and build a huge wall around the whole campus.

2015-11-29 06:18:10 +0000 UTCI do not understand what is going on here at all

2015-11-29 06:15:12 +0000 UTCDespite the fact that all we see is Dean McHenry, this is really a Robin DeSanto strip.
