What's even more frightening is the cartoon from 3/17 in which Jeremy said that he was busy doing research for a history paper due the next day. His mother muses "Ah, research!

I actually thought the strip's language was a little stilted when he asked for the URL. I thought for sure he would ask for the name of the article and just google it.*
