This is not a scare-tactic.  Coach Surge is just very desperate for runners.  #hallway100

Running coaches answer every problem with running.  Depression, run!  Tired, run!  Hyper, run!  Didn’t study enough, well, fail the test and then run!  Get mugged–you did not run fast enough.  😛

Also, how do you like the new comic redesign?  We’re considering launching the teal as the new color for the 2014 comics.  It’s been the backbone of Hallway 100 since, literally, the hallway is painted teal.
