Someone needs to get slapped.
Simply put but very true. No whether she gets around to physically slapping the idiot principal or just slapping him with a lawsuit is left to be seen. I'd go for the latter since most administrators tend to wet themselves at the mere mention of litigation.

I think everyone can agree that someone has to get a beating.

*looks at thread title*

Shouldn't this be "The vixen stops here"?

Well...since Mrs. Mudd is a Lawyer...It's not like she can't afford it.
"Yes, yes I'll admit I tuned you out but in my defense its because I've already figured out you're stupid." Dr. Rodney McKay Stargate: Atlantis

"Did you say mattress?,...I did ask you not to. Now I have to get into the fish tank and sing."

And how exactly is she going to pull that off? She can't support herself and Millie, and educate her daughter simultaneously. This came up once before in the comic - if Ms. Mudd steps far enough away from the lawyering business to effectively homeschool her offspring, the Mudds will go broke very quickly.

Well to me at least she seems well off. Granted I don't have complete information on her income...its just how it seemed to me.

Besides...something like this little event might be a catalyst for change in their life.

Sayyy. Llewellyn is rich. If he and Ms. Mudd get married, she won't have to work anymore!

Complete enough. You're dealing with a middle-class family in an era where the middle class has to work increasingly hard to maintain their position. And as Ms. Mudd pointed out in a prior strip, self-employed single parents don't get much sympathy from the tax man - not that anybody does.

Note that lawyers are paid based on services rendered. If she stops working for any length of time, her income instantly drops to zero.

Hahahahaha.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...
