Can We Party Like It's 1984?

Today marks the 61st anniversary of the first publication of George Orwell's novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, one of the most famous books ever written. A previous blog post discusses the novel and how often it is mentioned in the Daria series and fanfiction (a lot). In fact, one newly written fanfic chapter has something about 1984 (look here).

A well-known character from one Dariaverse disappeared sixteen years ago today. See if you can guess who it was before you check the answer.

Is Trent Lane one of the Ten Sexiest Cartoon Musicians? An alert blog reader sent us the answer. Thank you!

  • The Hallowed Halls of Fielding, by Roentgen (Part 33): "Since I have all of your class schedules, I'm sure you'll have no problem with the times I've assigned. The oral will take place over finals week, in this classroom. A simple one-on-one to avoid any embarrassment." Goodlett passed a paper around. Quinn noticed her time. It was the very last of Goodlett's interrogations. Enough to make her sweat. Enough to give her false hope that she could ask any of the students in class about previous questioning.
  • Raft College: The First Year, by rglovejoy (Part 5): Daria walked out of her first calculus class a little shell-shocked. She sure wasn't in Lawndale anymore. Back in high school, they wasted a lot of time on nonsense, such as dealing with disruptive students. There were two in particular that came to mind...they were most likely in jail now, for vandalism or running a meth lab or something. Sometimes the teachers would show movies in class and other times they would go over material that had been covered many times before. None of this was so here.

"Who but Stacy could look good in that uniform?" he said while humming a few bars of 'Nikita'.

Allez klar, Herr Commissar?

No, that outfit is all wrong for Stacy. It should be in black leather. Although I'm sure she looks good in what she's not wearing under that coat.
