ok, so i was looking at some strange college courses available across america, and i decided that heather needs to take this one:
Far Side Entomology
Oregon State 
The comic strip "The Far Side" featured a rich universe filled with interesting animals and bugs. Far Side Entomology professor Michael Burgett uses the comic strip as a teaching tool to explore interactions between humans and insects. About the course, Burgett says "The anthropomorphism in the cartoons makes an immediate connection between insects and people … Students take those connections farther, connecting to ideas and relationships they wouldn’t have imagined in a straight systematics course."
