Fall has fell

One thing that's kind of cool about where we live is that you can tell when the seasons change. This past weekend, it became fall. The change in seasons reminded me of this old 121 cartoon.
Back in college (when this strip ran in the student newspaper) I had several friends who looked for any excuse to skip classes and stay in bed. Those same people are now doctors, lawyers and teachers. Meanwhile, I draw cartoons. Is there a message here?
