| | This is very likely not [[Miss Lenhart]]. Her hair is the same, but the official transcript simply calls her "blonde", she's clearly a somewhat aimless student and not a teacher, and the strip does not fit the pattern stated as a certainty on her character page, where she is specifically named in every appearance. Also, this is a very early comic where Randall likely didn't have future characters in mind yet. So, I'm removing her name from the transcript.

| − | :Randall talks about Miss Lenhart only a few months later, in [[135: Substitute]]. It's impossible for us to know whether he had her in mind or not at this time, but the character ambiguity is standard for xkcd (not less so in the early ones). Since she is at least relevant in any investigation of Miss Lenhart, I'll include her in the categories, and it'll be open for everyone to make up their own minds! –[[User:St.nerol|St.nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]]) 20:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

| − | :::Even teachers were once aimless students. Perhaps this conversation inspired Lenhart to be a teacher 18:23, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

| − | ::::Well there is not reason to believe all blonde girls are Miss Lenhart, a young [[Mrs. Roberts]], or her daughter [[Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory Elaine Roberts]]. Hence a new character [[Blondie]] has been created after a [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#New_character_category_for_blonde_woman_news_reporter_.28from_1699.29|discussion]]. And this woman is then of course her. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 05:26, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

| − | Maybe I'mover-reading; but there is a bit of an implication that the asking girl is barely hiding her sense of superiority over the chosen profession of answering one. After all, lighthouse operations would seem an unambitious choice for a college graduate, and a profession not long for the modern world. However, surprisingly, responding girl provides a well-reasoned articulated explanation; all the more accentuated when contrasted with the aimlessness of the asking girl. Whatever superiority the asking girl may have felt at the start was clearly demolished by the end when she accepts a generic invitation to hang out at the lighthouse.
