Um... The mother of a teacher? From 135, 416, and 499.

Am I missing something important?

Okay, so evidently this is a real person.
Okay, this is Kira's mom.

Oh no. The character in 135 and 499 is clearly referred to as Miss Lenhart, whereas my comic references Mrs. Lenhart, and I'm placing the edited strip in the same time frame as 275. I also assume chronological order and strip number have a positive correlation. Yay for implicit assumptions.
