Ask The Handbook

Answers any policy question straight out of your own handbook.

One question, four slow routes to the answer, one closed binder, and a direct path drawn dashed A line drawing. Top left, a question: three short stacked rules and, to their right, a small ring that every route leaves from. Four thin routes fan out of the ring. The first is a long shallow S that crosses the whole frame, rises over a closed binder, runs right and drops to an open ring at the bottom right; it is the longest line on the page and the only route that reaches an answer. The second runs right and slightly down to a small sheet whose top rule is struck through. The third curves down and right to the front cover of the binder and stops there, with nothing continuing past the cover. The fourth is a single hairline running steeply down to a short bar drawn across its end, drawn over itself again and again without moving. Center right, the binder: a paper-filled body with fine diagonal hatching inside, a narrow spine band on its left, and a heavy front cover edge on its right, the darkest mark on the page. It never opens. Last, started after the four routes and finished before any of them, a dashed line leaves the inside of the binder behind its closed cover and runs left and up toward the question. After the drawing is complete, one short rule appears beside the question.

They have a question.

How do I call out sick?
What did we say the rules were around academic integrity?

Each one is just extra time.

They find an old email.

The handbook wasn’t updated.

Back and forth with someone.

One that takes a while.

One question, four slow routes to the answer, one closed binder, and a direct path drawn dashed A line drawing, stacked top to bottom. At the top left, a question: three short stacked rules and a small ring that every route leaves from. Four thin routes fan out of the ring. The first is a long S that crosses the top of the frame, runs down the right side over a closed binder and drops to an open ring at the bottom right; it is the longest line on the page and the only route that reaches an answer. The second runs right and down to a small sheet whose top rule is struck through. The third curves down to the front cover of the binder and stops there. The fourth is a single hairline running steeply down to a short bar drawn across its end, drawn over itself again and again without moving. In the lower half, the binder: a paper-filled body with fine diagonal hatching inside, a narrow spine band on its left, and a heavy front cover edge on its right, the darkest mark on the page. It never opens. Last, started after the four routes and finished before any of them, a dashed line leaves the inside of the binder behind its closed cover and runs up toward the question. After the drawing is complete, one short rule appears beside the question.

Ask The Handbook. Four slow routes to the answer, and one direct one, drawn dashed because that route didn’t exist before. Scoped and priced per school.
