Mickiana said:Yes, it looks the college was hard up for faculty office space or, as you say, Professor Jones wasn't in someone's favour. The artefacts on the make shift shelving aren't even on display. They are just crammed there. Makes me wonder if there was something deleted that explained this unlikely office setting.
'Twas a late '82/early '83 Marvel advertisement page for "Further Adventures" issue #2 (more than 6 years before "Crusade" was released).Montana Smith said:There's a page from a comic book showing Indy in a crammed office. Can't find it right now, and can't recall whether it was depicting this scene or whether it was expanded universe.

Remember this thread, started in July 2008? John Byrne's Indiana Jones
Harvey's & JuniorJones' scans were true Christmas presents in December 2010!

Could it be a desk or table with folding wings?Mickiana said:His desk is so small it's got a board on top to increase it's area,
This is probably the case because Henry Jones' name isn't on the door anywhere. It could be just a storage space nearby his classroom.WilliamBoyd8 said:I always thought he was hiding out from his students, especially love-sick girls, in a storeroom.
He probably has an official office someplace.
The boilers for a building that size would be huge so it's possible that this room could have been part of a small add-on that required it's own heating system.Finn said:Could be it's simply another repurposed room, but unless it's canonically explained, I'm still calling that some wildly peculiar building layout planning. As if someone saw beforehand that the boiler room could be used as an office at some point.
You're welcome, Smiff. It's a great illustration. Love the bitten sandwich!Smiffy said:Thanks, Stoo. That's the one, of course. I couldn't find it anywhere!
I love hearing about personal experiences. Hey, Goodeknight, have you ever seen the movie, "Office Space"? There is a funny bit where a guy gets his desk relegated to the basement.Goodeknight said:Incidentally, when I was teaching in South Central Los Angeles, the whole school district was beyond capacity. (Still is.) My room, where I taught English as a Second Language, was the former print shop. Half of it was cordoned off by a short chain link fence that surrounded one-ton printing machines that were probably 30 years old. A big red "on" switch got the machines going, and could have taken an arm off. But it was available space, and so they used it. So an office in a boiler room is perfectly plausible.
Carl? The IKEA Monkey's name is Darwin (and I can see him in the pic).Pale Horse said:On a side note, does anyone else see Carl the Ikea Monkey on the shelf behind Indy's left shoulder?
