About a week or so back there was a post in general discussion with the title “We never had that much fun in high school”, and it got me thinking about all the hijinks and shenanigans I used to get up to in my ‘skool daze’, which I can look back on fondly now as beer has erased most of the unpleasant memories and trauma associated with educational establishments, or has painted over the unfunny with the distorted rose-tinted view that my exploits back then were akin to those of ferris bueller when in reality I was probably a bit of an irritating oik. In any case I decided to make that the theme of this contest.

Whilst I’d probably be right in assuming most of us were/are part of the social underclass in the school pecking order, Im sure most of you have some stories to tell, or some wrongs to avenge, so why not do it in comic form?

Make a comic about your school days, class mates (even in a retrospective whats spotty james up to now sort of way), reunions, or a school or class based comic in general. Im going to allow oldies as well for the uninspired, but new comics are always appreciated.

Alternatively if that sounds too much of a stretch then do a comic about the sitcom Happy Days  “AA-AAY!”

Marking will be in about a weeks time. Also to class swots wanting extra credit, teacher prefers neat bourbon to apples.

Embarassingly 100% true.

Whoops by gabe_billings 5-25-07

What were those screams about? I was trying to swipe some nitric acid from the chem lab. For what? I got a hold of this army improvised munitions field manual. I thought I'd try to build some explosive. So what happened to your leg? Well, I tried to smuggle it out in a jar with a metal top, and it tipped over in my shorts pocket and ate through the top, and then part of my leg.

Sadly, this comic (far from being funny on its own) needs some explanation. There was this girl... really shrill, annoying and pushy. We called her Grendel, after the beast from "Beowulf." And when she came around, we used to sing this to her to piss her off:

CC356: To the tune of Duran Duran's "Rio" by UnknownEric 5-25-07

Her name is Grendel and she dances really bland Instead of fucking her, you'll want to use your hand Oh Grendel, Grendel, hear us shout across the land Stay away from us, we're not sure you're a woman.

CC: 356 One Time At Band Camp by attitudechicka 5-25-07

Holy cow. Who is that playing the drums? It sounds awesome! It's Bobby. He has cerebal palsy. I'm gonna do him! Me too!

When do you think you'll be judging? I actually have some other ideas poking around in my head I'd like to enter when I'm not feeling so sick.

Hello, Unknown Eric. Hello, Chicka. This isn't awkward or anything, is it?

CC 356: I Swear I'm Going Somewhere With This 2 by attitudechicka 5-25-07

Hey, look Eric, a time machine! ...Yay? Now we can go back in time and I can escort you to your senior prom. Yay! Crap. There's a fifty cent fee and it's nonrefundable.

CC 356: I Swear I'm Going Somewhere With This 3 by attitudechicka 5-25-07

Uh, why did we return to our ages in 1994 as well? Man, you haven't changed a bit in 13 years, have you? You know, you were still pretty hot at 10. Don't be such a pedo.

CC 356: I Swear I'm Going Somewhere With This 4 by attitudechicka 5-25-07

Well, was it everything you'd hoped it would be? Sure, there was dancing, music, food... So why do you still look so unhappy? I don't know... Would you look happy after getting arrested for conspiracy to corrupt a minor?

That is the greatest series ever.

This subject is especially appropriate. My ten-year high school reunion has come and gone and I purposely missed it. I feel so pleased to have ruined the 100% attendance goal that the planners put out.

Time Flies by ivytheplant 2-16-07

My ten year high school reunion is in a few months. Are you planning on going? Somewhere in Arkansas... Ah might beat mah wife and be on welfare cause ah'm too drunk to work, but at least ah'm better'n them niggers, jews, and faggots! Ah have fourteen kids and never left the state because ah'm afraid of gettin' infected by them Yankees! I don't think I'd fit in.

CC356: This Never Went Away by ivytheplant 5-25-07

Oh. My. God. Why didn't you tell me you were dating Harley!? What the hell are you talking about? Dad! Why did you tell everyone I was dating Harley!? He took you on a date to dinner and a movie. We went to McDonald's for lunch and the weekend matinee while my car was being repaired. *sniff!* My little girl is growing up!

CC356: Pick And Choose by ivytheplant 5-25-07

I see you brought comic books to school. As principal, I must inform you that those things are not appropriate in this setting. They depict violence that we cannot tolerate in a peaceful environment. The Davenports bring shotguns to school.

CC356: Escapism by ivytheplant 5-25-07

You're doing your homework, you weirdo. You're such a weirdo. Why would you want to do homework anyway, weirdo? We don't need to know this in the real world anyway. Weirdo. 10 years later... I always knew you'd turn out to be one o' them hippie liberal left-wing Yankee scum. Yeah, but I can read.

I found the skirt I wore to my senior prom the other day. I'm pleased that it's still stylish today. Even though at the time I was going for "bad scifi movie."

I found boorite's prom picture yesterday. I've been forbidden from ever showing anyone. His girlfriend was adorable and he was wearing pants (though who knows for how long).

To think that when the picture was taken, I was the ripe old age of...5.

Great. So where is it?

In a filing box marked "storage" along with his high school transcript, college papers, and dirty cartoons he drew.

I was smart enough to burn all traces of my past.

CC 356: Why I Stopped Taking Advanced English by attitudechicka 5-26-07

I was adopted. Who else was adopted? Come on up and do a cartwheel with me! I have a dog. Who else has a dog. Come on up and do a cartwheel with me! I take 12 different pills to balance out my depression and perkiness. Who else takes doctor prescribed medication? Miss K, maybe you should skip the cartwheels this time.

A Memory of Most Mondays by coldpizza 5-26-07

*crickets* As I'm sure you're all aware, "The Crucible" centers around the Salem witch trials of 1692. Can anyone tell me something they learned about witchcraft? What about you, Dave the Doodler? Did Arthur Miller's detailed narrative teach you anything about the time period? It sure did, Mr. Anderson. I learned that a sandwich is a sandwich ... but a Manwich is a WARLOCK! Let's try this again. Sophomoric Sloppy Joe puns aside, did anyone bother opening the book?

Crappy Days by RedfeatheR 10-19-05

Special delivery! What a coincidence, I have a "Special Delivery" for you too *chuckle* Oh in that case, I have a Special, SPECIAL delivery for you. Another coincidence... I just shit my pants. Like the Fonz does in that lost episode of "Happy Days" AAEEEYYYY!!!

CC 356: Fwappy Days by biped 5-27-07

Well, Richie, here we are at the big reunion. We've really changed, huh? We sure have, Potsie! Hey, I wonder if "The Fonz" will show up? AAEEEYYYY!!! What the heck's taking them so long in there? I've gotta pee... SIT ON IT, FONZ!

Ok Class, Homework is due in by friday.

Here is my submission for this project. I'm including a few old ones in the hopes of sucking up and getting extra credit.

They're from a series I did to commemorate all the wonderful memories I have of my early years in a poorly run, underfunded, back woods, government institution that they called a "school". I'm told they might even reduce my meds if this works out.

New Toons First

Elementary School of The Damned by Hatrix 5-30-07

They call them school yard 'chums'... Hey I'll bet you're too chicken to say a swear! C'mon if you're so big! If you're so tough. Go ahead! I dare you! Fuck you. Aaaaa! She did it! Hey everybody she did it! She said a swear! I made her say it! So are you guys doing anything after school? ...because you'd like to bloody the water with their carcass. Not with YOU. We don't like you. You swear too much.

And Smile While You Do It by Hatrix 5-30-07

Alright you worthless little bastards get in your chairs and SHUT UP! After you do the prayer PROPERLY you're going to repeat it FIFTY TIMES! *knock knock* Oh Good Morning Principal Freak. Good Morning Sister. Just doing the rounds checking on how everyone is dealing with the new curriculum. Carry on. I thought this was a public school now... Just because the school can't force you to pray doesn't mean I can't force you to pray.

Insanity - Compassion + [10*Cruelty] = School by Hatrix 5-30-07

What? Um uh... excuse me sister. I uh.. I'm having trouble with my math and I was wondering if you could show me how to do that again before I have to go to the board.... please. Of course dear. Thank you! I was ready to fall apart. I didn't want to humiliate myself in front of .... ATTENTION CLASS: Stupid here is going to do her entire worksheet at the board. Be sure to throw things at her if she gets something wrong. Otherwise she'll never learn. !^$*&@#@!(*&^!

Reap What You Sow by Hatrix 5-30-07

1973 Sure I'm deliberately cruel all the time and enjoy making kids cry. Especially when I can make them wet their pants. Hysterical! What are YOU going to do about it? ..... 2003 Hello Lily. Remember me? You pushed her down the church steps? What's she gonna do about it? Especially now that her jaw is wired shut.

High School Reunion by Hatrix 5-30-07

Class of OMG I can't believe I ever I teach here now. knew any of these freaks how the hell I SAID I'm in GOVERNMENT . What's it to ya? Because if you're a NARC you have to tell me. did I make it out of this place alive? You haven't changed a bit! Tee hee! Sure I have! I cost more than a burger and movie now.

Old toons second....be sure to check out the entire skool daze series for a few laughs.

CC 356: Nobody in Here But Us Chickens by umfumdisi 5-30-07

Let's ditch school and go have sex in your car. Awesome idea, babe. Shit, there's my Home Ec Teacher. Hide!   !   In the girls' bathroom... Did I see a young man come in here? Falsetto Voce.... No, Ma'am.

I wouldn't come out, either. They eventually sent in a male teacher to get me, and I went peacefully at that point. The principal called my Mom and Dad and told them. They were like, "So what?" The principal let me off with a warning.

Never did have sex with that girl...

CC 356: Up on the Rooftop by umfumdisi 5-30-07

Okay, so this one time a few days after our Senior year ended, my buddy and I climbed up on top of our high school and drank a fifth of Bacardi in celebration of leaving that damned place. Hey, isn't that Mr. Dullard's classroom down there? You mean the one with the windows cranked open? Yeah, let's piss on them!

The windows were the old crank-out type that slanted up if cranked enough. There had to be splashback into the room.

Originally, my buddy had wanted to open one of the school's many skylights and piss in the second story hallway, but I talked him out of that. Pissing off of a building turned out to be pretty cool anyway.

True Story by HCRoyall 5-31-07

I found math easy in school. Usually I was asleep in class. Who can asnwer this question on the board? Zzzzz... I'd wake up occasionally. Usually for tests and quizzes. I just went over how to solve this problem for an hour. One of you has got to be able to solve it! Huh? Oh. X = 4. It was at this moment I could see my teacher's brain snap. Three seconds later he was hurling erasers at the rest of the class and screaming like a howler monkey about how stupid they were.

That day was the crowning moment of my junior year in high school.

RCL no. 1600 by RandomComicLayoutGuy 5-31-07

What's wrong, son? The kids at school all took turns kicking me in the [oomph] NUTS! Again? That's the third time this week! I'm going to tell your teacher about this... Who do you think holds me while my marbles get pummeled into submission? Maybe, if you acted less like a "Potsie", and more like a "Fonzie", this kind of thing wouldn't keep happening to you... AAAAAYYYY!!

(I was more of a "Chuck" in school, than a "Potsie"...)

First rule of English: Mr. Hartley is always right. I thought the first rule of English was never to refer to yourself in third person.

This comic can't win, but I'm entering it anyways:

CC 356: And I Bet You'll Say You Never Felt This Way by attitudechicka 6-01-07

So basically I just don't think I believe in love. That's really deep and all, but you're just bitter because you're single. Hey, Laura, what's up? That's not true.... ...but I gotta go. Hey Marcus, wait up!

CC 356: Sadly, This Is A True Story by attitudechicka 6-01-07

I cheated on Zach last night with Max. So I have to spend tonight on my casualty insurance plan. Casualty insurance? You know, when you cheat on someone stable, you have sex with them the next day. That way if you get pregnant you know the guy paying child support will actually have a job.
