Mrs. Olsen: Questions?
Caulfield: Is a barrel of monkeys always fun? Or just until you get bit by a monkey?
Frazz: Principal's office?
Caulfield: I had fun for a while.
If I were the teacher I would have a comeback something along the lines of, Fling the poo against a wall and see what sticks. Wonder what kind of teacher that would make me? Popular with the kids, with the adults, maybe not so much.
Actually, with the noise and whatever they would be throwing, I never thought a barrel of monkeys would be much fun. In which case, a trip to the principal’s office is probably a lot more fun.

“Wouldn’t it be easier to shoot the barrel and let the water drain out rather than shooting the fish in the barrel?”

great minds think alike, but that doesn’t bode well for you matching me (j/k) :)

The best teachers would be ready with a comeback

My grandmother used to say, “A hit dog will holler.” Seems to me Charles Smith is doing a powerful amount of hollering.

I know it’s a staple in this strip (and funny) but I doubt that a 3rd grader would get sent to the principal’s office for asking a question.
