PP is FUNNY, in the last two panels:“HOW EMBARRASSING! It’s easy to get into these true or false tests!” Actually, in my opinion,(and I’m sure several others agree with me), true or false tests can be among the HARDEST kinds of tests. I mean, yes, the answer IS either True or False, BUT, you must study HARD, so as to know if EVERY SINGLE minute detail of a question, REALLY IS true, or false.

I’m surprised no one ever nicknamed Peppermint Patty “Pepper” or “Pep”.
