Panel 4 : Partial eclipse of the gull.

Dormition of the pencil sharpener.

The decline and fall of Spud.

Mrs. McIntosh : I felt a funeral in my brain

Heavens no! Say it’s only the shavings catcher and that he didn’t break the new sharpener!

And now everyone will be mad at Spud. Even the seagull wants to go away!

Seagull: “And that’s why we can’t have nice things. Way to go, Betty …"

“Adult supervision required”!

I like the lightning bolt coming from the sharpener.

Now the seagull shows up! Just in time to enjoy(?) the calamitous conclusion.

NOT THE SEAGULL!!

Deploy the rubber eraser!

Careful Spud! If you fall on your backpack the wrong way it might explode due to the built up homework gases a la Petey’s in Cul-De-Sac.

Hey, seagull? Move. Like, now.

Timberrrrrrrrr………

So much for today’s math quiz.

Word of advice Spud, just use a pocket knife. It may not be a smooth, but it will be pointy.

I guess Amelia took one look, climbed into her locker and shut the door.

OK, who didn’t see that coming?

Had to happen. Spud should take up weightlifting for that pencil.

Love the balloon from the sharpener.

Wasn’t it dual?
