Heart of the City by Steenz for December 20, 2023

What? Did you think it was called “permanent” because it sounded cool, Heart?

Heart, the best thing to do is to tell Mr H that you overheard Andy and Randy and they provided you the answers to keep quiet but your conscience got the better of you so you have come forward to confess. You may want to scrub those answers off of your hand before you see him though. You will get a zero for the test, probably get a Saturday of detention with Andy and Randy and will probably have to work hard to pass pre-algebra with a zero in the grade book but tell Addy that this has been a real learning experience so that she does not ground you too severely. Plus if you do not come forward; Randy and Andy could throw you under the bus……

By the time she’s done waffling, somebody else will have turned the cheaters in.

If she just writes over the answers with a marker she can claim a failed attempt at body art instead of walking around with incriminating evidence.

Get a better poker face.

If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation OFF mosquito spray takes permanent marker right off.

Don’t rush to a rash decision….there mite be other suspicions!!!!!

What’s she got in her mouth in panel 3, novelty fake teeth or 3 Chiclets?

Here’s a housekeeping hint for those who don’t know: you can erase a permanent marker from a hard surface, or your skin, by going over the same area with an erasable marker and wiping it off very quickly using a paper towel, as you go over it one letter at a time…

This is why you use a regular pen. Next time she will do it better.

Always use ink!
