I felt that third panel in my soul. That sigh! We’ve all had days like that.

Poor boys

Kevin’s not wrong. But, at least in prison you get outdoor breaks once in a while.

Morbid for a kid.

Breath Burkhead Elementary? They live in Bloom County!

Well, what do you think school buses do in their off-season?

Hardin County? Does this strip take place in Ohio?

Remember that Gene once said he’s from Kentucky, which is next to Ohio.

Wait till you get to secondary school.

Career planning, Kevin?

When I drove, I told my riders that a prison bus would have leg chains. And I’d love it because it would keep them in their seats while I drove.

I don’t think prison buses are painted the same yellow as school buses. They also (usually) have extra security features—fewer windows, bulletproof screens in the windows, partitions to protect the escorting officers from the prisoners, and so on. Not that Kevin cares about such trivia.

You prefer limousine service?

I hardly recognized Kevin without his requisite white undershirt on.

It’s hard to tell the difference between a high school and a prison when driving by it. Clue: high schools have more security.

Why isn’t Krystal at the same bus stop? There are past strips which proves she goes to the same school.

Someone’s watched the Shawshank Redemption!
