Sort of.

Yeah, but a cult with comfortable bean bag chairs, and no SATs at the end of the year.

I like how they hold back the reveal that she’s got the same necklace here.

Every school has that one unorthodox teacher and Mr. Pritchard is no exception.

I hope he doesn’t serve Kool-Aid.

Why do I hear Rhys Darby’s voice when I read Mr. Pritchard’s lines

Oh boy

Technically when one is in a cult, one is too confused from the brainwashing to realize one is in a cult.

So, it’s a cult when you agree how the others think and you also give money??

I wonder if the necklaces possess certain “powers”

1983-84 I had an English teacher that was a hippie…I wish I could remember her name…She had all the peace signs and posters in her classroom. She dressed like a hippie. I wasn’t doing to well in her class, mainly because I was shy, didn’t like to stand in front of the class for oral book reports. But she helped me with that. She would talk to me after class, encourage me. I passed her class with a B instead of a D. I loved to read, just hated getting in front of the class.

But it’s a NICE cult!

Hahaha! The first step is acceptance! Look at the similarities between them in the last panel.

If anything the special ed class is just a club.

There’s a succinct list of cult behavior and these guys don’t meet any of ’em.

-Leader has absolute authority without accountability-Zero tolerance of criticism or questions-Refusal to disclose finances-Creates fear of the outside world, usually with conspiracy and persecution of the cult-Former followers are always wrong for leaving because there’s no reason to leave.-Making followers feel they’re never “good enough”-Leader is always right.-Leader has exclusive access to truth that you cannot know.

If that list sounds a little familiar about a certain someone, yes.
