Endtown by Aaron Neathery for November 26, 2018

Chic’s little buddy has his back. The tough guy better not try anything.

“Stop Bugging Him”

An actual BEM?

(Bug-Eyed Monster)

I don’t like the attitude shown on the critter behind Chic. He looks like a troublemaker. his expression seems to shout aggression. Chic looks bored out of his mind. After all his freedom in Unity, nothing prepared him for sitting in a classroom.

Interesting that the wall poster of the baseball player is a human. Obviously, they used a relic artifact, because if it had been hand-drawn it would presumably have been a mutant. And a poster: “Don’t play with matches.”And they’re rote-learning some pretty impressive mathematical multiplication tables. The teacher is either a rabbit or a mouse – see the flopped-back ears. Aaron Neathery is impressive with his attention to details that consistently add more depth to the world.

Ah, rote-learning. One of the most practical, yet utterly boring systems of education known to man…

This is definitely a more buttoned-down colony. I notice that everyone here wears shoes,

4 X 28 is probably not “12” … but I never got to my 28s.

in a world without calculators, you have to actually learn maths

HAWT FOR TEACHAH

They allow Irving in school? Is he a “service” bug?

The bully has no manners, and Irving has no class.

Irving will win any staring contest.

If looks could kill…

>8- Bzzzzzz.

Is that a rumble about to start?

There’s no need to memorize the multiplication tables past 10 × 10. After that one just has to learn how to apply them to larger numbers.

Bully time!!

Hello.My name is Chic Wallenchinshy.You killed my friend.Prepare to die.

He probably already knows the multiplication table.

Reminds me of this song from Hans Christian Anderson: Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds. You and your arithmetic will probably go far.

Hmm – does Chic’s neighbor’s shirt have a collar (2nd panel) or not (3rd)?

I don’t suppose they have a digital classroom at some parts of their school, in this day and age? Programming while doing it makes Math freakin’ great.

Trouble in the classroom? Hope we’re not heading for a furry Luann!

Looks like someone is watching his back.

I’m liking the shirts of the future. That collared shirt too formal for school? Swish…instant T-shirt!
