Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 17, 2023

comic strips = not a loser, comic books = ???

May I be excused?

I’m just here for the torture and community service. No one told me about the drawing stuff.

Enter Nate Wright….

My brain is full. Always has been.

Beers from K-12 because I was in for the win with Slim Whitman.

No, Miss, I can be a “winner” during class hours.

You know, on a completely unrelated topic, sometimes it’s instructive to get a close look at a really first-rate nonexemplar.

Can cook too!

Oyster fried teacher legs, anyone?

Levon blows up cartoon balloons all day…

I will be in a desk at the back, drawing doodles in my notebook while taking notes. I have read the text, and understand the material. You are extraneous to my educational experience. Thank you for participating anyway. Try not to get in my way.

I forgot to bring my apple with a worm in it for you, Teach.

I think I’m in the wrong class. This isn’t Pig-Latin class?

If I doodle, sketch, scribble, draw in your class, it’s because you’re a boring, mean twit who fails everyone, regardless of their talent! BOO HISS, Miss Perfectomundo!

Yes, I’m your new student, and you’ll never be the same.

A … B … C-ya …!

I was taking a college biostatistics class and so enthralled by my crosshatched notebook that I kept drawing cartoons during class. I got an A+ on my midterm and the teacher commented that she hadn’t thought I was paying attention.

So, a Happy St. Paddy’s Day to all the O’Froggery Clan!

I know your type. Next, you’ll be asking me to draw you like one of my froggy girls.

I was in grade school when the big thing was the evil of comic books. Now we have woke instead.

“losers”?

Wi Fi onward Hi Fi…

In my Most Memorable high school class, the eccentric but marvelous teacher: allowed no books on the desk; no pencils/pens on the desk: required all eyes on him; separated the Valley Boys from the good students (the Valley Boys were those “below C level” and were seated in the rear of the classroom) There were other, even more eccentric rules, but these should be enough to give you the flavor. (Note: this was a very long time ago, back when corporal punishment was still allowed and used if necessary by the Dean of Discipline)….

May I transfer to another class, please?

…no ma’am, not in your class…

…but on my desk …
