Nate: ...And most people don't know that France started building the Panama Canal!

Nate: Classic rock bank Van Halen paid tribute to the canal with their 1984 smash hit, "Panama!" *Klik!* *Jump back, what's that sounnd?* Francis: I had nothing to do with this. Mrs. Godfrey: Cripes.

First comment. The first two panels I thought, “Maybe this is a strip where Nate impresses everyone” Then I saw the boom box… Oh goodness I hope Francis does not get P.T.S.D.

It started out bad, took a quick turn toward disgraceful and then hurtled unapologetically into disaster. Well done!

As I said yesterday, I think Nate’s going to get the failing grade and the detention while Francis is let go.

It’s very easy to see why Nate has not advanced out of 6th grade for 25 years.

Ah, Theodore Roosevelt our first vampire president. You don’t think he went from sickly to super healthy by himself do you? I wonder where he is now. He was most upset when he affected that presidential run and the wrong man got elected. Or so he said….
