Phoebe: This is the dramatic climax of the play, so just to set the scene for you... Lisa Ladybug has searched This One Scrub for her missing lollipop. Now she wanders over to This Other Shrub and is greeted by another bug. And... that's about it. On with the show! Dakota: Which I totes wanna stress we didn't write.

Oh wow what a riveting play. and for 4th graders? are we SURE this wasn’t a pre-schooller’s play? How lazy is this teacher? c’mon I could have written a better play! probable by borrowing from Charlet’s web.

“Totes”?

Maybe the teacher wrote it herself to avoid copyright infringement charges.

Well, I bet it’s at least better than the “Story of Caulk” play they put on in Ozy and Millie…

@eldrickiv. Thanks, I will use totes on my grandchildren and they will think I am cool. Well, as cool as a 75 year old can be.

Fourth grade? If our Phoebe is only eight, she should be in second or third, depending on when her birthday falls and on when the school district’s birthday cutoff comes.
Mind you, we haven’t yet witnessed the scene. It /could/ turn out to be something bloody brilliant that Neil Gaiman or Tom Stoppard or Christopher Fry did for charity. (It couldn’t be Amy Sherman Palladino because comic strips have to leave room for the art.)

I like Dakota playing with her hair in the 3rd panel, and that she’s working WITH Phoebe in the last. :-)
