    Francis finally appears on this comic strip. And, Matchip, I can answer your question. Teddy doesn’t go to P.S. 38 right now. He’s at another school somewhere. He’ll appear in the year 1994.

    It’s surprising how Nate can always seem to mark out other people’s problems but is oblivious to his own problems. He is either haughty or just plain clueless, as usual.

    Nate is interesting. I’m not sure he even knows he’s being mean. In his mind he’s simply being honest.
