Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for October 17, 2019

Must be a lot of starch in that skirt.

I remember those olden days. when school classes had more than two or three students. We used to have two classes in one room – with only one teacher. Wen my folks went to school, all eight grades were in one room – with one teacher. The older kids were expected to help the younger kids practice stuff like reading and writing.

Only baby possums do that. A bat would have been better.

Nancy’s just reviewing the class to get a new perspective.

Well, you did tell her to see the other one’s point of view!

Why do those two children in the front row of panel 2 look like 40-year-old men?

Did the famous short story writer O. Henry take his name from O. Possum?

NANCY has a solution for EVERYTHING!

1-TEACHER: To maintain order in a class of this size I must institute strict penalties for misbehavior…

2-…as I don’t have enough imagination to come up with a punishment that would impress the class, I’ll let the offender choose something suitable from this book about the Spanish Inquisition.

3-You there Nancy. You look like you’re about to cause trouble. Here. Pick a punishment.

4-Hmmm. That would seem to be one of Torquemada’s milder punishments. Oops! Wrong book. I’m glad she didn’t open to the chapter on lions!

people forget that no one sees the same thing the same way – that’s half the problem of today – people want you to see/agree with them regardless if it’s right or wrong.

Look at the size of that class! No wonder Sluggo has a hard time learning.

Overcrowded class jokes in 3…2…

With that many students, i’d look like a deer in the headlights too!

Taking things too far.

Is she wearing a skort?
