I once found one of these sounds on YouTube. It said that only people under 20 could hear it. Well, being 58 at the time I sure couldn’t hear anything- but my stepdaughter appeared at the stop of the stairs asking “What was that sound?” She turns 21 this year, so maybe she can’t hear it so good anymore…
It’s true. When I was teaching, students had a ring tone called “the mosquito” that only they could hear (I tried it, I could not hear it!) But, I still had my “teachers’ ears” and could hear what they were discussing in the back of the room!
This strip relies on ELECTRICITY to make its point. I am outraged. And the drawings are somewhat stylized, so I am doubly outraged. Also, I live a miserable life and am alone all day, so I really need things to be outraged over.
They did this in the town neighbouring my hometown to keep kids and teens from “loitering” (it had the wonderful effect of forcing them to hang out in less safe areas, as it was done near the library, pool, etc). They also do it at (by which I mean on the speakers outside of) a McDonalds downtown in the city I used to live in. Of course, everyone who loiters there are actually adults anyway, and it too pushes teens to hang out in less safe, less lit (as in lighting, not Sluggo) areas.

And the Principal becomes my new favourite character. Speed the parting guest, indeed.

I know school budgets can be tight. But really? You can only afford to teach two students?

So, only Nancy and Sluggo passed the test? They got the answer right for the only question of what does 1+1 equal?

I have a few of those that keep mice away during the winter. They work well too…

Holy Moly! Not only did Nancy regenerate her missing finger, but Mr. Principle has five fingers and a thumb on his left hand! How cool is THAT?!?
