James – I just visited your site. It must be fun creating your own world of characters like that – anything goes. I like that Jared’s dad is an American and is trying to Americanize the kid outside the USA (does the strip take place in Australia?). Best of luck. By the way, I have a big sister too, and although I love and respect her, I don’t let her push me around. And least not too much.
The test couldn’t have been THAT bad: Nate didn’t reach the phase called RESIGNATION: you know, where Nate’s finally on the floor, under his desk in the fetal position! Haw! HAW!!

Nate will become a more confident test taker once he realizes what his knowledge is worth.

Although it’s been debunked, people claim that Frazz is actually Calvin, grown up. I wonder how Nate will turn out. I’m not optimistic.
