Wow…. Agnes(take a look) already tried just about exactly this on HER teacher a few weeks ago…Posters on that strip have remarked on the similarities between Agnes and Caulfield…. but she’s much more of a misfit, while his schemes are more knowing and practical.

I am only just starting to get to know this strip, but I am enjoying it immensely so far. I love the style and use of color, not to mention the wit!

Summer school for remedial English will start soon.
Here in Richland WA the kids are in their final day of this school — supposedly a snow make-up day.
