Regrettably the formula for waaaaaaaay too many actual comics

That had to be Loris hollering; Petey is sitting there gawking like a hoot Owl!

Wow, the top honor, a 3 staple award! May have outraged Loris to the point where she pulled her #2 pencil.

Incoming!! Or, I guess in Andre’s case … Outgoing!!

He’s not really going to burst.

Or, maybe he is!

As we used to do in ancient Atomic Times (the 1950s), hide under your desk until the Blast and Shock Wave pass by….

Easy there, Andre!

DOWN. LIKE RIGHT NOW.

Borbo Borborygmus is the name of my next band. Our music gets you right in the gut.

LMAO.. Oh my gosh every panel is a chuckle then a laugh at the end.

I’ll bet that was Petey speaking

Is his uncle Mr. Creosote?

Duck and cover drill!

I’ve never written a comic book.

Teacher needs a saddle stitch stapler so it is like a real comic.

it would take me a while to learn how to pronounce the name of his comic book before i could even begin to read it. Congrats Andre!!!!!

“Just one tiny thin mint, Mr Creosote, it can’t hurt”…

And here I was thinking that the off-scene voice was a cop raiding them for illegal comicbooking or somesuch.

This is very touching. Sweet success—and as vivid depiction of the stapling action as has ever been achieved in a still picture.
