Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for January 15, 2024

I’ve not noticed this before, but today’s strip shows that both Nancy AND Sluggo are left-handed, aka southpaws.

And for contrast, the classroom teacher is right-handed and has beautiful hair.

And people today complain about overcrowded classrooms!!

Not what their teacher had in mind!

I love Ernie’s generic “you’ve been bad”. Specificity adds nothing to the joke.

creating some extra work for the clean-up crew, guys?

That’s one way to do it.

It’s funny because of guns.

When there’s a will, there’s a way…..the little squirts!

O M G Stripey strikes again…

Love the movement, the action.

Gee, is that all it took to earn the privilege of cleaning the blackboards? I would have been bad more often if that was the case! I know most classrooms probably don’t have chalkboards anymore, but just in case there are a few out there, here’s a helpful tip: Should any student decide to pull a prank and replace the white chalk with white crayons and you don’t catch it right away, the crayon comes off with a pencil eraser. When this happened to my 5th grade teacher, her math class had to spend the period cleaning it off. In this case it was an accident, not a prank, though.

Wishing you a meaningful Martin Luther King Day.

OK, but their next destination will surely be the principal’s office. Laugh that off kids.

Never thought of cleaning blackboards like that
