But wait! There's more summer!

Sometime between mid-August and mid-September, something changes in the air. Instead of smelling like sunscreen, freshly mown grass and barbecues, the air picks up notes of pencil shavings, fresh backpacks and new textbooks.

 From our house we can hear the marching band and football team practicing, and summer becomes a memory.

Sigh.

A banner year

It's back to school time here! Many schools have already started classes, others will start in the next few weeks. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to look back at some school-related cartoons from (my) history.

Damaged goods?

The cool thing is, if you return your broken Job Action Figure (TM), you get two of them back.

Eyes up above

My mission president always knew what was happening with his missionaries. I don't know what technology he used, but it was amazing!
