Prepping for school

We've got all boys, so our back to school was entirely lived in the last panel.

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.
 

Is there anything lovely or of good report?

If it makes any difference, I feel the same when when I look at my calendar of meetings at work!
 

Improvement and progression

To me this ranks up there with "Our menu options have changed" as far as useless messages go.
 

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.

Sketchbook: Hold up there!

Another one that stayed in the sketchbook for obvious reasons.
 

Damaged goods?

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