High School Lesson #3267

Students eye a hand hanging out of their teacher's filing cabinet If your new teacher has been rumored to eat students alive, make sure it's not literal

My sister is about to start middle school, so I decided that this is the perfect time to give her my own brand of advice that is extremely applicable throughout life.

You're welcome.

Yes, 'xerodermatic' is a real word.

The Minister's Cat is a game where you go round the circle and have each player come up with an adjective to describe the cat using a certain letter of the alphabet, then move on to the next letter when someone messes up. The game generally ends when everyone gets sick of it and decides to leave the room. On car trips, however, no one can really leave, so things tend to get ugly. And then the cat dies. Many, many times.

My brother loves cats. I think I hear him whimpering.

Happy Birthday!

Erin works at computer typey typey Frond: Ahem Erin: uh-oh All of the characters on the website banner appear - pig, alien, dog, cat, unicorn, rabbit, vampire, dinosaur Frond: We need to talk Erin: Er, okay Sonata: You've been doing this comic for a year, and did cartoons with Sid, Ariel, and Corra, but what about the rest of us Frond: Forget that You haven't used Splatter, Neo, or Sonata, but you've at least done cartoons with dogs, cats, and unicorns But you haven't done any with rabbits or dinosaurs You've been busy obsessing over bilbies Erin: I like bilbies Frond: I was here first And what about poor Roxy Roxy: Frond, it's okay Really Frond: Translation: You're the cartoonist, so fix it Erin: Alright Alright The next day Splatter: You drew a cartoon of us buggin you about being in a cartoon Erin: snicker

Yep! Dilettante Comics has been under operation for a whole year! WOOH!!! And now you know that I'm insane enough to name all the characters in my logo, sans the flaming butterfly. Though frankly, it's been a year, and I still have no idea whether Ariel the Alien is a boy or a girl.

I actually double-checked. Turns out that Frond was wrong. I actually did draw rabbits in a cartoon! Once. This one right here. So there. Frond's usually in a better mood. She's just a bit irritable because she had to babysit her cousins last weekend. Insert joke about large rabbit families here.

And to celebrate keeping this up for a year, I think I'll sleep. And then the rest of you can celebrate because it means I'll stop rambling for a while.
