And now for tonight’s Dinklemeyer.


I’m adding frames to make the Dinklemeyer strips look a little better.

This one comes right after introducing the talking pig. Now I’ve developed the first regular secondary character, so I went back to Freddy’s school life. This is a very typical, average, non-special strip.

Of course, it goes without saying that this is based on my own experiences with substitute teachers. I have to be honest: some were nice, cool, etc., but some were dumb as rocks. Substitute teacher note: they should never, EVER try to get involved in the lesson. They should just give the students their assignments and be quiet. In most cases, when a substitute teacher tries to give a lecture on the lesson at hand, they’re have no idea what they’re talking about and are just making fools of themselves.

Yeah, I guess you guys have got it worse off than we do.

I know England has a bad problem with their Muslim population. I'm not sure about Ireland though.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

We are a lot better thhan most of our European counterparts, I guess for a long time people were leaving this country, no one wanted to come here - now that's changed, but we are still newcomers to mass immigration!

LOL "Bad good bad good" that really sums it up. Good one :) LOL I could not understand the DInklemeyer one.

[pcottraux]

I hope you guys handle the situation better than we have.

[pcottraux]

You mean you couldn't read it or you didn't get it?

[Paul_Denton]

I could read it but hard to understand what is being talked about.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

We passed a referendum a few years back - changing a clause in our constitution that guaranteed citizenship for every child born on Irish soil.

[pcottraux]

Yeah, we've got that one too.

[pcottraux]

The point is that the substitute teacher is an idiot and is saying things that don't make any sense.

[Paul_Denton]

Cool:)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I know, but we have ours changed.

[pcottraux]

So if my son is born while I'm in Ireland, he's not automatically an Irish citizen?

[pcottraux]

Based on my own substitute teachers...

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Goodnight, P!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, it's too late to explain, I'm off to bed, goodnight!

[pcottraux]

Okay, then. Goodnight, I_T.

[Hoodlum91]

Ironically, I feel the same way as the elephant.

[pcottraux]

That's not really "ironic." But I see what you're saying. I didn't realize how much I was capturing peoples' own feelings on this matter.

[Hoodlum91]

well, frankly, i'm impressed i can spell. it's been a long evening.

[pcottraux]

Yes, I've always admired that about you.
