Pcottraux's Friday FReeptoon

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.

Nice P.

A good chuckle at the end of a long day, thank you.

Hey, just doin' my job.

Well, not really "job," but...you know.

[Paul_Denton]

Ouch

[pcottraux]

The substitute in particular this was based on would actually try to give lectures and make the students take notes on the lesson we were on. He had no idea what he was talking about. It was rather funny.

[Paul_Denton]

LOL so he was blabbering essentially?

[pcottraux]

Exactly.

Good job!

Happy now? ;-)

[pcottraux]

Yes, my day is complete.

Wonderful PC.. love the elephant & the substitute teacher one..

one question (and I am sure you have a reason that I don't know).. why is sKerry sideways?

[pcottraux]

He was supposed to be diagonal, popping in from the lower right corner. Yet when I drew him, he somehow came out completely sideways. I was going to fix him on the computer, but I just said, "Ah, forget it. It's fine the way it is."

Looks kind of weird, though, you're right.

[pcottraux]

250?

[pcottraux]

Gotta' love those archives!

The poor elephant. When Rush and Sean see this differently, we look divided. But, each of them wants what's best for the country. You can't say that for the Rats. The Pubs would be wise to point this out.

Great drawing BTW. You have a great knack of catching everyones attitude.

[pcottraux]

Thank you.

I wasn't sure of Sean's opinion on this thing. I had read Rush's arguments on his website.

You have to admit, though, it's just as divisive for the left as it is for the right, if not more so (Hillary vs. Jimmah?).

Hey P! Just caught Friday's cartoon. Great job again. I like Scary Kerry giving the elephant a flip-flop thumbs up.
