This will have to happen later; right now, we're building up to the reprint
aprilp_katje deconstructed Wednesday.Panel 1: We start the strip with Miss Campbell standing in front of a blackboard affixed to the wall because Lynn is unaware that it's been replaced by a more portable whiteboard; she tells the class that they're going to be spending most of the morning getting to know one another.
Panel 2: As Michael starts to copy what he saw on the blackboard (My name is Miss Campbell) on a sheet of paper, she says that they're also going to look at some of the things that they'll be learning through the year.
Panel 3: Michael is shocked when she refers to him by name and tells him to please pay attention; it seems to me that his literal-mindedness, tendency to zone out and hatred of being brought out of his reverie is a foreshadowing of his TICKA-TACKA-TICKA-TAP future.
Panel 4: He turns to Lawrence and whispers "I wonder why they always say pay attention."
Panel 5: Lawrence whispers back "'Cause if you don't, it's gonna cost ya."
Summary: He'll be whining that his teacher actually expects him to do things to earn his grades in no time; luckily for him, he'll finally find people who are willing to hand him shit for doing sweet dick all: his publishers and his wife. Not that I really sympathize with the teacher, though; she impresses me as being as thin-skinned as Elly.
