Okay, how old do you have to be to have seen these on anything near a regular basis? For that matter, I’d imagine the window of opportunity for seeing test patterns in color must have been fairly brief.

So is the joke here that a) substitute teachers are dumb, and b) substitute teachers make up bumper stickers to drum up business for themselves?

Assignment

Cidu Bill on Mar 26th 2008

assignment.gif
What exactly is going on here? Mrs. Keene is berating the teacher because Jeri got the assignment wrong? This wouldn’t even make sense if Mrs. Keene has ever shown signs that she even liked Jeri. Theirs is without question the most unsettling parent-child relationship in mainstream comics.

Prescribe Something

Cidu Bill on Mar 26th 2008

Carl Fink: We have someone who apparently needs a prescription
because he’s floating upside-down in a blob of ink. I think he’s supposed to be a vampire or something, but I still don’t get it.

Cervical

Cidu Bill on Mar 24th 2008

Yes, in fact “cervical” does mean “pertaining to the neck,” though of course that’s not what generally comes to mind (”cervical” in gynocological terms refers to the cervix, the “neck” of the uterus).
 
All things considered, “Neck pain?” might have been a clearer and less distracting banner sign.
