If this is what they’re teaching in middle school

then I can understand how Herb can be so abyssmally stupid

 Of course, this doesn’t explain why Heart was learning differential calculus of whatever it was in second grade a few months back…


Pinny points out, by the way, that “the flash card reads ‘9×5′ in all three panels. Why is she asking for ‘5×8′ and even ‘5×9′?”

Dare I wonder how this was made? And why Heart thinks Dean would want to buy it?

His Better Half

Not a CIDU, per se, but I was just wondering… Why exactly is Heart’s mother surprised in the fourth panel? What did she think Dean was going to say?

Heart of the School

Three people sent me this one before lunchtime, so I figured I might as well put it online:

Mr. Barnes switched from being the music teacher to being the football coach as a way of increasing his job security, since schools are going to drop their music programs way before they drop their football programs.

Of course the joke would have worked better if Heart and Dean weren’t second-graders, since I’ve yet to come across an elementary school with its own football team (though I wouldn’t be surprised to be told that Texas elementary schools have them). Cartoonists should have a Gag Exchange Program, where if Mark Tatulli has an idea that’s better suited to a high school strip, Archie can use it, and if the Archie writers come up with a storyline too relentlessly grim for Riverdale High, they can pass it along to Westview High.

Heart’s mom’s comment is a bit of a CIDU, actually…

Here’s the Doonesbury strip to which Mark refers (in the Comments section):
