Being both a supply teacher and an artist, I sometimes have the opportunity to combine my passions. Creating my comic strip The Craziest Things is one of them. The genesis of this comic strip came from the situations I have observed from the students. I thought it would be great to create a comic strip based on my experiences and thus The Craziest Things was born.
I use many different themes to inspire me: some include the differences in the generations or the use of technology by the students compared to their parents. At other times, I use situations that inspire me from the real world. However, the majority of my inspiration comes from real life experiences with the students; a great many of them sarcastic comments within the classroom.
Everyone has been told or thinks of themselves as special. But are they really? I cannot tell you how many times I have heard parents tell their children that they are special or the kids tell each other that they are special and why. I even had students come crying to me because another student tells them that they are not special. I reassure them that we are all special in our own way.
But then I stayed thinking and voila, my latest The Craziest Things comic was born.
I hope you enjoy this June’s The Craziest Things: Useful?.
