Meet Cutlets, Chastity’s pet lamb. I think this is the… third? The third pet mentioned in School Spirit so far. To my count it’s The Ghost of the Murderer’s Hut, Cody’s pet budgie Kylie, and now Chastity’s pet lamb, Cutlets. If we’ve missed any in our counting, be sure to let us know.

The Classroom Mouse doesn’t count. We’re still not sure what happened to it either, apart from it involving Cody and the sickbay at some point.

Part of the joke of this strip involves an Australian advertising campaign based around Australia Day in late January each year. An ex-footballer with an opinionated and irreverent view on just about anything speaks To The Nation each year, telling us why it makes sense to eat lamb on Australia Day. So… here you go…

One from each year so far! Eat Lamb on Australia Day, 2006; Election Lamb, 2007; Australia Week, 2008; The Chop Exchange, 2009; International Australia Day, 2010.

Happy viewing!
