Oh no! The same outfit!!
Here is the first of the ‘real’ new strips, I suppose. The last one was just the nostalgic ‘reflective’ piece at the start of each year. This storyline is somewhat longer than originally intended. So much for a 10 strip arc – this one is past that number already and may reach 20 to 25 before it’s over. But… it’s been fun to work on, so that’s fine.
If you haven’t wandered across yet, check out the School Spirit blog (about the comic as well as more general teaching and real life anecdotes) I’ve recently started up again. I wrote about my prize winning local show drawings recently, and I’ll be putting up various bits and pieces about the strip from time to time as well. Give it a look. It might give you some background information about what goes on in my head and therefore the School Spirit world. I’ll get around to putting a proper link to it on the site here soon.
Spread the word! We’re taking School Spirit to the world this year.
Well… if the World will let us, of course!
Cheers.
Aussie boys get upset when they’re wearing the same clothes as their friend? When I was a kid, and my friend showed up wearing the same thing as me, we were all, “Awesome! We’re in Synch!”
I don’t know, to be honest! I was more going for the female side of things, not wanting to turn up in the same outfit. At last year’s grade six graduation two boys turned up wearing the same suit and green shirt. We had a good laugh over it.
To be honest, I really just needed a quick joke to lead into the storyline! :)
Welcome back for 2012, McBob! :D
I have a lot of Aussie friends online, so anything this Canuckian can learn about Aussie culture/everyday life is good. :)
And I need the help. Most of what I know about Aussie kids I learned from “Round the Twist” and “Lochie Leonard”. :D
Excellent! Lochie Leonard is my all time favourite kids’ television show ever! I absolutely ADORE the first season of that show! I’ve yet to see the second, but I’ll grab it when I see it in the shops. It is absolutely fantastic! :D
And if you’ve learned things through Lochie Leonard, you’re not doing too badly. There’s a lot of stuff in there that is frighteningly accurate when it comes to Australian kids and attitudes! It’s brilliant!
New Year’s Eve, this happened to me. Only instead of swimsuits it was blue denim shirts unbuttoned over a dark t-shirt … on three of us, with no advance planning!
See, according to television, that is how America dresses all the time anyway. :P
