You Are Sentenced To A Day In A Comic

This week's Day in a Sentence is shaping up to be a real Toondoo follow-the-leader event. And what a leader! Kevin Hodgson led the scene with a fantastic idea in a comic:

Gail followed suit with a double whammy:

Not to be outdone by buzzy Illya who decided to have a break and sniff the flowers:

while Bonnie put up a Big Show:

put to music by Anne

a sound second only to Ken's fireworks . . .

that unfortunately put him on the Moon and the blast probably didn't do anything for Jo Hawke's SOL testing for he said this,

"Those cartoons are great! I tried to make one for mine, but it lagged too bad, and I got frustrated. So I'll write it out instead:

Students were in and out of class all week for SOL testing, and the only way to figure out who was *really* absent was to spend a good quarter of a class sorting through multiple PDF attachments of rolls and then checking the list of students who didn't actually show up -- for all three sessions each day! And we get to do it again all this week, too!"

Then Gail H said,

"I wish that I could design a cartoon that would make visible the two-way tug many teachers must feel because they are torn between "test-prep" pressures and the desire to offer their students 21st century venues for learning."

Here's my best effort Gail. Maybe you could improve the captions at Make Beliefs Comix.com.
