David Van Driessen

The long-suffering, endlessly patient teacher from Highland High steps off the animated screen and into Marvel Comics with Beavis & Butt-Head #2 in 1994, brought to the page by Mike Lackey and Rick Parker. David Van Driessen is very much a creature of the early Modern Age, embedded in one of the era's most irreverent pop-culture phenomena, sharing panels with Beavis, Butt-Head, Daria Morgendorffer, and Stewart Stevenson. His catalog footprint is small but perfectly in character — a supporting presence who anchors the chaos around him — and his appearances in both Beavis & Butt-Head and Beavis and Butt-Head's Greatest Hits make him a genuine piece of '90s comics nostalgia worth tracking down.
