Comics and Conversation: Using Humor to Elicit Conversation and Develop Vocabulary #[nn]
"Angry Policeman" is a sharp, playful comic from 1985 by Sergio Aragonés, who wrote, drew, and inked the entire story. It captures a classroom moment with humor and precision, as a single paper wad sparks a wave of blame—leaving the classmate known for knowing all the answers suddenly on the defensive. The cover, also by Aragonés, perfectly mirrors the story’s chaotic energy.
