Meet Miss Pepper #6

"Class Characters" is a playful illustrated feature that catalogs the instantly recognizable student types you'll spot in any school—from the perpetually overdressed "Clothes Horse" to the chronically gum-addicted "Elastic Jaws." It's a lighthearted snapshot of hallway stereotypes that invites readers to find themselves (or their classmates) in the lineup. The comic even throws open the doors for fan submissions, encouraging you to send in your own local class characters for a chance to see them illustrated and printed in future issues.

In "null," Jo and her classmates tour a Chinese museum in Chinatown with Miss Pepper, only to find their imaginations running wild as old stereotypes take over. What starts as a simple field trip quickly spirals into a lighthearted, self-aware comedy of mistaken identities and exaggerated fears.

Dink finds himself attending school in India, where an unnamed teacher presides over decidedly unconventional lessons—from cobras keeping time during music class to fire-eating demonstrations. As Dink bumbles through the day, accidentally offending a white elephant and landing in the dunce seat more than once, he discovers that even an ocean away from home, school has a way of keeping him on his toes.
