"Arthur, Isn't the Atmosphere Polluted Enough?" [Miss Peach of the Kelly School]

Mell Lazarus’s Arthur, Isn’t the Atmosphere Polluted Enough? collects a single 1981 Bantam Books comic strip treasury featuring the wisecracking kids of the Kelly School, anchored by the perpetually exasperated teacher Miss Peach. Lazarus, who wrote and drew the entire volume, brings his signature blend of gentle satire and deadpan classroom humor to a series that originally ran in newspapers from the 1950s onward. This collection captures the timeless, low-key charm of a beloved comic strip that made everyday school life feel both absurd and warmly familiar.
