By the end of the school year, everyone is tired of testing....
Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Melanie and Andrea are sitting at a table in a classroom. Melanie looks upset as she holds a piece of paper in front of her, while Andrea looks uneasy. There are papers on the table in front of them, and some spare pens next to Andrea, which a mischievious Mr. Sprinkls is reaching for. Yeah, he snuck in the classroom. He sneaks into a lot of places that people don't seem to notice!
Melanie: "WHAT?! MORE TESTS?! We just took a bunch of tests last month!"
Andrea: "Those were state tests, and these are class finals."
Panel 2: Melanie set the paper down and has started writing on it. She has an annoyed expression on her face, while Andrea's is solemn. Andrea is also starting to write on her test paper. Mr. Sprinkles has managed to grab a pen off the table and ducks down triumphantly. Of to the right, an older woman teacher (probably in her sixties) is holding a stack of papers as she wistfully stares off to the left.
Melanie: "Geez Andrea, it's like the teachers are obsessed with tests or something!"
Andrea: "I don't think it's the teachers, Melanie...""
Teacher, thinking to herself: "Just a couple more weeks until summer vacation... come on Janice, you can get through this! Just a couple more weeks until sweet freedom from testing..."
