Zany "Back to School" Comic Strip Depicts Chaotic Morning Routine

The start of a new school year is always a mix of excitement and chaos, and a recent comic strip titled "Back to School" captures this perfectly. This vibrant and expressive comic features anthropomorphic cat characters navigating a hilariously hectic morning on the first day of school.

In the first panel, a green cat with wide eyes and an anxious expression confronts a white cat with a pink face, demanding, “DO YOUR TEETH!” The white cat defensively replies, “I DID!” only for the green cat to exclaim, “NO YOU DIDN’T!” The white cat retorts, “HOW DO YOU KNOW?” setting the tone for the morning's chaos.

The second panel zooms in on the white cat’s glinting, unbrushed teeth as the green cat exasperatedly repeats, “TEETH!”

Next, the green cat finds a yellow cat back in bed and queries, “ARE YOU BACK IN BED?” The sleepy yellow cat responds, “I’LL START TOMORROW,” prompting the green cat to push the yellow cat out of bed with a frustrated, “GET UP!” The yellow cat tumbles out of bed, still looking exhausted.

In the fifth panel, the green cat points to a pile of toys and clutter and exclaims, “HAS THIS BEEN IN HERE SINCE LAST YEAR?” A small, fluffy grey cat is seen holding a fidget spinner amidst the mess.

The chaotic morning continues as the green cat asks the yellow cat, “WHERE IS YOUR OTHER SHOE?” The laid-back yellow cat, holding just one shoe, replies, “JUST ONE IS COOL.” The green cat, looking shocked, shouts, “NO!!”

The green cat then pushes both the yellow and grey cats through an entryway while shouting, “GO! GO! GO!” The scene is lively and chaotic.

In a humorous twist, the final panel shows a close-up of the green cat holding a smartphone. The screen displays a photo of the yellow and grey cats with a sign that reads, “EXCITED FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!” The green cat’s thought bubble reads, “LYING SMILES.”

This comic strip has resonated with many parents and students alike, capturing the relatable madness of school mornings. One commenter humorously noted, “Oddly, my kid is excited for school. He’s 6 poor b*****,” while another found the phrase “lying smiles” to be pure gold. The comic also sparked discussions about childhood behavior, with one user reminiscing, “Dad said I had senioritis since kindergarten. Looking back, I must’ve been an absolute delight to deal with when I was that young.”

The comic strip’s bright colors and expressive faces bring the characters' emotions to life, making it a delightful and engaging read. As families everywhere gear up for the new school year, "Back to School" serves as a humorous reminder that sometimes, the best-laid plans can go hilariously awry.
