Kudos to Taylor for refining the dialogue at the end here. I couldn’t have done better myself.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Despite having a joke at the end, you really have to put yourself into Ma’s place when drawing a strip like this.

334-Missing You
(Author’s Note):
I missed my wife once. She did not make the same mistake as she has better aim than I do.
(Illustrator’s Note):
No joke. I totally missed those posters when reading the script.
323-Okie Dokie
(Author’s Note):
This is our first attempt at a cross-chapter carryover meta-storyarc. Expect disaster.
(Illustrator’s Note):
How did they get bandages on them?
322-Super Skooled Origins: ???
(Author’s Note):
What’s in a name?
Letters. Duh.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Help Frankie out, here. What other names can you come up with?
321-Super Skooled Origins: Lampshade
(Author’s Note):
Curiosity placed the cat in a position where it wished that it didn’t have to use the healthcare system.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Kinda weird seeing Liz without glasses.
320-Event Horizon
(Author’s Note):
We cut this chapter short because I ran out of ideas. There’s only so many ways to make jokes about, “hurr durr, parents, amirite?”
(Illustrator’s Note):
This chapter ends up being a little shorter than usual. We decided we really wanted to split up the focus on the parent-teacher conferences and what’s about to happen next.
Inktoberween 2019
Happy Octoberween, everybody!
This year I decided to include the comic in “Ink-Blot-tober.”
Instead of doing “Inktober” where artists challenge themselves to do one small and easy drawing every day of the month, I take part in absolutely tormenting myself by committing to entire complex multi-level digital illustrations multiple times per week. Everything is done in the old “Inkblot/Rubber Hose” cartoon style, and always with a sort of ragtime/creepy/spooky feel to match with both the feel of the old 1920s cartoons and the fact that it works with October being Halloween month.
Since I started doing this three years ago, I’ve been wanting to add Super Skooled into the mix and while I still haven’t achieved my dream of Ink-Blot-ifying an actual strip (Due to being close to the end of the chapter,) At least I can include you in the enjoyment of seeing rubber-hose Brad and Draco.
I suppose this doesn’t actually have the most Halloween-ish feel to it but Draco is dressed as a mad scientist and Brad is clearly wearing a costume, so… I’m counting it.
319-Punchline
(Author’s Note):
Is this strip punching down or up? You decide!

318-Dumble Vision
(Author’s Note):
Two Brads? Now we’re in for it.
(Illustrator’s Note):
I am so sorry, everyone. I totally thought today was Thursday. I got this strip started on what I thought was Wednesday. Here I was about to post this for tomorrow and I’ve been a day behind this whole time… 😓
317-Saved by the Bell Tolls for You
(Author’s Note):
Apparently, it’s Knight Man’s day–err night off.
(Illustrator’s Note):
What time is it? IT’S GLOWING GREEN LASER TIME! THAT’S WHAT TIME IT IS!
