Let's American style comic!!

Postby Neo-Rio » Mon Apr 05, 2004 3:58 pm

Some bored English teacher got together 100 students and told them to fill in the blanks to various comic strips (ripped from "Penny Arcade").
The results are hilarious. Reminds me of the good ol' days of teaching English to Junior High students.

I can't wait to see what my students come up with for this!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

Mod Edit Please?

Seeing as how the linked image in the first post is a direct link and appearing on the front page, perhaps the mods can edit it to display a link instead of an image? Especially since the guy's site went down due to excessive bandwidth usage.

I think that had more to do with it being listed on Fark and Penny Arcade at the same time, than from showing up on FG. (Not to take anything away from FG, mind you.)

Nothing like getting farked and wanged at the same time! 8O

The slashdotting, farking and wanging have all passed, and the site's accessable again. Here are my two fave Japan-related ones. (If they're hard to read, click 'em to see larger versions.)
