Oh Walter!

Justin is the cartoonist behind “Folks”; he will be dealing with hard, real life situations like making more coffee. He hates summer reading and will snap stuff in half.

Ice Cream Cone He is shaped like an ice cream cone. He is known for wearing a polo shirt and a cherry on his head. The girls literally dig him…. with spoons. Ice Cream Cone often repeats himself, repeats himself….. and likes to bug the crap out of Justin. His is extremely stupid; after all, his brain is whipped cream.

Señor Smithy is the Spanish teacher at the kids’ school. He plans to someday take over the world. He forbids online Spanish translators, and encourages parents to break their kid’s wrists. He is famous for wearing a safari hat, and having a three foot mustache.

Mr. Smith was a teacher for the school, until he had a coffee breakdown and went crazy. He tries to “get funky” to motivate kids, hence the clown suit and wig. He raps for his students, and got fired. Mr. Smith has no where to go, so he sleeps in the school halls as a hobo. You can see him giving bad advice to teachers and students.

Tim is their barber. Walter sometimes goes just to socialize because he doesn’t even have hair. Tim is very nice and knows the kids very well. He surely loves his beard.

No one hates his job more than Mr. Smithsmite. He drinks coffee, promotes stupid policies, and smites people. He assigns the same homework over and over, and gives 50 page essays at the last minute. In college, he majored in negativity. He also encourages plagiarism.

We have no idea where their names came from. Aman-duh and Pan-duh (ta-da) are best friends and are the drama queens of the school. With purses more expensive than a small car, they are both always together. Every time someone says their name, the also say “ta-da”. Both get good grades and love taking a bite out of ice cream cone.

Dataslave is a teddy bear that lives with Justin. He has extreme A.D.D. and will drink coffee like a thirsty man in the desert. His name is ironic because he treats Justin like a slave. Whaaaa-puchhh…. Whaaaa-puchhh. He will swear like there is no @#$%ing tomorrow.

Mr. Trent used to be a boss of a DVD Kiosk company, until he .. Now he is a principal at the school. He loves to punish kids by making stupid policies. He hires complete morons as teachers. His works include hiring a dumb hill-billy, escaped convicts, crazy people, and even…. squirrels. He is also a coffee addict.
