Mojo Rose, in her comic series “Summers Off Comics,” illustrates the joys, the challenges, and everything in between as a school teacher. In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist shared: “I am a real-life teacher! Making comics has been a way for me to cope and process the wildness of this job. I spent 9 years in a classroom, most of the time as a 5th-grade teacher, and have since moved into instructional coaching. It’s giving me a chance to reflect on my time in the classroom, and see it now from a leadership position, which I think helps me give a more rounded point of view for my upcoming comics.”
So, without further ado, we invite you to take a look at what it’s really like to stand in front of the class full of little people with big personalities.

Every comic should be as timeless as possible (no current event references), relevant (is this an honest point of view), and kind-hearted (the last thing I want to do is to punch down).” Mojo Rose wrote: “Ultimately, I hope that readers of this comic feel seen. We say it all the time, but teaching is such a tough profession, there are all these ideas on the way a classroom should look or how a teacher should be, but the reality is much more complex. I hope that at the end of the day, teachers can read these comics and say ‘Me too!’ or ‘I’m glad it’s not just me,’ and I hope that students and parents can laugh along too while saying ‘Ooooh…is that what it’s like?’" Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
