Tyler-Subzero

Another graphic memoir. As a kid one never really considers the feeling of the substitute teacher. I mean, the word substitute practically means mediocrity, at least to an elementary school kid, though they may not yet know what mediocrity, or substitute for the matter, even means. Regardless, in college, when subs are non-existent, you dont think back to your grade school days to reconsider your treatment of the subs. I, for one, will totally admit to being an asshole to the substitutes in middle and high school. So bad that when we had a repeat teacher, they'd remember me as the smart-ass goth kid.  No good. Reading this made me rethink it. Maybe this should be something everyone reads. We've all had subs, or most of us have, anyway, and its my opinion that no matter who you are, there is going to be a part of you that thinks the sub is, well, sub-par to the teacher, and therefore perfect territory for walking all over and mocking. I really loved this, though the font was a little small for reading, and the illustrations, though very very good, weren't aesthetically appealing, at least to me.
