I am a primary school teacher from Galway, Ireland. By day, I have the fun task of educating the next generation of kids… by night… I’m an artist! All my comics are drawn the old-school way—with a pen, paper, and a lightbox.

Not only do teachers engage with and enjoy these comics, but the students themselves seem to love the drawings and relate to the humor, which is fantastic. I hope that these comics humorously illustrate the hard work, dedication, and care that teachers provide our students every day.

My comics have been published in a book form, which has become a bestseller here in Ireland. The comics have been praised by Matt Groening and the book has since been endorsed by Mike Reiss, Emmy award-winning writer and producer of The Simpsons. I never imagined all this would have happened when I started to post the "When's it Hometime?" teacher comics online back in 2016.

You can see more of my comics on Bored Panda here, here, and here.

Well, she was busy playing and hanging out, and exploring the world. That's what children do. ♡

I knew a kid when I was young who fully understood why things were B&W on a B&W television, but just couldn't wrap his head around certain things still being B&W even on a color set.

One of my friends was telling his kids how he still had a TV that had a dial/tuner to get the channel. One kid said, "Oh yeah, that's when everything was black and white." The other kid said, "You had TV back then?!" My friend is only 35 LOL

When I was very young I 100% thought that the world was actually black and white back then.

I feel this. You start out so hyped and ready for a new school year (or whatever) and it just goes flat after a time.
