Hey class! I’m Ms. Mojo Rose, and I create teacher comics. I first started getting ideas for my comic strips when I was earning my credential in 2013. I imagined little kids chanting songs about my bad lesson plans and twerking during flag salute. I was, very clearly, sleep-deprived.

The sleep never really came back to me, but more drawing ideas did. After a post blew up on Reddit, I created an official “Summers Off” Instagram and dedicated my time to growing the page into one of the top teacher jokes and comics online today. To my surprise, not only could school teachers relate to these cartoon drawings, but parents and students could as well.

So now, I present you with 76 of my webcomics that helped me stay sane as I navigated through the triumphs, heartbreaks, and headaches of teaching elementary school children.

    parent's signature for SCIENCE, about YOUR BODY!! WTF this is terrible, I hope teachers can help explain this and parents help her at home, sometimes when you have trouble at school a teachers support is more important than a parents and THIS is so not okay.

    Is this for real? I hope my kids teachers don't have to pay for broken laptops. Luckily my kids have been careful with theirs so far.

    When a kid gets on the ground during playtime, I always count to 10 before I check on them. They love throwing themselves on the ground, I don't know what's that about, but I guess it must be fun. 9 times out of ten, they get up before I reach 10. The 10th kid has a booboo but they're ok too. :D

    That's not fatigue, that's just Being-A-Teacher syndrome. You might want to get some cream for it.

    I can't relate but it does feel more awkward when you are taller/same height as a teacher and yell at them.

    As a teacher of 10 years, I can vouch for it. You don't have time to read the latest approaches, strategies, ideas, etc during term time. Holidays give you a chance to read and plan with minimal interruptions.

    I don't know whether he is lying or not but I am going to say this anyway: I feel like we all did something like this when we were little and still in school, like saying something like "My dad was sick so I had to take care of him cuz my mom was at work etc.etc." to make the teacher feel bad for you.

    Most people don't know, but state testing actually costs the school millions of dollars.
