My latest cartoon for Guardian Books.

my co-instructor has come up with an ingenious way of getting the kiddos to quiet down without making them sad. at the beginning of class he says "we'll play a game called puffer fish! when i say "puffer fish" then everyone has to imitate a puffer fish!" so when everyone is talking all at once and disrupting he shouts out "puffer fish!" and every single kid without fail closes their lips and puffs their cheeks quickly. there are no consequences for failing to do the puffer fish. the kids just really love the puffer fish.

a real life living person set time aside to design that
