13 September 2019 - "The Pen is Mightier than the Attention Span"
The right school supplies can make the new school year seem just a bit more magical, especially when one of them is a sparkling novelty pen filled with floating glitter and other tiny surprises! Attention-grabbing pens like these have fun themes associated with them (like stars or summer or animals), and can be an entertaining distraction while trying to conjure up what to write or draw!
Do you enjoy floating glitter novelty pens or have any of your own? What theme would your ideal pen have, and what would be in it?
Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Andrea is excitedly holding a sparkling gold pen. Melanie is next to her with an outstretched hand toward the pen and has a surprised look on her face.
Andrea: "My dad gave me a Paleontology novelty pen for good luck with the new school year!"
Melanie: "A what pen? Let me see!"
Panel 2: The panel shows a close up of the top half of the golden pen, revealing a cylinder containing sparkling glitter in shades of orange and gold, along with golden dinosaur shapes floating in a clear liquid.
Melanie: "Whoa, it has glitter and dinosaurs in it!"
Andrea: "It's supposed to be like uncovering fossils."
Panel 3: Andrea watches as Melanie flips the pen up and down, observing the falling glitter repeatedly. Kay eats a cookie as she watches, and Mr. Sprinkles is raising his paw towards Kay, with an annoyed expression on his face.
Melanie: "It's kind of cool, actually."
Panel 4: Andrea is apprehensively reaching for the pen while Melanie, Kay, and Mr. Sprinkles are hypnotized by the floating glitter in the pen that Melanie continues to flip.
Andrea: "Uh....Melanie, can I have my pen back now? ...Melanie? Melanie?"
