Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

They’re in health class where the teacher is a bit of an exaggerating, paranoid freak. I’m sure many are all “Wait, that’s not what chlamydia does!”, but that’s the point XD She’s not really meant to make sense. She’s just spouting nonsense and it’s just.. utterly ridiculous her claims.

My sex ed teach did the same thing.Except she threatened us with “You have sex before marriage,and your penis,or vagina will burn and have to be removed.”.That worked until….grade 8.13 year old pregnant girl,not a pretty sight for dodge ball -_-“.Great comics,reminds me of real high school ^_^

It’s really the dead and rotting pregnant girl with the big goofy smile on her face that steals this show for me.

Um… when you have Gonrrhea, blood is discharged from your genitals, not vomited from your mouth.
