Funny how stuff turns out sometimes.

I’d actually bought the comic above hoping my wife might be able to use it in her bilingual 1st grade classroom. (Turned out to be a bit old for her kids. I tried.)

I gotta go buy this one ….

I had no idea! And I absolutely LOVE Tom’s True Story, Swear To God stuff!

I gotta find the English version! And QUICK!
