NATE: Turns out there isn't any mandatory retirement age. Mr. Galvin can keep teaching as long as he wants.
TEDDY: Nuts.
NATE:Principal Nichols said Mr. Galvin would rather expire than retire.
TEDDY: Huh.
GALVIN: How's my health?
Cheez-louise, Nate: give this a rest already!! The funniest-looking character in this comic strip is not leaving anytime soon!! Or the other funny-looking ones either, for that matter!!
I can relate. In school a person tends to have a favorite teacher, and one that seems should have retired long ago. My Mr. Gavin was a Mr Knowles, clearly in his 70’s. Since that was 40 years ago, I’m sure he has retired (expired) by now. He taught Math, not my favorite subject, but for all of that he was a decent teacher.

Nate really shouldn’t hope for the current teachers to retire. The replacements could be a lot worse.

His nose is a little red, maybe he has a cold or there’s more than coffee in his coffee cup.

I’m not sick, I’m fine. And there will be new strips starting with tomorrow’s Sunday page.

I wonder if there’s a color chart somewhere that can match the guy’s health to the shade of his nose.You know, like a mood ring.

Lincoln is fine. He’s just taking a break. He said in one of his comments. Cartoonists get 2 weeks break for every year.
