By John Zakour (writer) & Scott Roberts (artist)
Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

Notice that, even with the best of intentions, someone at gocomics selected a very old piece of art to promote Working Daze. That’s a Kyle drawing from ten years ago. I mean, check out the style of computer! Think Jay has one like that on his desk anymore?

Remember at the old site, they were still using some of Andre’s stuff as well!

LOL @ Maria!! Hmm, daydreaming in class again? ;-)
p.s. The answer to the question in panel 1 is YES!

Perhaps, but that wasn’t in the teacher’s edition.

I bet the teacher has a mega-jar of asprins in her desk. Or maybe one of those squishy stress relievers in the shape of Maria.

Is she any relation to Caulfield over at Frazz?

Caufield is a smart kid bored by the class level he is in. So he spends his time confounding the teachers. Maria isn’t like that. She could be if she wanted to.

Maria is intelligent but she just wants things her way but with the least possible effort…

I think that Maria is bored by school.

Being bored with school doesn’t automatically make you smarter than the classes. (There was an early Simpsons on that with Bart.) But sometimes some students need different stimulus to learn.

Though it did happen to my Dad in the 5th grade. He was left back, but he was already ahead of the class he’d been in. He just got bored and didn’t do the work.

Maria Sure Is Like Me.
