Paping Teacher's Edition

Straddling formats between zine, book, and artist book - this is a collection of John Meijas' various zines and comics from time he spent working as a teacher. Some stories are funny or minimalist comics. Others are serious and warming or heart wrenching. He shares a love of The Clash with his co-worker, organizes to paint murals in the school, and dealing with unpleasant students, principals, and school boards. The packaging and presentation is pretty artistic and much of the enjoyability of this is the depth and variety with which he explores the situations as well as the varieties of artwork presented. I'm generally impressed by everything they do as the bar of quality is set really high with each issue.
