Benny & Sid Presents Chapter 7 of the Serialized Graphic Novel The Truant Officer

The latest installment of Salem's only original online cartoon series.

By Glen Bledsoe

(Your City, USA) - Life is busy enough when everything goes smoothly. What drives you nuts is when something goes wrong.

Like the flat tire you got last winter when it was 12 below.

Like the bank statement which tells you your account is overdrawn when it couldn't be.

You can straighten it out, sure, but you're going have to take off from work to do it.

Being the target of unknown pranksters is galling when you've got a job to do, too.

Especially when you're an undercover Truant Officer and your job is keeping kids in school.
