Tuesday, June 9, 1998: P.E. class

[Happy Rutabegas year]

kind of a generic 90s kids TV scene right here.

Tackle football without pads is pretty much rugby.

[Arloest]

PS this never happens in elementary school gyms.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

yeah we played stuff like a complex variation of hide-and-seek when I was in elementary school

[NonsenseWords]

This doesn't even happen in high-school gym. Why are PE teachers always heavyset, angry jerks who pick on the protagonists? I had really nice PE teachers in my time.

(One of them was still heavyset, though.)

Still, Ozy's quite cute in that first panel.

[Maggot Brain]

I can relate to the anti-PE statement, even if it is rather exaggerated.

7/10

It has been so long since I've seen that pig!

[Segovia]

We square danced in mine.

[osprey]

I had a PE teacher who was thin, kinda meek, and probably weighed about 150 pounds.

BANG HIM

[Happy Rutabegas year]

my PE teacher was overweight but he was also really cool and a major hippie.

[Arloest]

Ozy will later get in trouble for not wearing gym shorts.

[Cactus Jack]

Its comics like this that make me wonder if DCS is even from our planet. This doesn't happen, this never happens. You can't even play dodgeball with rubber balls anymore. You can't even play two hand touch in gym class because somebody might get pushed. Gym class football is flag football, or more likely not even played.

Plus who the hell didn't like gym class? Even the unathletic people like it for the fact that its easy. All you do is play a game. Who doesn't like to play games. Even when its not a fun game, like line soccer, its still better then doing actual work.

Holla. Elementary school gym (or P.E. as it went) owned. I remember having a blast in there a thousand times over.

And it was coed. It was always coed all the way through high school.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

I thought DCS was from a more urban area, surely in some places they still have split-sex gym but I would imagine it to be more in the bible belt or something.

maybe DCS just watches too much of The Wonder Years or something.
