Go to the author’s site and flip through the comics there, some real funny stuff.

What’s the point of this comment? Do you offer anything to the discussion here, or do you just want to impress us with this empty critique?

“Wow, this commenter is so wise on Beijing Cream, he called a comic CLICHE!”

“Whoah, we totally never heard that one before.”

Really, don’t you have anything better to be doing?

That’s deep. I never thought of it that way, totally not a cliche! You got me, I was wrong, I really missed that incredibly complex joke, now that you have spelled it out in baby language I can see that this cartoon is, indeed, witty and fresh beyond belief!

I especially like the juxtaposition of overdone social commentary and kid-like artistic quality. Very clever indeed. Looking forward to next week. Hope the quality won’t dwindle.

The goal is not to imply that all ESL teachers are drunken Westerners, which is indeed a dumb cliche, but to point out the irony of not hiring a well-dressed, professional-looking African person because “kids are scared” but then hiring very low-standard, scarier Caucasians. No?
