CONFINED IF


Now that Christmas vacation is over, I'm sure the school bus drivers are feeling a bit confined again. If you are a bus driver... God bless you for all you do!

  5. Very funny, and a great image!! I could never be a bus driver! The bus is a strange place, and a good bus driver can make a huge difference. My boys had one who said he wasn't allowed to give out treats at Christmas, but he couldn't help it if the kids took them! He also sped up to go flying over a dip in the road-- the kids loved him!

  7. What a great illustration! I remember sitting in a school bus just like that. And you have captured the feeling of not being able to get off to escape from the noise and bedlam in the bus and the overwhelming sense of being out of control. I was the wimpy kid who didn't laugh but you can't see me there. LOL

  10. This is great Jack - that poor busdriver looks mighty tired and confined! Both my boys come home with bus riding tales all the time. Eventhough their drivers are cranky, I know it's a tough job, so I make them Christmas cookies every year anyway! LOVE your characters!

  15. Hi Jack! Thanks for the comment about Diane and Noodles. I thought that picture was priceless too! I can't be tired of the snow yet, I'm sure we'll be getting a lot more for alot longer, so I better be stingy with my exasperation of it or it will send me over the edge!

    You hit the nail on the head with this weeks illustration. I can only imagine what that must be like for the bus driver!
