  1. Has anyone ever heard of a nun teaching in a public school? I guess it’s possible…

  2. I don’t think nuns have taught in public schools for decades — not in habits, anyway.

    But even if they did, they certainly wouldn’t be teaching theology.

  6. Maybe it’s not a Catholic school… maybe it’s Halloween and the teacher is dressed as a nun. She’s having people call her “sister” for the day.

  8. My 12th grade math teacher was an elderly woman with an identical twin who was a nun. We didn’t know this. One day we came to class and there was (we thought) our teacher sitting behind her desk wearing a traditional habit.

    And then a few minutes later our teacher walked in.

    Apparently it was a gag they pulled every few years.

  10. What a great CIDU!, at first seemingly impossible and then credibly solved. I’m glad it took 3 hours ’cause I got to read the headline every time I came back.
    This one made me miss the old wait-a-week format when sometimes (what I thought was) the answer would hit me on the 4th or 5th day.

    I’ve added “Soup to Nutz” to my daily reading.

  12. um, this isn’t a canadian strip, is it? Canadia has some weird system where the christian schools take place in the public schools.

    I’m sure that’s not it but I just had to throw that particular weirdness out there . . .

  13. On a different note: what’s up with the fruit on the sign in the right background of the first strip. I’ve never seen this strip – is it know for random backgrounds or is it supposed to mean something?

    No, we don’t. We have public schools, and Catholic schools. You certainly won’t find a nun teaching in a public school, and I don’t know that you’d still find them teaching in Catholic schools.

  15. There is often interesting stuff going on in the background of this strip – you have to look closely. When it’s inside, a lot of times the pictures on the wall change, and frequently feature classic comics characters like Jiggs & Krazy Kat.
