Description for 's "Chandraraj's School's Back Contest".

It's the first day of school for Zoe Gruber and she's NOT happy. She sits in class bummed, and reminisces about her recent summer fun.

Also in this picture is an older version of 's Horseradish Verstein(black haired girl in blue). As for the duck, Deviantart poster and other strange items, at least one of them was required. I put in as many as I could.

Back to school is the worst. Also, why is there a duck in class?

I think everyone who's been a kid can attest to that. As for the duck, one rule of the contest was to include a number of specific objects in somewhere. The duck was one, as was the ukelele and the kid in back's Mohawk.

Especially the first few weeks, after 3 months of sun and fun.

Oh that must be a drag. The one good thing about working as opposed to going to school is my schedule never changes from summer to winter, so I don't have to sweat it when fall comes.

Cool, you've got Horseradish in there.

EarthVStheDerek In reply to ShaneJensenToons [2009-10-04 20:49:51 +0000 UTC]

True. For me, the feeling of dread stopped once I started college. Another plus about working: getting paid!

I'm glad I got the chance to draw Horseradish. has great characters.

Thanks. When I had this idea, my next thought was "Yesterday would go well with it".

Best thing about school: it's eventually over.

Thanks for the fave.

This is a great job!!! (I'll give an official 'grade' when the deadline pops up) This is amazingly funny, and so true. And love the song reference AND, you're an over-achiever, you used a lot of the necessities. Love the random duck, Horseradish is cute, the mohawk kid with a ukulele (I knew a kid who carried a ukulele around!), but probably the funniest: The WWII book with Churchill on it. That was a great job!

Again, I'll give an official 'grade' when the deadline rears it's ugly head. As a fan, AWESOME JOB

I'm glad you like it. I was originally only gonna have the duck, but then I thought "What the hell?" and did the rest. Don't forget the DA Fella poster.

Thanks for the fave, as well.

Great design on this pic! Funny enough, I did a sketch a few days back very similar to this. Maybe I'd post it up one day. Either way, you did an awesome job on this one so well done!

Thanks very much. Sorry. Didn't know you were doing something like this. Great minds think alike, I guess. You should still submit it, though.

Thanks again.

No apologies needed, I'm sure neither of us knew ahead of time! I just thought it was a funny coincidence.

I'm not surprised, though. I was actually afraid of someone doing this idea and beating me to the punch.

Poor her! At least I won't be at school this year because I'll be at college (the British one) (I hated school because of my peers and dinners DX )

I like to do that contest but I need to pick which character.

Good for you. High school is an aspie's worst nightmare. I go back to college nedt week. I'm taking animation and math.

You should do one with Candy and Floss. Or maybe the St. Beestings kids.
