ALA Fairy Tale Tidbits

Cleaning up the dregs at the bottom of my ideas pot:

Chapter One: Mohamadou’s Adventures in Birthday Land
Not many weeks ago it was Mohamadou’s birthday, and we had surprise party for him. Nothing new there. What was new was the way that we got him to turn up. Somehow, Madia, convinced him that the Ambassador of Senegal was visiting to meet all of his country’s students in the side dining room at 7:30pm. Dutifully, Mohamadou cleaned up. He shaved his head, and put on his nicest, whitest shirt and his swankiest shoes. When he arrived looking very dapper, he found a cake and candles instead of a diplomat.

Chapter Two: The Amazing Mohamadou Part II, Return of the Scudder
Some of you may also know Mohamadou as ALA’s resident human flea. He can touch the lights hanging from the dining hall ceiling from a standing start. I’m serious. Whenever we play frisbee, he catches anything within a 10m radius.

This is a cartoon I’ve wanted to draw from a while, but, ladles and gentlespoons, please welcome The Amazing Mohamadou!!

I have no idea how to get rid of the html script in the middle of the comic. It's likely that even Mohamadou's inexorable powers couldn't help me to overcome Google's bewildering linguistic underbelly.

Chapter Three: Lucky Teboho
Have you ever wondered how student government officials get their names?





Chapter Four: Mr. O has a Bee in His Bonnet
While we were at Kruger National Park, Mr. O performed one of the most thorough bee-killings I have ever seen. After circumnavigating his head for five torturous minutes, the insect made a fatal mistake and flew right into his Sprite can. It most likely drowned instantly, but Mr. O wanted revenge. He stopped squawking in fear, bellowed in masculine triumph, put his hand on top of the can, and shook vigorously. The bee's dead body was pummeled in a sea of carbonated lemon-froth.

Final Score: Mr. O: 1, Bee: 0



The End.
