A decade is a long time and, in the world of the Internet, ten years can feel like lifetimes. Suicide Girls has been around for just a little longer than that. Launched in 2001, the web site came into being when many were still using Yahoo Groups and AOL rooms to commune with friends. They started in an age when dial-up was common and getting booted offline in the middle of an AIM chat was normal.

In fact, this whole Internet thing was still so new when Suicide Girls started that contributors would sometimes call ringleader Missy Suicide to dictate their journal entries to her. “It was still a very different time,” says Missy while seated at her desk inside Suicide Girls HQ. “People didn’t participate online as much as they do now.”

Our lesson for last class was on Maurice Sendak. An inspiration to lovers of pictures and stories everywhere, he recently passed away. To commemorate him, as such an important figure in the world of illustration, and an incredible human being– the past Comics for Kids Lesson was an introduction to his work, and the infamous “Wild Things!”

At the end, students had the option create monsters– “Wild Things”– of your own! Below is the lesson we went over in class. And below that, is everyone’s work. Scroll down and have fun reading!

There are very few comedy festivals as prestigious as Montreal’s Just For Laughs, which is why we are pleased to present a showcase show wherein some of our favorite local comedians will be scouted to potentially perform in Montreal this Monday at 8pm!

We want the hottest, jammed packed crowd possible for our comedian debutants at this coming out party (strained analogy, we know) so we’re setting ticket prices at five dollars, a bargain! The lineup is being kept silence until the show, but past New Faces include Kumail Nanjiani, Pete Holmes and Kristen Schaal! What are you waiting for? Get those tickets!

BONUS: the High-5 Man!

Every week, if you come to The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, this is what you get.
