Comics and Conversation: Using Humor to Elicit Conversation and Develop Vocabulary #[nn]
☆ Be the first to reviewThis is a 1985 educational resource from JAG Publications, designed to use comic strips and humor as tools for sparking conversation and building vocabulary in a classroom or language-learning setting. Rather than collecting a specific story arc or superhero tales, it focuses on pedagogical methods, likely featuring sample comics and discussion prompts to help teachers engage students in dialogue and word development.
"Angry Policeman" is a sharp, playful comic from 1985 by Sergio Aragonés, who wrote, drew, and inked the entire story. It captures a classroom moment with humor and precision, as a single paper wad sparks a wave of blame—leaving the classmate known for knowing all the answers suddenly on the defensive. The cover, also by Aragonés, perfectly mirrors the story’s chaotic energy.
