Teacher Hero: a personalized comic book gift
One stare from them silences a room. Add a coffee mug with a pun on it and a stack of grading that never shrinks, and you have a legend. Teachers deserve more than another apple-shaped trinket, so make them the hero of their own comic. Their face is on every page as they wrestle the photocopier, survive the museum trip and keep the faculty meeting under control with superhero calm. Add their subject, their famous classroom catchphrase and their desk habits, and the story is written around their real teaching life.

Questions about this comic
Can the story include their real subject and classroom quirks?
Yes. Tell us what they teach, their famous catchphrases and their classroom habits in the hero questions, and add staff room legends in the 'anything special' field. The story is written around those details.
Is this a good end-of-year gift from colleagues?
Yes. It works well as a group gift from fellow teachers. Colleagues can appear in the story when you mention them, and if you want some loving teasing about the never-ending grading pile, just say so in your answers.
