Love Zoey’s expression there at the end. She’s apparently realizing that the teacher is right, she has gone a little overboard on this. Now how is this going to play with the rest of the student body? Surprise win by Sandra or that boy who was the fourth candidate onstage for the debate?
Have we seen this teacher before?
Did anyone’s manifesto contain a pledge about paper recycling? >:=)>
I’d like to know what Taylor did to the physics room.
I assume that she didn’t do the same as Zoey did.
Maybe she set up some sort of clever contraption in physics room to campaign for herself.
“I disagree. You have inadvertently encouraged me to stay as far from the physics room as possible.”
Zoey, then?
The guy in the back is a hero!
God, reminds me of middle school student board elections.
This is why George Washington knew differing political parties was a bad idea
I like the expressions on the teacher, she’s like:
Uh something wrong, this is a bit extreme.
Also, I wonder if Larisa spelled Sandra’s name is fire in one of the other rooms. That would make sense.

“This is totally normal.”
@ Devin064:
He’s also got two on the front of his shirt, and who knows how many on the places we can’t see.
My response to seeing this would be to kill it with fire… so apparently I’m more like Larisa than I thought.
@ Wanderer:
You’re not alone!
Just Zoey.
Just Zoey.
Just Zoey.
Just Zoey.
Just Zoey.
Sandra’s campaign Team is more into social media.
Advantage: teacher doesn’t notice… 😉
Just be glad the kids don’t have the money for radio and TV ads.
@ Wizard:
You sure?
Of course now we need to know what Taylor did in the physics room. And it really needs to be something impressive.
Am I crazy or are those flyers tacked to those student’s faces? And they’re calmly sitting there?
@ Hawk:
I’m crazy. . . it’s tape. Darn, I thought it was really going to get warped but that’s just me.

I mean, wouldn’t Larisa an a flamethrower be enough to run a TV ad.
And, btw, if it’s their own TV channel, they don’t have to pay anyways.

No, it isn’t. There are not even differing political parties in the comic, it’s campaign for single candidates. Out of all detriments of a system of political parties in a democracy, more annoying advertising during campaigns is certainly not one of them, you’d rather have more if every candidate for parliament had to advertise himself and the policies he stands for individually.
Reminds me of… pretty much every single election I’ve seen back home in Turkey.
This is like those movies where people put up “Missing” posters every six inches along the street.
I don’t know about anyone else, but something like that would make me even less likely to vote for whoever’s face was on them.

More important question… Who is the cute girl next to Zoey…
Am I the only one assuming this is all part of Larisa’s plan?
If Taylor has misbehaved just as much as Zoey, maybe Sandra can write off Larisa’s antics as Larisa’s own ideas (more or less true even) and have a chance. Zoey and Taylor are making themselves coming off as incredible poor choices of class representatives.
Yeah, Zoey might have overdone it a little.
Just a smidge, though.
See Sandra asked the wrong person to help her with her campaign.
She should have asked Yuna and the universe be damned.
Zoey best not be campaigning on a platform of environmentalism, with several forests worth of dead trees now plastering the school. :/
I wonder how much they are getting paid to serve as an walking advertisement, as well how much they spent on the paper and ink for all the posters after all if they went that far in that class room alone then it’s likely that there is more outside in the hallway.
The posters on the students are a nice touch.
We never had school elections in New Zealand that I can recall. There is one for university student unions, but as far as I could tell there was no campaigning performed.
No transcripts for the last few strips, still sick?
I want to see the physics room right now!
I have read through the entire thing again a few days ago and noticed Larisas dislike for anime due to the lack of search results under the tag “fire”.
I would love to see her reaction to Natsu Dragneel. A character from the anime Fairy Tail who is basically always surrounded by fire and destruction (mostly caused by himself).

Wasn’t it graphic novels rather than anime?
Reminds me of my own elementary school student council elections. In the end, we were granted just enough power to have one day declared “Watermelon Day”, which was somewhat lackluster given that we were not given any money to buy the watermelons, nor allowed a fundraiser to raise money for watermelons, nor were people able to bring watermelons given that it was only announced that day after we were in class.
I’m of the opinion that males are wildly underrepresented in this whole campaign process and someone needs to get sued. 😀
@ Cobalt:
There is a manga and it was turned into an anime with multiple seasons. Even has two movies.
@ Crystalgate:
Misbehaviour?
That’s the very mark of a true politician who wishes to change society for the better; someone who casts aside the chains of societal norms and pushes for the deeply complex changes needed to bring said society in the future.
It’s no longer possible to consider things other than Taylor in the physics room.
@ Ephesus:
Wait, so are you saying it’s specifically a parody of Turkish elections?
@ Steve:
No, if men wanted to lead, they’d run their own campaign without having to have it handed to them like privileged babies. Let them relax and let the women do all the hard work.
