Hilary Florido, Prescription Strength. Hey! 4-Eyes, no. 3. 2009
Hilary Florido’s “Prescription Strength” is a silly spoof of the “never hit a kid in glasses” rule—at least I hope it’s a spoof! Stylishly drawn and funny, it’s a quick read and will be popular with anyone who wears specs or has witnessed a grade-school fight. And that’s pretty much anyone. This story is soon to be posted on Florido’s brand-new site, but in the meantime, she’s kindly let us post all three pages here. Full disclosure: Hilary is a former student, and has been known to babysit our children.
Age: Grades 4-6, unless jokey cartoon violence is a problem for you…see below.

“Double the bridge, double the terror…”
Love the comic! Brings me back to grade school days — they were pretty much exactly like this.
