My oldest son will be entering the harrowing world of public education before the end of the month. My wife and I are beside ourselves in anticipation and anxiety. We have done all we can to prepare him for his adventure into kindergarten with all of our experiences, both good and bad. I'm hoping that my boy will have his mother's passion for school and my knack for retaining book knowledge. I'm taking a week off from work in order to offer my wife the support she'll inevitably need and give myself some composure time.

If any of you can feel the pain I'm enduring, I need guest comics for Mangled Stare... wanna come out and play?
