Sparkcomics for Children of the Future

My student wasn't in school today, so I had a lot of down time. I read and ate lots of junk food. Then I walked down to the storage closet and grabbed a brand new composition notebook and started drawing. Here's what I came up with: Sparkcomics of "great" classics. Why bother reading all those Sparknotes when I found I could fit a whole book into a mere five frames? So I give you ladies and gentlemen, the first official Sparkcomics. See if you can figure out the books they portray 'cause telling you would be just too easy.

Poem 1














Locked in my little car
I am the only person in the world
That sees this view
Hazy sun off to my left
Seeing the dark side of trees, ebony
Beautiful Maya blue sky - luminous hue
Grass fresh and Harlequin
Early morn never looked this good to me
I must travel on my way
Wish I could stay
I'd lay on the lawn
Close my eyes, smiling at dawn
