It would seem that the students have to rest for almost a month, and you can forget about the other word with the letter "w" for now. But in the meantime, the teachers are already going to work, and the parents are secretly counting the money in their money-box: will there be enough funds to go to school after summer trips? On the one hand, it's time to shake up the closets, discover that the sleeves are hopelessly short, and the trousers can still be lengthened by a familiar seamstress. On the other hand, it's time to whine that you have to change into hot and biting clothes a hundred times. And the main thing is to remember that August will inevitably end. In general, the usual school fees. As usual, nothing parent-student is alien to American cartoonists.
1. First flyers
Summer holidays end the day the first school fair flyers begin to fall on children's heads. After that, the mood is not the same, but you can best scare your friends around the fire. So did the inhabitant of the Mosquito camp on the cartoon of the American Joe Heller: “A mad swamp monster that kills everyone with an ax? I just saw the first school sale flyer!"
2. Children to school - mothers to dance!
Expansion will soon come for parents: the beloved child will go to gnaw granite and stop hanging around at home all day, but you will not envy the children: they are now sitting from ring to ring. Canadian cartoonist Thomas Boldt sympathizes with both.
3. "School uniform"
In the good old days, for which grandfather is nostalgic, bulletproof vests were not sold in school bazaars. Supports the longing for the past by cartoonist Steve Nease.
4. Parents cry too
What are the fees for school without family drama? And what a family drama without shouting: "We are ruined!" In this case, a school bazaar. In a drawing by American cartoonist Randy Bish, a mother urges her son to go play: "You know how dad feels after shopping for school."
5. Cloudy with a chance of Santa Claus
School fees are over, and, thank God, the commotion has subsided. "Uh, okay, it's over"? Caricaturist Thomas Boldt advises not to lose vigilance because heavy rainfall is possible. Far from centimeters, but kilometers of Christmas sales, hustle and bustle await unsuspecting inhabitants. What to do, Santa Claus will never fall on anyone's head for no reason.

The oldest and most vibrant bazaars from around the world: What you can buy and how to behave
Since ancient times, people have traded among themselves in market squares. Over time, shops, a supermarket, hypermarkets appeared, but for fresh products, and for other quality goods, people invariably go to the markets. In many countries there are bazaars where trade has been conducted for more than one century, and in such places there are rules, which will not be superfluous to know about everyone who comes here
Pay your taxes and stretch your legs: the work of American cartoonists
Nobody wants to deliver hard-earned "killed raccoons" to their homeland. After all, money is not a smile: if you share it with someone, then it is not a fact that they "will return to you more than once." However, why not make such an unpleasant procedure as filing a tax return a reason for a smile: sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad, sometimes caustic? Foreign cartoonists tried to combine business with pleasure and socially useful and show what happens on April 15, the last day of filing tax returns
The Pros and Cons of Abortion: American Cartoonists on Family Planning
Abortion - a license to kill or a conscious necessity? Are the souls of unborn children appealing to our conscience, or are they not children at all? From how many months or weeks can an embryo be considered a human? Family - a state within a state, and something like a five-year plan will not interfere with it? Or the more casual, the more true? Physicians and theologians will argue forever. American cartoonists also present the drawn pros and cons of abortion
In Guns We Trust: American Firearms Cartoonists
Some hope for God, while others try not to make a mistake themselves. Others, according to a 2005 Gallup poll, are 30% in the United States. For some of them, the place of God is taken by guns and pistols: in guns we trust (we believe in barrels). What do insects have to do with the problem of weapons, what a new species of Arizona cactus looks like, and what little children need to buy, American cartoonists know
The moon and a penny for her exploration: American cartoonists on funding space programs
Space exploration has always been costly. And if the budget is lame, and the external debt of the state is growing by leaps and bounds, then the government has to abandon heavenly affairs and focus on earthly ones. American cartoonists, as always, are aware of all the problems and are ready to offer humorous ways to solve them
