    Smoked so many launchers? I’ll smorke your launcher? Yeah that’s pretty on the nose.

    The teacher isn’t named in the character list. (Wasn’t there some hot male substitute teacher several story lines ago — is this the same one, or a different one?)

      Different. The other one was Dean Peterson, here: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/the-substitute/
      and in the resulting arc, which had its moments.

        Perfect name for this fellow would be Lane Hobbs (h/t to Quattermass fans).

    Otherwise known as a Screamin’ Mimi in Allied parlance… it was a seven or eight barrelled rocket launcher (seven when mounted in the two wheel carriage, eight when mounted on half tracks)…

    Now it gets funny… It literally translates to english as “Fog Lights”

    German words can be funny. I like “Kummerspeck” and “Backpfeifengesicht.”

      Even common words like apfelkuchen or schlagsahne can cause a chuckle.

      Or the long names like Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumble-meyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.

    Interesting! To the troops on the receiving end the Nebelwurfer (“Smoke Launcher”) was know as the “Screaming Meemie” AKA “Moaning Minnie.”
    Good One Leak! Pay the Pun Jar.

      Eh… I was just paraphrasing the “Hans, hol Flammenwerfer” memes…

      (Do you people even know the amount of cringe such memes induce in us German-speaking folks?! :P)

      Nebelwerfer, Flammenwerfer, Grenatenwerfer, Schwerer Minenwerfer… Basically, any time the German army decides to ‘werf’ something, it is a very good idea to be somewhere else. The immediate neighborhood is about to become distinctly unhealthy.

        I’m not from Germany, but currently their army mostly werfs it’s soldiers around the country by paying their train fares…

        AFAIK it was a security name to make other countries think it was an infantry mortar for “throwing smoke”.

      Probably an appropriate name, considering how much smoke those things threw out when launching a barrage.

      On an unrelated note, why are the students holding writing utensils when there are no notebooks or paper on their desks?

    Scarlet’s look in the background speaks volumes. Think she’ll be assigned to bring some awareness to these two?

    And some of us retain the sense of humour of a twelve year old throughout our lives.
    I mean, some people.
    Yeah, that’s it.

    You know, the teachers at Gryphon are in danger of losing a little moral authority due to their appearance. They demand all students of a certain age and older to maintain fully human forms for the entire day, and yet they themselves have various non-human features on display all day long. This horn-head teacher is just one of many. Really a bad case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”

      The kids have to maintain fully hyu-mon form during school hours as part of their uniform, plus they need to practice maintaining it

    It’s not “she’s nebeled werfs” it’s “she’s werfed nebels”. That’s what a nebelwerfer does!

      Yeah but the character’s (unintended) reversal has comedic effect.

    Really hoping those two are still friends: kinda difficult to tell if this is friendly ribbing, or un-friendly sledging

      The way they’re both grinning like idiots, I’m guessing they’re in friends-who-think-it’s-hilarious-to-insult-each-other mode.

    Die Nebelwerfer was a weapon of war, and was NEVER used in peacetime! No one EVER received the Nebel peace prize…
