A Silly Comic About Some Monsters That Live In Classrooms. Look More Closely At Your School Supplies.

The first four pages of a zine. The background of all pages is cream paper with blue lines. The top page says Classroom Monsters! in black letters. The M in monsters is covered in blue fur with two teeth at the bottom of the M. Below that it says Ari Coester and @astro-axolotl. Around the edges of the paper are a piece of each of the monsters in the pages of the books. Clockwise from top: an insect mouth with sharp teeth, a blue snail tail leaving a trail of dark purple glittery slime, two eyes on stalks, two triangular horns, an insect leg, and a scaly tail with a yellow paper airplane on the tail. 
The next page is titled Munch Box in red. It is an orange lunch box with a red devil tail, blue furry legs with white claws, and a red forked tongue coming out from between sharp teeth. It has two cream horns near a gold handle. Its eye stares at the viewer. The text below reads "looks like a lunch box to trick you into putting food into it. DO NOT FEED!!"
The next page says Pencil Eater in Red. It is a red pencil sharpener with 4 black insect legs on the left and two on the right. The hole of the sharpener has three sharp teeth, two on top and one on bottom. A crest of pencil shaving comes out of the back. Two eyes on stalks are on the opposite side of the hole and stare back at the viewer. The text below says: "Eats pencil lead. Keeps wood shaving on back to look bigger. "
The last page is titled Eraser Crab in red. It's a pink pencil eraser topper with an eye in the hole and a small red semi-circular mouth beneath it. In the mouth is a pencil shaving. It has eight red legs, four on each side. The text below says "scavenge pencil shavings. switch eraser shells as they get bigger."
The last three pages of the zine. The top page is titled Spider Plant. It is a terracota pot with a succulent in the dirt. The center bud of the succulent is red purple and the rest of the leaves are green. The pot has one large eye and two stickers: a star and a rainbow. It has 8 legs arranged in a circle around the water catching dish. The text  below says "gives the plant a home in exchange for sugars. Plant also helps camouflage." 
The next page is titled in red "Paper Griffen". It's a yellow paper airplane with blue squiggles drawn all over it and an eye near the nose. Two orange bird legs with sharp talons are curled beneath the body. A green scaled tail comes from the central crease and curls around the plane. The tip has a smaller paper air plane. There are black motion lines near the tail. The text reads "can't fly, only glide. uses tail for steering." The last page is titled in red Snue. It's a purple glitter glue bottle with slightly off Elmer's branding and lettering. The orange cap has two eyes on blue stalks coming out of it. The foot of the snue comes out of the underside of the bottle. It is light blue and leaves behind a trail of purple glitter glue. The small text reads "Can pull whole body into bottle for safety. Leaves behind a glittery slime trail."

A silly comic about some monsters that live in classrooms. Look more closely at your school supplies.

A 13 year-old squats in a puddle of blood in 3/4 view with her back mostly to the camera. She has black and white converses, black pants, and an oversized jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up around her wrists. On the shoulder of the jacket, there's a black circular patch with a red dog's paw in the center. The half of her head closest to the camera has shaved short, pink hair. The other half of her head has three spikes of pink hair with the last one falling over her face. She smokes a cigarette nonchalantly. The smoke swirls over her shoulders and coalesces above her head in the silhouette of a snarling dog. Its eye is a glittering red diamond. The background is a dark green that becomes slightly bluer towards the center, vertical strokes give a sense of walls closing in.

Another day, another oc (Dogslobber) and another osha violation. (pretty sure 14 year olds are not legally allowed to smoke and that blood puddles are work place hazards).

A tea shop in the early morning light with pinkish tile floors and aquamarine walls. Along the left wall, there's a small wood table with two brass samovars and a few paper sample cups. Next to it, a bookshelf filled with brass tea containers. A set of three wooden counters arranged in a square with an open side on the left. Behind it, A purple curtain shuts off the back from the front of the shop. The furthest counter from the viewer has three old-fashioned style candy jars brimming with scones and a pastry case filled with tarts, cookies, cinnamon rolls and lemon bars. The two shelves inside the counter are filled with white cups and tea pots and black trays. Behind the cash register, a blond man in his early twenties stands wearing a white collared long-sleeve shirt, a green apron, and black pants. He pours a cup of tea into a pot. He looks over his shoulder smiling as the steam coalesces into a translucent humpback whale.

No whales were hurt in in the making of this tea.

A person lit from the left side by lavender stage lights jumping in the air and playing a cherry red bass guitar. Her pink hair in a ponytail flies around her right shoulder. Her black leather jacket and combat boots shine in the light. Her jeans are a pale baby blue and her t-shirt is white. She's smiling softly, completely at peace. The dark purple of the venue masks the crowd completely.

I missed drawing her. Have a show still of Kira Reed-Rodriguez

A water color of small forest buffalo ( tamaraw) in black and red brown lines. The tamaraw is standing sideways and looking at the camera with a soft black eye. White hairs cross over it.  The horns and ear are red brown while the nose and body are drawn in black lines

We love a break to do a simple line art drawing. This a tamaraw, a small buffalo and the only native bovid in the Philippines.

It's the end of G@za. In anytime you won't see us again 💔

Severe destruction hit the Aalma'madani Hospital in central Gaza after an Israeli airstrike, despite it being the only functioning hospital in the city with limited capacity.

A new Update 😭😔

8th of April // 621$out of 100k and none donate for 2 days 💔💔Time is running out please reblog this and like 🙏‼️

Dear my kind donors!

The crossings boarders are closed again these days and war return in Gaza.

Breaking News ‼️‼️

The crossing through which food enters has been closed for more than 30 days. We have nothing to eat, and even if we do, the prices are exorbitant. Some of the prices listed are:

1 kg of meat = $100

1 chicken = $70

1 kg of fish = $100

1 bag of flour = $200

1 kg of cooking gas = $150

1 kg of sugar = $15

1 kg of eggplant = $20

1 kg of tomatoes = $10

1 kg of onions = $25

Note to mention the other very expensive essential goods. I hope you will stand by me to get food.

Every donation from you saves us from hunger, no matter what your donation is. Don't be stingy with it.

We are currently facing an unimaginable and heartbreaking situation in Gaza. After receiving orders from the Israeli Forces to evacuate our area, we were forced to leave our tent, running for safety while bombs rained down around us. We fled with nothing, seeking refuge in another area that, unfortunately, is just as unsafe, leaving us exposed to constant danger.

Now, we are living in tent which needs new setting, enduring the cold, rain, and the constant fear of more attacks. The lack of basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical supplies is taking a heavy toll on us. Prices for essential goods have skyrocketed, and it’s becoming impossible to meet even the most basic needs for survival.

We are urgently asking for help. We need immediate support to provide food, shelter, medical aid, and funds to help us get through these difficult days. Without assistance, our survival is uncertain, and we are reaching out to anyone who can offer help in these desperate times.

If you are able to contribute, whether it’s through donations, sharing post, or offering any kind of support, it will make a life-saving difference. Your generosity can help us stay alive and find hope amidst this crisis.

Please, stand with us during this devastating time and help us survive the hardships we are facing. Every bit of support counts, and we are truly grateful for anything you can do.

Please 🙏🙏🥺

We Are Not Numbers
Areej Kassab is an English teacher who graduated from Al-Azhar University. She has many international certificates in teaching, such as PCEL

Also I am a mother of three children. We have lived through the war for a year and a half, and we have lost everything we own. My husband is a man who did not work. Before the war, I did not have a breadwinner or any source of income. During the war I didn't give up to teach so I volunteered and had good chance to help some students to get engaged again with English in a very creative way.

After our several evacuation from place to another.Now we don't have a house after it was destroyed by missiles. I now ask you to help me rebuild my house. And buy basics for the daily essentials for my children and I need money so that we can stand up again and start again.

This war wasn't easy at all it has taken many friends at work, students and some of my colleagues at the university. They are almost ten souls I won't never forget . Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of my students and my friends is really hurts.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line

Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

. $5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.

. Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

To help me and my family you can donate here or at least you can share this post to people who can support us in gaz
