Benson & Jenson By Dan Swenson (the full title) was published in the Marion High School Survey newspaper during my junior year, 1989-90.

Back To School This strip was my first published cartoon. It's purpose: To mock the attitude of many students that had hoped life would be easy with a new principal. We were indeed wrong. << CLICK IMAGE TO SEE CARTOON

No Pass, No Play Students were not allowed to play sports if they failed a class. This policy, fairly new at the time, created some drama.

Hanging Out What is there to do on a weekend night for a high school kid in a small Indiana city? Answer: Not much. Not much of any good either.

Smokin' In The Boys Room Two places in our high school were notorious for their smokers.

Hangin' Tough There were two phases many (but not all of course) girls went through back in my time. For middle school: Cabbage Patch Kids. For high school it was New Kids On The Block.

Nightmare On 26th Street Yet another example of the strict rules set for students under the new administration. With a little exaggeration of course.

Get A Room Do you remember that couple that always swapped spit in the hallway between classes? Were you one of those couples? Take a trip down memory lane with this retro (meaning not colorized or enhanced) Benson & Jenson by Dan Swenson cartoon.
