Childhood! Wasn’t it the best part of our lives? So much so that we constantly wish we could get back to being children again! Get back to being our little naughty selves, make merry, and of course, go to school again! And yes, we’re sure, we all had a favorite teacher too. However, have we ever wondered what it was like for our teachers? It sure wouldn’t have been easy handling a bunch of kids who drove them over the edge, right? Colm Cuffe, an elementary school teacher from Galway, Ireland, is one such adorable teacher. While he loves his job, and the children, there’s no denying the fact that it stresses him out too. So, he found a unique to beat that stress – by drawing comics.
Aptly titled “When’s It Hometime”, he posts his comics, which are not only hilarious but also completely relatable, on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as well. And his thousands of followers are loving each of them. We’re sure that they’ll leave you in splits too. So, here are few of Colm’s comics:

Yes, teachers too have their own set of fears. They too are scared which form the ‘monster’ will take every year to scare the hell out of them!
Once A Teacher, Always A Teacher!
You can stop going to school, but the school never stops following the teacher in you, does it?
You Can Run, You Can Hide, But You Can’t Escape…
And just when you thought you’ve come far enough where no one will find you – bingo! What you’ve been running from will be right beside you!!
When Work Doesn’t Seem Like Work
But then, who can blame the innocent little pupils for whom ‘homework’ is the only work!
Like Student, Like Teacher
Whoever said that the child in us never dies, probably saw a bunch of ‘sporting’ teachers arguing over a penalty!
Definition Of A Holiday – For A Teacher
Just like nightmares, teachers too have certain holiday fantasies that bring extreme happiness to them. And, walking past those closed school gates is definitely one of them!
School Re-Opening Blues, Anyone?
And you thought only students hate it when their summer vacations come to an end? On the contrary, teachers too can go to great lengths to hold on to whatever is left of their summer vacations.
