When I was about 13 we had to do an "investigative project" in RE.
This involved looking at the "historical evidence" of the resurrection of Christ (i.e the bible, apparently) and demonstrating that it really did happen.
I decided to write a mock Raymond Chandler style detective story called "The Case of the Missing Body". Most of the jokes were lifted wholesale from Oink comic.
When I handed it in the teacher tore it up in front of me and threw it in the bin.
That was pretty much it for me and religion.

Wahey!
I remember Oink - it used to get surreptitiously passed around between us 10-year-olds rather in the same manner that porn would get passed around in later years.


Ahhh... the '80s!

Sorry, that made me laugh till I cried. Class.

That's just asking for trouble, isn't it?
Re teachers do seem to be gluttons for punishment though - why else would you try and talk about Jesus to a load of teenagers...

I hope you made a copy of it or salvaged it from the bin. At first, it would have just been passed amongst your friends or looked at with nostalgia, but many years later, you could have posted it to b3ta.

And yes, I remember Oink too.
