The Boys Of Summer

To the thousands of Schoolies descending on the Gold Coast to 'party' over the next two weeks, Nick and Nora dedicate this comic book story to you.

Enjoy:
(Don't forget to click on the images they're bigger than a schoolie's hangover!)



But how could he - KISS AND TELL?!
Because he was rambling like an idiot to all of his mates after the booze he consumed. And between puking up a lung.



So sitting on the beach, risking skin cancer, our naive little beach bunny strikes up a conversation with a total stranger.

Ummm isn't he a little old looking to be a school leaver. Aren't you concerned that me might be a... Toolie?



Well, to be completely fair, our Romeo wasn't the only one tanked to the gills.

After a six pack of Vodka Cruisers our Schoolie girl would have been ready to snog anyone with lips.

Good job she's been able to snag the free condoms that they're handing out like Bindeez.



Doris and I didn't get to the beach until rather late the next morning and that's when it began...

Yep of all the things our girls packed, I bet Berocca and aspirin weren't in the kit.

Gosh! What makes you so popular all of a sudden?

Could it be her brains? Her straight As at school? Her rapier wit and insightful grasp of international politics?



Ricky told me all about you, honey -- said you could kiss like you were the one who invented kissing!

Hmmm, guess not.

Y-You - You went up and down the beach - bragging about kissing me last night - didn't you.

Like you were going to remember sister.

Besides what do you expect playing tonsil hockey with a guy you've known less than a day?



Try and date her! She's great!

Our poor heroine discovers that being an enthusiastic advocate of two wheeled public transport has taken the friendly out of environmentally friendly.

But who's now knocking at the door?



...But it wasn't they way you think! I wasn't bragging about last night, Rosemarie - !

Yeah. Right.

But all's well that ends well. Ricky's just declared his undying love after knowing Rosemary for exactly 48 hours.

What's the bet that undying love will last exactly the length of Schoolies 2008?

See kiddies, there's nothing is new under the sun.
