Desert Island Teacher

Desert Island Teacher

Desert Island Teacher is an occasional Viz strip created and drawn by John Fardell.

The strip features a school teacher (Brian Chalkwright) stranded on a tiny rocky islet after a shipwreck. Stuck for anything else to do, he continues to teach with the assorted wildlife as his pupils. A major feature of the strip is that he never actually says anything of any academic value, but instead spends all his time saying things like 'Face the front' and 'I will not start until I have absolute quiet'.

His adventures have included rescuing a boy from another shipwreck, only to bore him so much that he left the islet in his safety ring. On another occasion, the teacher got himself in 'serious trouble' for abusing a crab (crushing it under his feet) but is exonerated by seagulls. In the same episode he has sexual relations with an underage starfish. He is rescued by a navy search and rescue team, only to admonish them as if a delinquent pupil, saying: "You think you're so clever, being able to fly a helicopter, but it's not going to help you in the real world." The rescue crew throw him off the helicopter for insulting them.
