The English teacher in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCj39VOwiw/">The Jenkins</a> comics is sticking to the book with her teaching method. But to make the class organization more chaotic, leave two conchs behind and say, as one closes the door, that only one of the conchs is real.William Golding, who wrote about the collapse of civilization by young boys in The Lord of the Flies, was deeply cynical about human nature. So it’s worth nothing that, in 1965, when six Tongan boys from a boarding school were shipwrecked on a deserted Pacific island for 15 months, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months">they all survived and thrived cooperatively</a>. They even cared for one of their number who broke a leg so that it was completely mended by the time of their rescue by a passing ship.#LordoftheFlies #webcomics #TheJenkins
