So I was musing on the recurring theme of Doug-as-teacher, and got to thinking about the dark side: where to drop the poor guy such that said role would be... difficult.
Just for starters, what about The Drifting Classroom, in which a populous elementary school is mysteriously marooned in the devastated ruins of distant-future Earth with less than one day's supply of food?
Or on a lighter note, Cromartie High, most of the cast of which sees absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about the student body including a gorilla, a robot, and Freddie Mercury?
Finally... South Park Elementary.
I know this has been briefly discussed elsewhere, but lately I've been wondering how the Loon would react to one particular student... Eric Cartman.
Forget Professor Chaos. Cartman IS a supervillain, a ten-year-old monster, a strategic and tactical genius who will go to extreme and horrific lengths to achieve incredibly stupid or utterly inane goals. What does Doug do when he discovers that one of his students led a neo-Nazi march? That he came within inches of reversing the outcome of the Civil War to win a bet? That he had another boy's parents killed, cooked them into chili, and had their son EAT them?
What... do you... do?
