Inflict severe pain or death through art

You may know someone whom you strongly dislike. You may want to inflict extreme harm on that person or bring her to an excruciating end. Yet physically harming that person is only going to cause you a headache. You're probably going to have to deal with police, go to court, serve life in prison... you know story.

Since bludgeoning/kicking/stabbing/shooting someone isn't really feasible, why not think of elaborate ways of offing the person through art? That's what my 7-year-old students have done by drawing various stages of my pain and eventual death. Here are some drawings for your inspiration:

The book of death
This one is great because the teacher (me) is actually being crushed to death by a giant-size version of his own book. Oh, the irony of it.


 The shoe of death
Same concept, only this time the teacher is having the life squeezed out of him by a giant teacher's shoe.


The giant student -- bringer of pain
Here a colossal student is pounding the teacher into a mug with a table spoon, then drinking him for morning tea.


The intestinal escape fraught with peril
As if it ain't enough to plant the teacher into a lion's intestinal track. Now he's got to make a daring escape...good luck with that one.


The jetpack flight from hell
Give the teacher a jetpack and watch him fly into the sky. Then send a jumbo jet right into his path and watch the fun ensue.


The nightmare train ride
Kind of like a normal train ride, only instead of riding inside the train, the teacher is dragged underneath it.

  2. Personally, I like the one where I'm being violently mauled by a giant student's table spoon. But you're right: they're all quite lovely.
