Wait, what did I write, oh, sorry, I forgot, must be my teenage alzheimers... haha, I just saw ya geezers together and you're the both who could tell me about school in the 50s, as the infant Penguin didn't set foot into an American high school before the late 80s.
As a
Donaldist it is part of my longing for wisdom to find out if the comics are a snapshot of the time they were created. So while the artists used the contemporary technology in Duckburg,it seems they used they childhood memories regarding school: Al Taliaferro, who drew the earlier Donald strips was born in 1905, Disney was born in 1901, so was Carl Barks, the godfather of the Ducks.
A very interestibng portrait of your school, vienna. Did you have a religion class in "regular" school, or was this part of (involuntary) extracurricular activities and took place in the mess? In Germany we have religion classes in regular (state) schools btw.

Oh, I didn't know that. Maybe he was a landscape painter and hobby strategist before he went to SS (the acronym for Sesame Street, another proof that this is a Nazi show
)
