New Comic: Thirteen
🕑 Added 2024-11-13 02:44:24 +0000 UTCI don't know how I would describe myself as an early teen but 'cool' would definitely not be it. My daughter seems to be way more stylish and chill than I ever was lol
Also, was I the only one who had rainbow toe socks?? I feel like nobody else wants to admit it..

That’s right!!! Pogs :)

They were banned at my school after some crybaby lost their favorite one and their parents bitched super hard about it. Needless to say, that kid was not exactly popular. Why not just leave your favorite one at home? There was nothing special about it, we all just assumed he was a massive sore loser and couldn't handle losing a match
Kurdt
Me either. I would feel like it was happy and doing well and then all of a sudden it would die! Way to make twelve year old me feel like a bad parent lol
John Blackmoore
My kid made me take hers to work and keep it alive for her.

Teenage Ellen is so adorable! I love the little touches you put to the character, the tiny backpack and the socks. 😁 I... I don't want to think that my niece is now twice as old as Teenage Ellen; that hurts 😳
Pizzacake Comics
Yup that was pretty much it lol
CanDude
Magic: The Gathering for me 😂

Pogs were so wild, never really understood the game beyond slamming the slammer piece and making the tower fall
Pizzacake Comics
Ugh same, I feel like they were rigged lol
Pizzacake Comics
I wish! Maybe I can order some...
Pizzacake Comics
It started many of us down a dark path 😂
Bushmeat
I was never able to keep my tamagotchi alive. :(

13 was sooooo long ago, definitely wasn't cool then but now...nope still nope.

It was at 13 I discovered black was the greatest color man ever discovered how to dye into fabric… and I never looked back

I was still playing hockey at 13 and training on the side because I thought that being a Ninja was a possible career path. I had a crush on a girl in 7th grade but I was too shy to tell her.

Do you..still have rainbow toe socks..?

Pogs being "gambling, but for kids" is quite accurate, now that I think about it.
Pizzacake Comics
Pogs 100% started my gambling addiction lol
Stefan
Pogs were a weird thing in retrospect though. I'd say you were dorkier than your daughter is too 😇
Mark Edwards
New generation, new perspective! Great art as usual (:
Jeff Buckner
My kids found my pogs and I taught them to play. They very quickly reinvented gambling with them.
Jeremy Sherr
You had Alf pogs?! Legit!
Aaron Pearson
Oh man... An intense round of pogs takes me back. I remember having the whole set of the Batman Forever glow in the dark pogs. My Lexington gargoyles slammer was My cherished slammer
SynysterCola
Ahhhh brings back memories. I was the oldest in the family and I was def not cool. But my younger siblings? Some of the coolest kids in school. No idea how they did it lmao.
Sean Kozma
This comic makes me so happy!
Kurdt
I had a lot of pogs (Including a little thing that let you make your own!) but I think I only actually played like once or twice. Personally, I found them more fun to collect than play. Eventually they just kind of sat in my closet and collected dust. Wish I had kept my Simpsons pogs though, those were pretty sweet (although I don't think they ever did an actual ALF pog which would have been the best thing ever).
Ted
The Tamagotchi necklace lol... Ah to be a millennial in the late 90s
Darren Moffatt
Just got a fresh box of Pogs the other day!
Pizzacake Comics
Lol I know I was thinking they came back and was ready to break out my old collection!
Ken B.
Now she understands why so many of us olds were really confused when "pog" reentered the vernacular of the youths.
William Harris
I have no idea why, but I always assumed you were secretly a goth/emo kid, lol.
Pizzacake Comics
Thank you!! This one really brought me back hahah
Michael Cattle
My 13-year-old just got a haircut like that today! I showed her the comic, and when she saw the bonus panel, she said, "Oh, just like Genshin Impact."
Rhonda
Aww, I love your outfit and all the y2k accessories! I can tell you had fun drawing it 💚 (loving the beanie baby backpack, that’s a nice touch!👍)
Patrick Schulze
Well, you showed 13 year old you what's what.
Pizzacake Comics
Your school was way cooler than mine...
Pizzacake Comics
Pogs caused so many fights, it was like the wild west ahahaha
Pizzacake Comics
Ooooooh yeah I totally was (I wasn't)
Pizzacake Comics
I had so many cool pogs...animaniacs, lion king, the Florida panthers, all those weird monster ones, even Alf!
Lucas T
Pogs weren't how we gambled, we played Texas hold'em for snacks. Teachers had mixed reactions to that.
Neish86
Once Pogs were banned from school the trend died out pretty fast. It was fun while it lasted though.
Samuel Carrizales
Pog is still around. It just means something different these days
Anthony
I loved pogs. I still have 1.
John McCormick
Well you out grew the pogs pretty successfully.
Patrick Schulze
Rainbow toe socks! 13 year old me would have thought you were the coolest girl in school.
