New School Kids

New School Kids is a now-defunct webcomic about two elementary school friends and some of their classmates. Supposed to update Mondays and Fridays, but very frequently has Schedule Slip issues.

It stars two childhood friends, Frank and Trevor. Occasionally stars the Butt Monkey Lily, along with other children from the neighborhood.
