It’s Nonsensical!It’s nonsensical. It’s true. The students don’t usually understand all the references and humor in their Kranky Kids® projects. Most of the references are based on fact and the humor is cultural. What makes it nonsensical is how we mix the two. For example, in Caterpillar Cop™ certain insects are getting arrested and having trials for reasons that are purely insect oriented with a human twist. It’s nonsensical and funny. (We talk about The Pretty Pretty Princess and how they mostly didn't understand any of their lines in that production.) 6.
