There's plenty of Japanese pop culture featured alongside the domestic subjects, including some surprises like Fruits Basket and Saint Seiya. Get ready for some highlights below.

There was at least one case where a teacher didn't approve of the art.

Impressive. I just hope it doesn't smudge the kid's hands or something. The last picture was funny.
Yeah the drawings really warmed me!!
That is a father who shows how much he really loves his kids.

His kids are constantly coming into school with awesome all over those bags. Every kid they know must want to see what's on those bags everyday.
Ok. There were very cool. And I lol when I read the teacher's comments...no sense of humor or style or evidently knowledge of pop culture...
Agree. 100% Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic for pre adolescent humor and wonder.
Wow these are amazing :l

LOL Seems like the teacher isn't amused. What a spoil sport.
This is actually pretty awesome

So cool! I wish my dad did that for me... But are these like used only once? If it is, it's such a waste! The drawing is so nice!
SICK. think i'll start taking lunches to school now! :p
My parents were too busy with work to do this. But one time mom dyed maccaroni green and cut the bottom of a hotdog and made it look like an octopus.
