The Blade is a 1984 yearbook from the fictional Shellville High School. The restraint of the yearbook format is strictly kept-school chants, head shots of faculty and students, senior quotes, class superlatives, student council, photographs from field trips and prom, clubs, drama, sports, local ads in the back – with one exception: all of the characters are sheep. The humor comes out through deadpan captions and the animals’ natural poker faces.
