Hoodlum (short comic)

This is not an ordinary project. 
"Hoodlum" - short comic about my father's childhood in Soviet Russia. 
This project was a part of contest. Theme of the contest was "family archive". In our family major part of the stories belong to my father. He was a hoodlum in school, a hippie when he was a teen and even now he often behave like he in his 20's.
Even tho comic doesn't make it to the contest, (which makes me sad to the very core) 
I hope you find some time to read this three pages.
(English text on the bottom of every page)
Hope you enjoy!

As a teenager, my father was a total hoodlum.
Once, he...
smashed all the windows of his school with stones from his slingshot
scared a passer-by to death with a prop rifle
(LIE DOWN)
persuaded all of his classmates to skip a test

...only to attend the test together with his buddies
together with his friends they blew up a waste barrel filled with film
and even set fire to a paper waste shed
(as a punishment for that, he got expelled from pioneers)
although he really was a quiet kid
who read a lot and educated himself
my father remained a hoodlum to this day

...but an intellectual one
