Concept
Concept
The comic strip centers around an uncool young teacher who tries to be accepted by his pupils, but always fails. Meecher's catchphrase is 'You can call me Trevor', but one of the running jokes is no-one ever does. He's always referred to as 'Sir' or 'Meech' by his class "mates", and 'Trevelyan' by his mother. The strip ended its first series in Issue 3525 when Meecher was abducted by aliens.
