Oh, this is classic “engrish” type stuff right here.
From the webpage
The Japanese school system is a funny thing; exams happen three weeks before the term ends, meaning three weeks of students rather unwilling to learn anything new. That being so, I decided to corrupt my high schoolers in the most amusing, English-oriented manner possible. I made a short class on American comics with artwork and examples of popular comic books and comic strips. Then came the exciting part: making your own American-style comic!
The teacher took the comics, took out the text, and had the students put in their own words.

Guy: Please divorce me
Girl: Why?
Guy: …
Guy: I want to marry mom.
Girl: All right.
How cute! Sure had me smiling… and laughing.
Guy: Oh! you are a pen.
Jesus: That’s right.
Guy: What color are you.
Jesus: Rainbow!!!
Guy1: This month is January.
Guy2: ?
Guy1: Let’s go skiing.

Guy1 begins angrily chewing on calendar
Guy1: My country does not have mountains.
Guy2: Oh, no.
The two that really made me laugh:
Sarin-dipity (he really DOES look like Asahara. Hooray tasteless humor!)
Weather forecast How can this be!? (Damn you, Clerks Animated Series!)
I can’t get over how funny some of those are. I don’t remember my high school class being that funny.
Too bad the site’s rather flaky.
