What does Note Passing mean?

Also called Quiz Kid · Kid Passing Note · Student Passing Paper

A student accepts a note and looks annoyed after reading it. Label the sender and recipient, then put the unhelpful answer on the paper to turn an expected favor into a small disappointment.

The first picture promises useful information. The second reveals a message that is vague, unwelcome, or simply not what the recipient wanted.

The recipient’s expression supplies the reaction, so the note can be very short. One disappointing word often works better than an explanation of the whole situation.

Origin

Two panels from Nicholas Gurewitch’s Quiz Kid.

The artwork comes from “Quiz Kid,” a Perry Bible Fellowship comic by Nicholas Gurewitch. The original follows a student seeking help during a quiz, receiving a drawing, and later seeing the quiz results. [1] [2]

This blank version keeps the note being passed and the recipient examining it. Removing the original message makes the paper a place for a new answer, while the annoyed face preserves the comic’s disappointed reaction. [1] [2]

Caption guide

Let the note deliver the unwelcome answer.

Label the pink-shirted sender and green-shirted recipient in the upper picture. Put a short reply on the blank paper in the lower picture.

Choose roles that make the request easy to infer: a developer waiting for details, a guest asking about facilities, or a friend hoping for an easy workout. Leave the recipient’s expression clear.

Who sends the note
On the pink shirt in the upper picture.
Who receives it
On the green shirt in the upper picture.
The disappointing answer
Inside the white paper in the lower picture.
  • The sender is on the left in the upper picture.
  • Use short role labels on the shirts.
  • Keep the reply inside the white paper.
  • Do not describe the reaction again; the face does that.
