My pitch to American readers is that Mortadelo & Filemon is like raunchy Spy VS Spy with Tom & Jerry characteristics.
In fact, if you liked the old British TV sitcom Bottom, you'll likely enjoy M&F.
So... a few friends and I were discussing what would happen if we lit the gas tap in the science lab. We were 11-12 and I think I had just seen an episode of Bottom with a lit gas pipe. We were strangely unattended in a science lab that day.
I turned on the tap and a friend lit it. Queue a rather cool jet of flame in the middle of the room. Teacher I guess saw the glow coming from the room. Turned it off.
Received bollocking like none other and a 2 day suspension to underline the seriousness of this.
Notably we were not accused of either arson or trying to blow up the school. Youthful - unacceptable - misadventure.
As usual there aren't any facts on what this girl was doing. On the surface though it seems expulsion and criminal action is way over the top.
