St Trinian’s is a British gag cartoon comic strip series, created and drawn by Ronald Searle from 1946 until 1952. The cartoons all centre on a boarding school for girls, where the teachers are sadists and the girls are juvenile delinquents. This black comedy series was Searle’s most famous work and inspired a popular series of comedy films.
