I’m sure most of us have had the experience of doodling in our textbooks while the teachers droned on about all the math that we realized later in life we would never use. In fact, my personal specialty was decorating large chunks of text with elaborate frames of vines and flowers. Sometimes I even added fruits.

But some creative students in Korea took their doodling to a whole new level by giving the textbook figures clad in outdated fashion complete makeovers. Some of these doodlers were so talents the final result even looks like manga or manhwa!

In middle or high school, the content in textbooks rarely strays from the standard themes, and material often focuses on things like historical figures and places, so textbook illustrations tend to look extremely old-fashioned and decidedly uncool.

Some trendy students in Korea were having none of that, though, so they took it into their own hands to update their textbook illustrations in line with modern aesthetics. The results are hilarious – and kind of impressive!
