What is this all about?

The Best and the Brightest is set at St. Aquinas Conservatory, a Catholic college-prep high school located somewhere in the suburbs of Chicagoland. It follows a group of teachers and students over a time period of four years there. Within the comic, religion is more a setting than polemic or apologia.
The comic is not open-ended. Eventually, when the student cast graduates, the strip will end. Currently, the comic is in the Fall Semester of Freshman Year.
