Recess - Dr. Slicer by dlee1293847 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Dr. Slicer is a rather strict and militant teacher. He only appears in the episode "Prickly is Leaving". However, in his one appearance, he has gained a reputation for being rather disproportionately ruthless and cruel. He is addressed as a doctor. He is a minor antagonist of the episode.

When Prickly announced he was to leave to be the principal of a middle school, everyone rejoices, but then, Menlo gets a fax foretelling Slicer's arrival, and he informs The Recess Gang about him, thereafter.

Dr. Slicer arrives, and he immediately makes life miserable for the kids and staff for the brief time he's there. He makes T.J. wear paper hats that say Funny Boy and Captain Sappy, hands Finster's job to his assistant and works to practically convert the school into a military base.

He had plans to tear down the jungle gym and put in a guard tower, clean the cannon kept in front of Third Street's gate to make it operational, and to make students wear uniforms and regulation haircuts. Expectantly, the gang makes various plans on different ways to stop Prickly from leaving. While they were unsuccessful at first, Prickly eventually decides to stay. The last we heard of Slicer is when he yelled Prickly was making a big mistake. It is unknown what happens to Slicer after this, but it is possible that he became principal of the middle school or was fired by the district for his actions.
