This article features the comic Fessora!, drawn and written by Brazilian author Aline Lemos, published independently and through crowdfunding in 2021. The narrative focuses on the author's personal experience of teaching one semester of history in a public school. Aline presents a set of 15 stories that address their personal memories with co-workers, students, and parents. Six stories in comic format were selected in order to understand, based on the memories and fragments of life narrated, the tensions and confluences between the work experiences highlighted by the artist. They portray their personal experience as a teacher, the emergence of a collective that reveals to us the daily life of public-school teachers in Brazil. In our analysis, we used the perspective of the life narrative of the Argentine linguist Leonor Arfuch (2002/2003, 2013) on the relationship between contemporary life narratives and the biographical space, plus the notion of collective memory (Halbwachs, 1950/1999; Bosi, 2009) to understand the multiplicity of experiences arising from individual memory. The conclusion reached is that Aline Lemos’s work highlights the challenges of education on the valorization of the teacher and the social inequalities in the classroom.
