On a less ridiculous but all too redundant note, why do college girls always dress up as a cat for Halloween? When I saw “The Office” Halloween episode in 2005, I couldn’t stop laughing when all the females came to work dressed up as cats.
It was a quick and trite storyline that I needed to wrap up before my special Halloween comic. Like most “Scooby Doo” episodes, there was always a hackneyed ending where the gang unmasked the fake monster. In this case, it was Matt Vroom of “I Hate Pam”. Of course, in this ending, Jill used Scooby as a bat (subsequently killing him).
Furthermore, The Ring (or was it The Ring 2?) was popular back then, and I wanted to include that, too. After all, girls with long bangs are pretty popular. They look like Cousin It.
First of a three-part Halloween storyline.
One of U of I’s local legends is that the English Building is haunted. Apparently, it used to be a girls’ dormitory and a female student either committed suicide or simply died on the upper level. Nowadays, the Teaching Assistant office is located there, and each TA has their own weird and creepy experience to tell.
I modelled the ghost here after Samara of The Ring fame. I should also note that I forgot to put the characteristic mole on Lizzy’s cheek. Laser surgery?
This is a continuation of yesterday’s comic. I drew this particular strip at the DI office, so I wasn’t able to touch up the word bubbles.
Yes, Aaron is a drug-user (as you can tell by the shroom on his shirt, although his “hobbies” are more apparent when I change it to a pot leaf), and no, Drunk Mom is not Aaron’s mother.
I have a friend whose parents would come down and visit him in college, and buy him and his friends cases of beer. Together, they’d get drunk… And so, Drunk Mom was born.
In regards to her design, I wanted Drunk Mom to have sagging boobs and a small potbelly. Also, I wanted her to look like she’s “trying too hard to remain young”, so I gave her a tank-top.
As many of you U of Iers know, there is a huge debate over the University of Illinois’ mascot, Chief Illiniwek. Many people — particularly alumni who hold onto old traditions — advocate the Chief. Others deem the mascot to be very discriminatory towards Native Americans. The campus is pretty much split. As for me, I’m just apathetic and am taking advantage over the whole situation.
Seliena the PC FAA Student is the perfect character to represent the Anti-Chief crowd, while the U of I Whore represents the latter. Of course, the football team has been sucking the past few years, so it doesn’t make sense to be very proud of the school.
I created the U of I Whore after noticing a lot of people, on a regular day, just wearing too much University of Illinois clothes — shirt, hat, even pants that say “Illinois” on the ass. I happen to find too much school spirit to be very disturbing.
More new characters! The O.A.R (Office of Admissions and Records) Ninja is the embodiment of the administration of the University of Illinois. I mean, seriously, there’s nothing more sneaky and brutal as the faculty here at Illinois!

This marks the debut of Zach XbleedmyheartdryX a.k.a. ZCC. Though Jeffro and him initially appear as rivals, they ultimately become friends and even roommates.
There’s an alternate, more sexual comic, but I have to find it first.
