Let The Floggings Begin.

The beginning of another lengthy story arc that provides the exposition of several new but fundamental characters…

There’s always been an unspoken competition between U of I’s Engineering and Liberal Arts & Sciences schools. Each one thinks it’s better than the other: engineering students feel that LAS kids are lazy, drunk, and far too laid-back to handle engineering. On the other hand, LAS students think engineers are anti-social, pompous, working machines.

Sentiments like that prevent world peace and racial harmony… but, in retrospect, drawing this comic eggs everyone on.
