Mar 04Rejected Sausage-Fest Characters.
Another interlude to the Rules of Attraction storyline. It is also the first appearance of John Wilkes Embryo, a very popular (albeit contraversial) character.
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?
The aftermath of the Delta Iota Kappa party… chockful with references to past jokes!
And don’t bother calling the number at the bottom… Bryan graduated.
It writes like a novel…
The introduction of Jen, Jill, and Lindsey!And indie boys are greasy and salty.
