“Duck Hunt” was — or is — a remarkably fun game. Oh, the memories! They seep through me like a wood varnish!
Speaking of video games, Lindsey is wearing Jill Valentine’s outfit from Resident Evil 3. Good times!

I was apprehensive, at first, about publishing this comic. I didn’t want to appear too insensitive or trivialize such a horrible tragedy. However, after watching the news — especially the angry remarks from the New Orleans mayor — and reading up on some stuff on the web, I felt compelled to criticize the government’s apparent apathetic reaction.I’m trying to see all of this on an objective level, despite my liberal point-of-views. Yes, this was a tremendous catastrophe that would have happened even if we were prepared and no, Bush had no way of stopping the hurricane; it’s fucking mother nature. Nevertheless, the government’s way of handling the aftermath of Katrina was incredibly idiotic and disgusting. I sympathize with the New Orlean residents’ anger, sadness, and resentment.
When your town is getting destroyed by a giant robot, what would you do? Go to Murphy Brown’s Pub, of course!
The second panel features characters from Daily Illini cartooists who once graced the paper: (from left) Joe Martin’s “Boy,” Jacob Angel and Oliver Chang’s “Best Friends Club,” Paige Dickinson’s “Playing with Plastic,” and Matt Vroom’s “I Hate Pam.”
Vroom was infamous for the “Jew Nose” comic that sparked a lot of controversy not only in Champaign-Urbana, but the nation as well.
Day of Silence advocates gay rights and tolerance, and it’s pretty self-explanatory. As the name implies, supporters refuse to speak in order to symbolize the silencing of LGBT students and their rights.
Around campus here, supporters set up a few stands on the Quad. As always there are the conservative, Christian Right who protest and harass the supporters. In this comic, I wanted to both support the homosexual lifestyle while poking fun at conservatives.
