Great Sex and Ham.


I started reading Dr. Seuss’s (that’s a lot of “S’s”) Green Eggs and Ham. I’m halfway done.

Studying for Finals.


Another colored comic! Seriously, though, students do almost anything not to study for finals.

They Buy Books for Mysterious Boxes.


The premiere of Random Chicken, the chicken who appears randomly for no reason whatsoever!The disembodied voice crying “The box! Go for the box!” is a reference to the great Weird Al Yankovic movie, UHF.

Truth Be Told.


Just experimenting with photoshop. It wasn’t easy to manipulate the Grainger statue that sits in front of the library.

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.

A Ghost Story: Part 1.


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?
