Superheroes.


By the time this comic was published, the campus bar Firehaus wasn’t even completed. Also, during this time, I was able to publish 2 comics a day (hence two comics under the same date).

The Band-Aid joke refers to a recent, local story where a student found a used Band-Aid in her fries.

It’s Like A Little Comic Reunion.


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.

I Like the Word “Amok.”


All senior engineering students have to design and work on a final project. They often have a company sponsor their final projects.

Also, for your information, LAS stands for “Liberal Arts and Sciences,” and LAS majors remain rivals to engineering students.

I also must reiterate that I like the word “amok.”

Smashtastic Destructo-Bot.


Smashtastic Destructo-Bot was first introduced (or constructed) here, during the “Rules of Attraction” storyline.

Oh, and it wasn’t the final storyline; just the last one of the school year.

Cluck.

“Ninja Please” was a comic in the Daily Illini by my friends Jake Angel and Oliver Chang (collectively known, by me at least, Jaliver Changel). Their comic always had some Kung Fu Chinese stereotype that always said “NINJA PLEASE!” in the most unusual and non-sequitur situations.

How Bush’s Re-Election Impacted The IM Community.


After the election, I was not at all surprised that a lot of people on my buddy list posted their reactions on their away messages. My friend Nicole (who plays Death) had on her away message: “everybody just cool out. i’m sure bush is really upset you’re being mean to him in your AWAY MESSAGE.”
