The “Six Pack” is the name of 6 dorms here in Illinois. To be honest, most of the kids who live there tend to be the rowdiest bunch of partiers on campus — namely because they are the closest to both the campus bars and a primarily Greek neighborhood.
In other news, I’ve finished some artwork of Lizzy and Caitlin. Check it out. I’ve also drawn up some 1″ buttons of Nigel and Randy, and they should be out on sale within the next few weeks.
I really want to take a trip to Britain and see if the customs I’ve listed here really are true. For instance, I want to know — and this is an open question to anyone from across the Atlantic or just knows their stuff on British culture — if they celebrate their 18th birthdays like Americans celebrate their 21st birthdays.
Of course, we all know that Brit Pop Rock is grossly overrated. Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to finish listening to my Tom Vek and Bloc Party CDs…
Chris’ character, since the beginning, has been pretty naive, passive, and spineless. In this comic, I wanted to give him a backbone, which proves that he has grown as a character.
Lizzy’s dance movements was challenging to draw, so I modelled her body structure after a few photographs of people dancing. How I love Flickr.
Drawing Lizzy dancing and Cailtin tackling Jeffro was a task, but I think the comic turned out pretty well.
Of course, drawing Jeffro getting beaten up and Lizzy in any situation is always fun.
Given the situation, I find it odd that the bar will allow a fight to occur and a girl to dance on top of their tables… but, then again, it is a campus bar…
Finally! The formal introduction of Caitlin the Psycho-Bitch Ex-Girlfriend! She’s one of my favorite characters — so evil and so dark. Plus, drawing the broken heart symbol and her long bangs is utter art joy.
This comic marks the debut of the popular Kelly the Nympho. Apparently, all the female fans love her. Kelly, like most of the characters, are based off real people. The real Kelly is a sweet and wholesome gal, yet was supposedly really kinky with her old boyfriend.
This comic marks the debut of Szyxgla, the East-European alternative to Lizzy the Unattainable British Love Interest. I wanted her name to be confusing and unpronouncible, but if you really want to know how to say it, it’s “SI-ZIX-GLA.”
I always say you can’t have a proper storyline without Duder the Stereotypical Frat Boy. The mention of VD Chalmers is a spoof of CO Daniels (my ex-employers at the DI prohibited me from using the official names of real bars), a local Champaign-Urbana bar that caters to idiot freshmen and skanky Greeks.
Oh, and keep watch for site changes; I’m adding a few spiffy graphics to the pages.
