Cluckin’ Tattoo Regrets.

Go Go Power Rangers!All the roommates are featured in this comic — Aaron, Mike, Indie Rawk Jeffro, Kyle the Duck, ZCC, and Chris.

Erotic Kitchen Appliance Stories.

This marked the first appearance of ZCC as a toaster since he was initially killed and reincarnated. It was also the real ZCC’s birthday.

This Firehaus is Outta Control.

The Firehaus is a campus bar that has been under construction for about 4 or 5 years. Everytime students pass by the building, we wonder when the hell it would open. Coincidentally, the Firehaus officially opened (after much surprise) a few weeks later.I’d like to think this comic played a role in its opening.

The title also comes from a Franz Ferdinand song.

Textcrooks.

The chicken/bookstore stuff is a reference to this comic.

Incoming Freshmen.

This was published on the first Friday before the 2005 Fall Semester began, and I can assure you all the incoming students went out and partied that night.Oh freshmen…

Artistically speaking, I enjoyed drawing the leaves’ shadows on Nigel and Randy.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation.

So it begins again… The comic is pretty self-explanatory — and it’s all true!

Hollaback Girl.

Car beats squirrel.
Toilet beats toilet paper.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrom beats fetus.
Factory hot dog processing machine beats raccoon.
Rock beats scissors.
But nothing beats banana!

Any reincarnation of ZCC will have the trademark hair curl.

Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

Burger King’s Tendercrisp sandwiches are delicious and are great coping mechanisms when you’ve lost someone. When my grandfather passed, I could only find solace in the King’s breaded chicken.

It’s also true that Champaign is synonymous with a lot of crime, and the outer limits of the area really are full of drug dealers.

Blogs… what can’t they tell you?

Doom Doom Doom Doom.

The lyrics are from Alkaline Trio’s “Mercy Me.” At the time, the real ZCC was into that song.

In this comic, I wanted to include something with Optimus Prime, “Death Missiles of Annihilation,” and Anime Mecha-style missile attacks.

Murphy Brown’s.

When your town is getting destroyed by a giant robot, what would you do? Go to Murphy Brown’s Pub, of course!
