Best Way to End a Storyline? Get Eaten by a Whale.


Getting eaten by a white whale: a total cop-out ending, but hey, whatever. At least Dusty is spared.

Halloween Tips.


It’s a proven fact that a lot of college students dress up in ridiculous costumes and go out to Halloween parties.

On a less ridiculous but all too redundant note, why do college girls always dress up as a cat for Halloween? When I saw “The Office” Halloween episode in 2005, I couldn’t stop laughing when all the females came to work dressed up as cats.

A Ghost Story: Part 3.


Rut the ruck?

It was a quick and trite storyline that I needed to wrap up before my special Halloween comic. Like most “Scooby Doo” episodes, there was always a hackneyed ending where the gang unmasked the fake monster. In this case, it was Matt Vroom of “I Hate Pam”. Of course, in this ending, Jill used Scooby as a bat (subsequently killing him).

A Ghost Story: Part 2.


Ah, Halloween! I tried to stick several pop culture references in this comic, from Scooby Doo and Friday the 13th.

Furthermore, The Ring (or was it The Ring 2?) was popular back then, and I wanted to include that, too. After all, girls with long bangs are pretty popular. They look like Cousin It.

Sagging in Places I Prefer Shouldn’t Be Sagging.


This is a continuation of yesterday’s comic. I drew this particular strip at the DI office, so I wasn’t able to touch up the word bubbles.

Yes, Aaron is a drug-user (as you can tell by the shroom on his shirt, although his “hobbies” are more apparent when I change it to a pot leaf), and no, Drunk Mom is not Aaron’s mother.

Introducing Drunk Mom.


I have a friend whose parents would come down and visit him in college, and buy him and his friends cases of beer. Together, they’d get drunk… And so, Drunk Mom was born.

In regards to her design, I wanted Drunk Mom to have sagging boobs and a small potbelly. Also, I wanted her to look like she’s “trying too hard to remain young”, so I gave her a tank-top.

Enter the Administration Ninja.


More new characters! The O.A.R (Office of Admissions and Records) Ninja is the embodiment of the administration of the University of Illinois. I mean, seriously, there’s nothing more sneaky and brutal as the faculty here at Illinois!

Dude, I’m on Fire.


One of my favorite comics, just because it’s so random. I also like writing drunk talk.

As for the huge “FUCK,” guess how badly the people at the DI had to censor that.

The Unattainable British Love Interest.


I liked how I drew Lizzy in this one, although she does look a little bit different in later strips. I had to consult a British slang dictionary for her dialogue.

The band of Jeff’s shirt, the Wenkas, is a now defunct band of my friend, ZCC.
