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?
I suppose one of the worst things to get reincarnated as is a food product. You spoil pretty easily, but in retrospect, if you’re a fast food product, there’s enough artificial preservatives to keep you going for a long time.
I’m sorry, but everyone knows Kentucky Fried Chicken is delicious. And seriously, who doesn’t use the couch cushions as a makeshift napkin?
How many sci-fi movie references can I squish into a single strip?
Second question: does it seem that ZCC have OCD? Hey, that rhymes!
Who knew there’d be so many synonyms and aliases for The Grim Reaper?
Despite Death’s appearance here, I should note that he/she should not have a specific gender but merely exist as an androgynous entity. ZCC’s just, well, a pervert.
And the Amish are scary… Am I afraid to say that? No, BECAUSE THEY DON’T USE THE INTERNET! BWAHAHA!
There is nothing in Peoria, Illinois.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
