Cleaver of Meats (or How I Killed Matt Vroom).

A lot of Asians on campus (and, unbelievably, across the nation) were outraged by Matt Vroom’s comic from the Comic Wars. I personally didn’t have a problem with it (and neither did my Chinese editor), but I was asked to draw this comic to — from what I can surmise — trivialize how superfluous the situation was; it’ll show that Vroom and I are, in fact, friends.

It’s okay, though, I saved a lot of money by switching my insurance to Geico. I also had Subway for lunch.

All-Out Comic War.

Originally, the immediate day after the explosive deaths of all our characters, we were going to fill the comic page with “Felicity’s Way” comics. However, because of scheduling conflicts and a lot of controversy surrounding this comic, the finale (or rather final punchline) of the Comic Wars never came through.

It’s all gravy, however. The Comic Wars were funtastic.

The Other Cartoonists.

I asked the other cartoonists to draw their characters nude for me. They were more than willing to oblige. Low blow, low brow comic if you ask me, but the masses seemed to enjoy it.

Poor, Dirty Hippy-Skater.

I had to photoshop Matt Yurkanin’s characters. Also, the resulting leakage of Yurk’s clogged toilet continues onto the very controversial “I Hate Pam” comic. Why the Daily Illini still has this comic up demonstrates their idiocy. Ooh, did I say that?

And So Begins the Comic Wars…

Ah, the infamous comic wars that lauched the Daily Illini comics into — well — infamy. My comic buddies and I decided to have a little, week-long collaboration where we’d just poke fun at each other.

You can see Matt Vroom’s comic on the Daily Illini site.
