The Grinch


This comic is so horrible, but I promised that I'd keep up with them on the blog so look at me, here I am, doing what I said I'd do.

That's really nice.

Here's the first Grinch comic, anyway. If I could hate it any more it would set fire immediately. I hate working from a script, and the art in this one is shit. Well, after my Italian oral exam I'll have time to plot out the last three of these before Thanksgiving break.

Ahhhh, Thanksgiving break. I am quite excited. Do any of you have exiting plans coming up?

Reunion in Aisle Four

I really hated how this comic got the shaft, as far as the Texan comics page goes. It was really massive and it took me a long time to photoshop though, so I'm glad that Devins put it in at all. At least now people can actually read it.

This has happened to me once, but I refuse to give any more info on it because it would be unprofessional and mean. I think that once you get into college you should drop those high school grudges but damn it is hard. Also the "totalllly hang ouuut" girl is not based on an exact person's appearance. It is just some random chick. Do not hate me.

I have a sketch about the more frequent things that happen to me relating to high school, but this one is more of a universal truth. Not everyone morphed from a loserly weeaboo to a slightly less loserly comic book fan.

Freshman Misconceptions

To be fair, I have met very few people like this, but whatever.

Also the guy in the bottom panel is modeled vaguely after someone I know. Let's see if he can spot himself!

Jester Poster Sale

You may notice that this one hasn't been colored in photoshop. Well, no offense to the Texan, but sometimes I am too busy to labor over a comic for two hours, especially for the amount I get paid for these. On one hand I am really glad to be getting paid to work on my life's passion, but on the other hand it takes away from studying, so it had better be worth it. And sometimes it isn't.

For this comic I wanted to find the date that the first Jester Poster Sale took place, but I couldn't. At least, a quick google didn't reveal anything to me.

Jobs for English Majors


I think this is arguably my best work. I'm fairly proud of it. It is a reality of like that I am sad to embrace. Every time I think of my major it leads me to thoughts like WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY LIIIIFE and I AM NEVER GOING TO HAVE A JOB.

The Real Reason Science Majors Can't Stress Themselves to Death


A lot of people don't get this one, and I can certainly see why. The joke is that science majors will just re-form after exploding, so they can never really die. Maybe they're like the Highlander. I don't know. There are too many of them for that.

There are far too many panels and the background is weak, but I did get to experiment with brushes in photoshop. The problem with the published version is that it was really, really small. I think that is a problem for a few of my comics.

Elevator Girl


This one was was really badly done. I didn't know it was going into the Texan; it was something I used to apply there. Whatever. The published version looks like shit and I tried to touch it up with MS Paint. That was a really bad idea.

Nobody Cares


We liberal arts people get picked on by everyone.
