Scrap day!

I am going to make a weekly post filled with scraps that didn't make it into the Daily Texan. Sometimes they will be Circumlocution related, but sometimes they won't. I am too lazy to put them on the facebook page but I would prefer to just post them once.


I was honestly hoping this club had something to do with Teddy Roosevelt. I am really unsure as to why.


This one will probably be revised and put in the Texan one of these days. As someone who is not from Houston, it is definately something I can relate to.

Why do I always draw blond guys with huge chins? Maybe he should be a recurring character, Big Huge Blond Chin Guy.


Study Breaks bothers me. It seems like the booze and babes magazine. It pretty much tells us "Hey, you're a college student. Drinking and getting laid is all you should care about. Oh, and football sometimes." My life is about totally different things, so it really doesn't jive with me.

Man, I hope Study Breaks doesn't have a mob that will beat me up.


These two are so awesome. I can't imagine them fighting anyone but if they did it would be some crazy shit. I can't even imagine it.

And that's all I have for now.

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.

Circumlocution

From dictionary.com:
cir·cum·lo·cu·tion /ˌsɜrkəmloʊˈkyuʃən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sur-kuhm-loh-kyoo-shuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun

1.	a roundabout or indirect way of speaking; the use of more words than necessary to express an idea.

2.	a roundabout expression.

I find this to be a word that explains me fairly well, although I am trying to work on that. You can't really use a lot of words to explain things when you're drawing (or rather you shouldn't).

I really want people to like my comic, so I'm working hard to promote it. The Texan comics page gets a lot of unfair flack for not being the most professional comic book page ever, but there are people that work really hard on it.

Man. My brain is moving at half the speed of ass right now so I'm going to stop trying to write a clever introduction and just upload a bunch of comics. Enjoy.
