Untitled university thingy

I drew a bunch of these cartoons at university, my aim being to submit them to Redbrick, the student newspaper. I did succeed in getting one published (at about the size of a postage stamp) but was mostly met with indolence and indifference. So, instead, here they are on my site. Hey, I figure it couldn't spoil anything anyway, as the two outlets have such different audiences. Redbrick has an audience which consists chiefly of students of a single University, whereas my site has an audience which consists chiefly of people who like to read Blue Jam transcripts and once clicked on the wrong link by mistake.

The cartoons feature two main characters, who, just to set the record straight, are not based on anyone at all in real life. Or are they? ..No. Or ARE they? No. OR ARE THEY? Look, just shut up, all right? Anyway, one of the characters is tall and does some funny stuff in a shirt. The other is less tall and plays the time-honoured rôle of the straight man. In a jumper. I don't think it could really be much clearer. Anyway, here's a selection.

A guy in halls made a similar boast, which began to seem sordid when he admitted that she probably had no idea anyone could see her. I once witnessed a raging argument, which is possibly even more entertaining.

Only I think this is funny.

Actually, these require less commentary than some of my other work. Does this make them better? Beats the hell out of me.

I can't take credit for this. Even if I could, I wouldn't.

Be thankful I scrapped the ending where he cooks and eats the cat.

Write what you know, they said. The consequence is cartoons that are unfunny and meaningless to 99.9 percent of the population.

I refer you to the comment on the previous strip.

This has nothing to do with studentville. I have my friend Steve to thank for this observation. Cars with police aware signs. Cars that are trashed. They are the same thing. It is a law of nature. But which occurs first? (And yes, god damn it. I'll get some plain paper tomorrow, okay? Stop hassling me about it.
