The W.M.U Comics! Now with **Commentary!** Spring Semester 2004 |
| January 19- No school. No newspaper. |
| January 20- My Game Boy is so sweet. I wish the games weren't so damned expensive. |
|
January 21- This whole little mini-story arc about Hunter's favorite things was fairly ill-inspired. I mean, why would he like Fish more than Michelle? Even I can't explain it. |
| January 22- |
| January 23- I'm glad I waited to get the Game Boy Advance SP. |
| January 26- I just wanted to draw Gollum. |
| January 27- Here I started drawing Hunter's hair a little differently. Another instance with Fish and a weapon. |
| January 28- Everyone breath a sigh of relief: the cock jokes are officially over. May they rest in peace. |
| January 29- I had been meaning to do this one for months, but kept forgetting. |
| January 30- ...because Wal-Mart is evil. 'Nuff said. |
| February 2- Establishes what became a recurring theme this semester: Fish and octopi. |
| February 3- Think about it. |
| February 4- My girlfriend takes German. |
| February 5- Some random woman at my work told me that low-carb stuff gives you bad diarrhea. |
| February 6- Get enough of the Bus-Stop Guy while you can... his time on this earth is short. |
| February 9- I thought I was so clever for coming up with this. I was wrong. |
| February 10- The 3-D effect on Fish is one of my better art achievements this semester. |
| February 11- I am not promoting drug use. Interesting side note: Fish was originally going to be a mystical character who only Steve could see. And Steve would only be able to see him when he was high. |
| February 12- This one pays tribute to all those times when you just want to find like a screwdriver or something and it becomes some huge hassle. |
| February 13- Sean Connery works at Blockbuster in the WM-Universe. I'm not sure what message I was trying to get across here, other than "LXG is a bad movie." |
| February 16- Fish wants to have sex with the American pie. |
| February 17- Continuing the running gag of Hunter getting attacked by things. |
| February 18- That Fish loves his porn. |
| February 19- I'm going to start calling him "Mixmaster-Fish" more often. |
| February 20- Five weeks into the semester and I hadn't used Billie and Ross yet. I had to think quick. |
| February 23- Speaks for itself. |
| February 24- The Beatles class rules. And the Bus-Stop Guy is studying for Billy Squier class by stroking his rooster (because Squier sang that "Stroke Me" song). |
| February 25- Another one that kind of fell off the mark... far off the mark. |
| February 26- I can't explain what the hell I was thinking here. |
| February 27- A verbal gag gone awry. |
| March 1- "The Rock" is a vial of crack. |
| March 2- |
| March 3- Millie and Hoss will return. |
| March 4- |
| March 5- |
| March 8- I've been planning on doing a Ross for President story for at least a year. Maybe when the elections come around in the fall. |
| March 9- Looking back, I should have had Fish and Omarosa team up or something. |
| March 10- "Game Boy Enthusiast." |
| March 11- Ross sitting on the table. I should have had Trump commend Ross on his excellent business sense or something. |
| March 12- And I let my readers go to Spring Break on a cliff-hanger. Is Bus-Stop Guy really dead? Yes. Yes, he is. |
| ***SPRING BREAK*** |
| March 22- My economics teacher asked these one guys to stop passing out surveys in the class, and so the guys just hid from him. They were jackasses. |
| March 23- That dude is pretty sensitive. Some say I look like him, and some day I plan to use that to my advantage (can you say: "WMU: the album"?). When we saw him at Edgefest, he sang that Wheatus song "Teenage Dirtbag." It was very confusing. What the hell happened to Wheatus? |
| March 24- Speaks for itself. |
| March 25- Man, I gotta get off my ass and sell some of this shit I don't need. Anybody want a used Metroid: Zero Mission for Game Boy Advance? |
| March 26- |
| March 29- I did these Fish Origin strips so I could finally draw something else besides the top half of Hunter every day. It was a nice change of pace. |
| March 30- And this marks the first time I gave mouths to the octopi. I think it worked out for the best. |
| March 31- Notice how the octopus is like a sheriff or something. He has a badge. |
| April 1- On this day, the student cartoonists switched comics, and I drew Ship of Fools. Tony Carrillo drew my comic and he really had my number. |
| April 2- |
| April 5- Until my girlfriend read this one, I had it worded really weird, and the end result was that it sounded like Hunter touched Fish inappropriately. It was a good thing she read it. |
| April 6- "Ross rocks!" |
| April 7- This is a true story. |
| April 8- I'm going to do more with Fish as an artist. |
| April 9- KG was dying to see Ross in his robe in the comic strip, so I gave in. |
| April 12- Hall and freakin' Oates, bitch! |
| April 13- These comics write themselves sometimes, I tell ya'. |
| April 14- It needed to be said. |
| April 15- |
| April 16- Long story: I was originally going to have Hunter dig up the Bus-Stop Guy's corpse and carry him around like "Weekend at Bernies." And that was pretty gross, so it was going to turn out that Hunter was possessed by the BSG the whole time. I then thought better about it and scrapped the whole idea. |
| April 19- If you notice, in past comics, the characters always had their thumbs folded awkwardly across the palms. It was only brought up to me recently that that isn't a natural (nor comfortable) hand position for most people. So here is what happens when Hunter tries to break the habit. |
| April 20- On April 23, Fish actually goes to "Milton Starr's party" and I was eventually going to introduce Milton as some arrogant frat guy, but I didn't have time this semester. |
| April 21- The octopus motif comes back. For some reason it's easy to write octopus comics. |
| April 22- Yo, dude! Fish shirts are available! |
| April 23- Fish just cannot catch a break. |
| April 26- Someday I'll explain this in detail. For now, find the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episode where they watch "Timechasers." If anyone knows where I can get a Castleton t-shirt, I'm listening. |
| April 27- Easy, easy, easy gag. Though I did enjoy the Punisher movie. |
| April 28- If you read Entertainment Weekly, you are probably familiar with Gleiberman's nonsensical rants that the magazine shamelessly peddles as "reviews." |
| April 29- Finally! Fish has a chance at love! |
| April 30-...or does he? |
| May 3- Ok, I drew this up at 3am after having virtually no sleep for 2 straight nights. That's why Fish refers to a "treasurer" for no apparent reason. I actually partially drew 3 other ones, and they actually made less sense. It was a rough night for me. |
