Folks, I'm sad to say that this is probably the last comic of the school year (unless my editors say otherwise). I hope you've enjoyed the first batch, and that you'll stay tuned. Thanks for the support, and feel free to let me know how my driving is, etc.

Hi, Dad. Here's some more Barry for you.

The categorical imperative was, in fact, to fuel my frustration with MR into a comic.

Clearly they would not show a picture of a speaker, but I can't, you know, draw.

Dolphin likes David Bowie. But I think you knew that by now.

"Luke, do you want to watch From the Earth to the Moon with us? Do you like space?"
-"Um, I invented space poetry."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that."

Colby is fond of this one.

I wish that I had a place to work this summer, which I don't. It would be nice to have coworkers to talk to.

One of my friends is probably going to be a writer for Slate this summer, so now I feel kind of bad.

This is the comic for tomorrow's Crimson, and the introduction of a new character.

Apologies for flooding your RSS (Shane) and friends pages (others who are not Shane). This and the previous entries should have you, the Internet public, caught up with all the excitement. Sorry about the delay; FDS has nausea problems that she may or may not be creating out of anxiety (for reals!)

Meta-hilarity!

"This is the first one that isn't funny. But maybe I think that because my grandma has Alzheimer's." -Abe Riesman

Probably my favorite so far. Check out the AD shoutout!

Pawned? Pwn3d? Prawned? You decide.

We do talk about the baby.

Also, my hope is that this will now be contemporaneous with the Crimson's publication of the actual comic.

An hour of Googling yielded nothing about the denotation in chess. For that reason: "Comics Based on Coursework", part three.

Basically an Achewood ripoff, though I didn't realize it at the time.

"Comics Based on Coursework", part two.

The rock is sad, but the whale is happy.

The rock gets happier because the whale notices him, but the whale has already gotten sad because he thinks the rock doesn't care about him.

Then they both get sad.

This is what being depressed is actually like.

"Will you please draw a strip about Adderall?" -Daniel

Done.

This begins the first in a series, "Comics Based on Coursework". Infotainment was kind of my thing for a period.

In which I deny the validity of my own dreams.

Panel #2 based on Greg Scruggs' driver's license photo.

Based on Ayten Tartici and Rivers Cuomo, roommates.

Drawing copiers is harder than one might think.

Oh God this is so corny.

Finally, a voice for those of us who wonder about sound and vision, like, all the time.

I am thinking of changing my name to "David Bowie" so that I can actually say things that matter.

I hate myself, and I'm not even a Jew!

Hulk Hogan was exceptional in Mr. Nanny.

Holden Caulfield would totally have had a LiveJournal.

What do you do with a drunken sailor? I know what to do with a drunken undergrad, but that's totally not the same thing.

I was working some rough chuckles that day.

Also based on a true story. Man, fuck you, William Hogan. I made your travel reservations for three months and you didn't even know I existed.

You think I'm kidding about the Russian farming practices, but the layout of that book is totally:

1. Romance (100 pages)
2. Russian farming practices (500 pages)
3. Romance (100 pages)

Wide Sargasso Sea! But more interesting.

My tutorial leader on this story: "In ze dead letter office, where ze letters are burned, it is the letter that never reaches ze master. This is why it is tragic."

Or, how I turned my upbringing into hi-larious comedy.

The ending of that book is such a cop-out.

Or, how I turned my disease into hi-larious comedy.

This one offended Colby's parents pretty thoroughly.

Based on a true story.
