fuck it. I'm going to Asia.

It's been far too long since I last wrote here. And believe me that I have been reminded of this fact several times by the one or two people that read this. But that's in the past and I'm bored, so here goes:

I've taken on the role of "cartoon guy" on Coe's campus, rushing in to fill the void left by my recently (and by that I mean several months ago) graduated friend. It's been my goal to get a cartoon published in every week of the paper, and so far it's been working out. When I first started, I had it in my head that I should avoid pissing anyone off (ie. Student Senate, Republicans, etc.). I thought that it would be better if I could provide laughs for everyone, not just people capable of coherent thought (hiyo!). But as time went on (I lasted all of a week), I found that I wanted more and more to strike a nerve. Thus, things like this came about:

For the Republicans
and taking a shot at Senate.

And while I haven't gotten the outrage that a certain other cartoonist felt last year, I like to tell myself that I've rocked my readers to the core. And as no one has given me too muck flak, the idea for my comic is to insinuate that members of the Third Reich (that is, Nazis) could acquire funds from Coe's Dean of Student Affairs. Needless to say, this isn't true and I'm excited to see what the response will be.

Oh, and in reference to the title: I'm probably going to Asia next semester. To study swordplay. Suck on that.
