Comic for Monday, January 15th, 2007

Posted: 8:43 am, Tuesday, January 16th

OK, so both times it was this strip's turn at bat, my computer's shat the bed. So maybe finally posting it will allow my computer to heal itself, or will break my work computer so I can get IT to get me an upgrade. It's amusing that this one's given me so many problems - I think it's God getting back at me for being too lazy to keep Pete's paper consistent from panel one to the rest of the comic. And also for using a lame sight gag as the punchline. But, trust me, I saw some dude on the subway in the shirt Pete's wearing, and it was crazy. The shoulder things blew me away. Anyway, the main point to Pete's shirt here is that I was trying to get the hang of making patterns in Illustrator. I've got a ways to go, still.

You may have noticed that I said this was the comic for Monday up top. That part wasn't laziness. Since I did not intend to take yesterday off, I will post today's strip over my lunchbreak. Where this will get interesting is re: tomorrow's strip. Hopefully I can either coax my laptop back to life or convince my old laptop that it would like to come out retirement for a week or so until I order and receive some new RAM. If neither of those things happen, you will be treated to some lovely pen and ink sketches again. Joy, I know.

Anyway, back at lunchtime.

I'm finding it hard to believe that Pete gives a good goddamn about post-consumer waste. I do believe my heart is warming to him!

Bullfrog,

Mr. Obama is officially in play.

2008 is going to be very interesting...

Got an email from the ND Mendoza School. http://www.nd.edu/~mba/application_results Its cheesy but I cant stop hitting refresh. Regardless, I thought you all would be amused.

Hey, congrats, Wood. Everybody! Wood's hosting the tailgater for the next few years!

I really hope they have a version of that they send to the non-admitted students. I'm envisioning Hungarian funeral dirges and pictures of the BC campus.

Being dense here...who's the girl in the Tuesday comic?

That's Cece, the girl from the comedy club that Pete started dating in early December.

They probably just send the non-admitted applicants a link to the Notre Dame MBA tailgating video.

Oi, *that* effin' thing.

excellent admissions notice

Hey, the 585 made the Times.

Thanks for the kind words. Now i just need to figure out how to get tickets to the football games.

Given the ice storm i imagine many bored people playing a lot of yuker in between snowmobile rides to wegman's. Which is the same thing as summer in rochester.
