The Afterlife.

There is nothing in Peoria, Illinois.

Doom Doom Doom Doom.

The lyrics are from Alkaline Trio’s “Mercy Me.” At the time, the real ZCC was into that song.

In this comic, I wanted to include something with Optimus Prime, “Death Missiles of Annihilation,” and Anime Mecha-style missile attacks.

Murphy Brown’s.

When your town is getting destroyed by a giant robot, what would you do? Go to Murphy Brown’s Pub, of course!

Superheroes.

By the time this comic was published, the campus bar Firehaus wasn’t even completed. Also, during this time, I was able to publish 2 comics a day (hence two comics under the same date).

The second panel features characters from Daily Illini cartooists who once graced the paper: (from left) Joe Martin’s “Boy,” Jacob Angel and Oliver Chang’s “Best Friends Club,” Paige Dickinson’s “Playing with Plastic,” and Matt Vroom’s “I Hate Pam.”

I also must reiterate that I like the word “amok.”

Smashtastic Destructo-Bot.

Smashtastic Destructo-Bot was first introduced (or constructed) here, during the “Rules of Attraction” storyline.

Oh, and it wasn’t the final storyline; just the last one of the school year.

Pogs & Poker: Boys Love Their Little Addicting Games.

Hash Wednesday.

I once had a roommate who smoked weed almost everyday, and I could tell he was lighting up from the smell emanating from his bedroom. He is perhaps one of the most sensible and responsible people I have ever met.

On the day of April 20th, a lot of people’s away messages advocated the ganja. Dang hippies, then again it’s college…

A Pope Comic.

I wonder if there really was a line to heaven, would certain people get precedence?

To you, JP2…
