It’s Like A Little Comic Reunion.


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.”

Vroom was infamous for the “Jew Nose” comic that sparked a lot of controversy not only in Champaign-Urbana, but the nation as well.

I Like the Word “Amok.”


All senior engineering students have to design and work on a final project. They often have a company sponsor their final projects.

Also, for your information, LAS stands for “Liberal Arts and Sciences,” and LAS majors remain rivals to engineering students.

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.

Pat Doran: My Love, My One and Only.


Pat Doran’s comic had been really lovesick lately.

And Dave Chen, my editor, really is a robot.

This Is Why They Can’t Get Along.


Being chased by engineers and killer robots is situation you never want to put yourself in.

Killbot.


A quickie comic. Anyway, ACES is a not-so-difficult major here at Illinois. EOH stands for the Engineering Open House, where engineering students showcase their work and invite prospective high school students to campus. Boneyard Creek is a small stream that runs through the campus, and apparently engineering students have to calculate the flow of its water.

Truth Be Told.


Just experimenting with photoshop. It wasn’t easy to manipulate the Grainger statue that sits in front of the library.
