We've been making these for over a year now. Here are some highlights (most of which will require an explanation...which will kill the humour by the time we've explained it. Inside jokes suck like that.). Keep in mind that we made these comics a year ago and some of the characters have changed. For example, the image used for the undergraduate student will now forever be known as Jessica's sister and so on.

The primary deity as a monkey? This is what inspired it. The comic itself was originally inspired by a South Park episode. Don't ask us which one. The punchline? Well, as it said in our interests, Serena likes coffee.

The following comics feature something that we like to call "The Rage Motif". Last year we were first year M.A. students so we had a lot of rage. We can't claim credit for the 'second hand' joke. It's something we've heard Matthew use and it's based on a poor translation in an Asian video game. Our favourite response to 'now who's second hand?' has always been 'your mom'.

Really, does this require an explanation? She's moved away to Texas so there is no need for these comics anymore.

First dates can be horrific especially with this guy. Inspired by hearing the rendition of this actual 3 hour date from Serena and then Jessica sitting down with the guy herself and realizing that everything Serena said was true.

#5)


First year essays can be horrific especially the excuses that the students invent on why they didn't finish the essay.

Matthew's favourite activity (telling us to put sugar packets down our shirts).

SJ and I were riding the bus to school one morning, and there was some cheese sitting on the hump near the front of the bus. I was like, "Dude, weird, cheese" and some nerdy kid a few seats back freaked out on me saying, "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH CHEESE! It has calcium and it's delicious! It's my cheese!" Right, like I'm going to argue with a socially retarded nutter on the HSR. Sure dude, you keep your cheese.

Seriously, they do this. Every day.

You know who you are and what this was about :)

Jessica managed to make it through nearly 5 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer several years AFTER it aired without any plot spoilers by any of her friends, all of whom had seen it. Until one fateful night, when SJ's brother's slightly dim gf ruined it all.

I'm a union rep for our department. It was not until the first meeting that I fully realized what that would entail. Many, many hippie-filled hours of communist bullshit, that's what! He needs a chain of daisies, really.
