Also, cows.

Samantha was cool enough to provide pictures of those longhorns. The one in the first pic is Mr. Expensive Longhorn from the comic. Told you he was huge.

Like never before.

You know, the comic pretty much says it all.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

The Apartment

This one is extremely rushed, but I didn't want to let you all down. This one aims less at the comedy side and more at a sense of pride we take when we realize that something has become ours. In this case, the ownership of our first apartment. I'm sure some of you out there who live on your own can relate.

You might notice that Emery is not in this one. (gasp!) That's because Solomon and Jonathan were actually the first ones to arrive at the apartment. They got here with nothing more than their mattresses and a few supplies. By the time I got here the apartment was mostly furnished, but here you can see them making the most of it by using a mattress as a make-shift couch and playing old emulators on a laptop.

Happy Wednesday, folks.

These Are my roommates.

AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.

The stage is set, dear Internet, and these are our players.

What will become of them?

Giga Beef

First update in a while. Fear not though, dear Internet! I haven't forgotten you. I've just been moving in to my new (first!) apartment. It's been a tedious process and we don't have our interwebs set up. Before I moved in though, I went to visit Samantha and her family. This is a chronicling of one of the adventures we had.

It turns out Samantha's dad went to high school with the man who owns the most expensive longhorns in the U.S. And yes, he really was that shirtless and hairy when we met him. The longhorns are actually very impressive looking and not at all how I drew this one. I didn't know that they really are burnt orange and white. I now understand the logic behind my school's colors. The only thing that was kind of unappealing about these huge cows was the fact that they drool. A lot. And their drool kept managing to find Samantha's mom no matter where she moved.

Anyhow, this comic doesn't focus on the cows themselves. Instead, I chose to tell you about a rather awkward moment that happened right in the middle of conversation. The longhorn owner was telling me about his own time at UT and how he was forced to drop out. He said this in a very upbeat kind of way and I took it to mean that his grades must have sucked. I thought we were joking about it, so I laughed. Then in a sudden and very grave tone he informed me that it was because his dad died.

Needless to say, it was awkward.

Bear with me here, folks.

I know some of you are wondering what happened to me between the last update and now, and have been asking questions like "What happened to updating MWF?"

The answer is: Nothing happened to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. Things will continue as planned, but we don't have internet in the new apartment (yet). So I have to do my blog posts using the free WiFi on campus for now. That's why it has been over a week since the last update. I was just moving in. Rest assured, there will be a the Wierdest City update for this Friday (Aug 28).

In the meantime, enjoy this Hi-Res reposting of The Bound pages 1-7.

Sorry about the wait!
