Looking back and laughing

Here are the first five strips of Loft Boys from when I brought the comic strip back to the Purdue Exponent during the second semester of my second senior year. The strip got very little recognition when it was previously in the paper my junior year (only one of those), and I think it was because it never grabbed anyone's attention. And why should it have? College students are far too busy with their regular lives to go out of their way to find some obscure comic strip in the student paper. So to get the attention that this strip deserves (and I obviously need), I brought it back with controversy, sex, and alcohol. In other words, I went after the Greek system. My comic strip become a moderate campus controversy, and in my mind, a huge success.

I know these are too small to read. I don't know how to fix that on Blogger. If anyone knows how, please inform me. Meanwhile, there's a link before each strip that will give you a much easier read.

I've been writing a few new ones. I've changed Jack's hair, since so many people think he's a girl. That's a little embarrassing considering his hair is modeled after my hairstyle from when I created him. Anyways, he's much cooler now. Just like me?

I think I like setting them in Los Angeles and in "The Industry". They've been out here for about 5 years, and they are not successful. Jack is an actor/musician, and Scott is a comedian/director/writer/producer. Smiley is currently not being included. I know. I'm sad, too.

I need a new title. Currently, I like Struggling. It looks funny, and it's funny to say.

Good advertisement lines:
Struggling is a laughing matter.
Have you had your does of Struggling today?
Who enjoys Struggling? Why everybody, of course!

I'll get some of the new ones up soon. I need to make final sketches, and I do hate finals.
