COMICS

BY JOHN KONRAD @vomit_party

I remember the day I first pitched a comic to the Daily Wildcat . I walked into the newsroom and spoke for an hour about my grand vision: a weekly newspaper strip about a lazy orange cat who ate pasta and hated specific weekdays.

“That’s ‘Garfield,’” they said. “That already exists.”

I tried to explain that my cat was different because he had a problem with Tuesdays, but the editors wouldn’t budge. So, I created “Birdseed” instead.

Since then, “Birdseed” has been joined by a host of other comics by talented student cartoonists, which I present to you here in the Wildcat Comics Corner.
