Description An Editorial cartoon for the Collegian.

This strip was written by my Editor, Mathew Gomes. Slightly lower production then my regular strips, since I was told to lay off the "details" by the staff lol.

I originally wanted her in different clothes to just reflect on the time changes, but "meh" sorta just slapped me when I remembered this was going to be printed in B/W anyway lol. So the continuity thing was juggling around my head, and out the window a few times.

The idea of the Captain Crunch eyebrow dawned on me 2nd panel. Should I keep it, or just leave it there since it reads better... haha.

EDIT: My friend slapped me when I showed her the strip. She said I should have gone back and recolor the shirts instead of the "meh" attitude lol. SOooo... here you go Rachael.

Yeah, I know that feeling. The gas companies could bump the price to $10 for three months and bring it down to $5 and everyone will stop complaining.

I still miss the days when it was only $1.14 during high school.

God, I remember the days when I thought I'd ride my bike everywhere. I wish I could actually do that now.

It's like a swift kick to the balls when we celebrate something like that. =/

HOLY CRAP FAVE! This is what I've been saying all along! They screw you with high prices over and over again so that when they BARELY drop the price, people feel grateful? SCREW THAT! I'm not going to stop complaining until prices hit $1.25 like they were in highschool.

You know, this is so true. Everyone complained when petrol was over $2. Now its under $2 again and now society is counting their praises. To be honest, I liked there not being any traffic on the motorway at rush hour >.> I got to work really quick... it was nice T.T
