TITLE The Bastich By Hart
PANEL 1 (BASTICH flees as three sharp-toothed doglike creatures labeled "HOMEWORK," "FINALS," and "GRADUATION" chase him over a cliff. A helicopter drone hovers past the cliff's edge, holding an arrow-shaped sign pointing downward with the label "REAL WORLD".)
CREDITS Bastich (c) 1997 Joshua Adam Hart
Commentary
And yet another school year comes to an end. This one was more for the audience than myself because I had actually "graduated" with my BS in Computer Science the semester before. I was sticking around for the Masters program which would take another year to complete.
This strip was also a last-minute rush job, which means I probably couldn't come up with anything better. Maybe I was struggling with some deadlines or maybe I was lazy.
Either way, I never bothered to scan it for the web and completely forgot it existed until I started working on this Bastich archive restoration project. What you see here is how I (probably) would have posted it, artifacts and all, if I had done so contemporaneously.
