« First ‹ Previous ∞ Random ∞ Next › Last » I’ve always meant to put this online, and now I finally will. The Absolute Sum of All Evil is a weekly comic I did for my college newspaper, the Rose Thorn. It features Cthulhu, the Lovecraftian elder god, and his escapades at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology as a Computer Science major. I’ll be publishing these weekly in the order they were originally drawn.
A warning here: there are a lot of Rose in-jokes in these comics. I’ll try and explain them as they come up, but I have no guarantees that these strips will be funny to a general audience.
- No laptops:
- There are cubbies outside the dining hall for stashing bags and such, since you couldn’t bring bags in (engineering students tend to hoarde food). These had signs on them telling you not to store bags with laptops in them, for fear of theft. Nobody paid attention to the signs, despite there being a few thefts from those cubbies every year.
- CSSE:
- Computer Science and Software Engineering, the department that contains my own major, Computer Science
- 1024 oz Mt. Dew from Bigfoot:
- At freshman orientation each year, the head of the IT department gives a lecture on proper care of the laptops all students are required to own. One of the old standby jokes he uses is a series of spilled drinks of increasing size: first 16 oz, then 32, then 64, and so on.
I am overcome by nostalgia.
You are a dork.
Reminds me of the old days, not with you though. Back when being a geek wasn’t cool.
I’m impressed that you kept those.
I get a kick out of seeing how people warp over time. Ahh, what Imani said.
Makes me nostalgic for those long Thursday nights…well maybe just the fun in the office.
