There's a good story behind the last panel here. So, this happens fairly often in college. Dudes get drunk, pass out, and people draw on them. I had seen it happen to many people (but was never a victim myself, thankfully). So, one weekend I went to a party, saw guy number 466 get drawn on, and realized this would be a good thing to stick in a comic. Unfortunately, everyone who saw this comic in the Pipe Dream the next week thought I was making fun of that dude from that party. Now, I wasn't. I was just making fun of the situation in general. didn't even draw it to look like that guy. But people took it the wrong way, and I guess some of his friends started giving him shit over it and tried to get him all amped up to fight me. So he approached me one night at a crowded bar. Dude was a lot bigger than me, but then again, so was the average junior high school student. It was just me and him, face to face.

HIM: Hey Dustin. So you drew that comic about me.

ME: Well, it wasn't really about you. Maybe partially inspired by you.

HIM: Yeah. You know, a lot of people have been saying I should kick your ass.

(awkward silence and staring)

ME: Well, that wouldn't be a good idea.

(more awkward silence and staring)

HIM: Yeah. Well I thought it was funny anyway.

Long story short, situation taken care of, fisticuffs avoided. Man, the dangers of being a cartoonist.
