Let it be known that both of us are Christians. However, having been in college for a tad under a decade now, we have come to despise at times the over zealous religious nuts who barrage anyone and everyone. Jabez is representative of this scary campus group.
Named by his parents for the religious figure, Jabez is involved with the Jolly 4 Jesus (not affiliated with Jolly 4 Vishnu) campus ministry group on campus. His intentions are truly good, but unfortunately he makes even the most religious person cringe at sight.

Cartoon Appearances
After the previous strip, we were happy to get no complaints over this strip. We received many positive comments after its printing and happened to be the one we spent the most time revising. We knew we had a difficult task about how to do a comic that was both respectful, but made a point. We probably did a good ten revisions before we settled with this version.
Not sure how often it is missed, but the dorm buildings cast shadows of the World Trade Center buildings. We worried that would not be obvious enough.
If there was ever a turning point in the strip’s history, then it was this week. We introduced Mr. Mittens for the first time, and all Hell broke out. Mr. Mittens had actually been a part of idea for the strip from the beginning. The original idea was no more than, “A hobo gets hired to teach at college and has a cat who does drugs.” Oddly, it took us this long to do the other half of the original idea.
It truly was a turning point. Besides Mr. Mittens being introduced, we also introduced the two Greek organizations on campus–Lambda Lambda Lambda and Alpha Sigma Sigma.
