TENPAM celebration 7

Here are "Voll-E Ball Comix" from 2006 & 2007! We played a lot of volleyball in PE around that time. The original comics were allegorical about my friend and this boy in our class who was annoying. However, I didn't draw them to look like the real people at all, and the characters soon took on a life of their own. This was also during the time I thought huge square glasses were soooo cool.

The truth is, I just spelled volley wrong. But I blamed it on my buffoon character. 6-26-06

I drew his hair with those specks in the first panel to copy the bully Moe from Calvin and Hobbes. Also: "aide," another word I couldn't spell. In subsequent comics I think I continued doing it wrong on purpose because I thought it was funny. 6-26-06.

That "PE BOSS" is kind of scary. Of course, you fix nets with net tape. 6-26-06

I either made a lot of these in one day (very possible), or I forgot to change the date when I was scanning these. 6-26-06

This might have been around when I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Thus, holding up the helmet faceplate. Here you can see I needed an extra panel in the bottom row. Crayola markers don't stay on white-out very well. 6-28-06

Good comedic timing on this one! 3-2-07

The joke is that she knew if she left him alone, he'd tell the audience his secret defense--which in this case was... nose reinforcements. Then she dashed back and doofed him before he could put it back on. She's a meta-fictional mastermind. 3-3-07

His plan was to simply make any noise besides "doof." 4-8-07

I really worked hard to make those grapes the right color. I might have busted out my other marker set. 4-8-07

I was so close to correctly spelling "although." Althoguh, I still got it wrong. 4-8-07

The kid volleyballs we used in school were pretty soft. I never tried to cut a hole into one though, so I don't know how they'd be as boxing gloves. 5-26-07

I had this  habit of spelling out super weird speech patterns that made sense in my head, and perhaps might have worked out loud, but look pretty weird on paper. 7-10-07
