This is the last episode of Chapter One. I’ll be taking a break over the holidays and returning the first Monday of January.
If you need something to do in the meantime, you can always catch up by rereading the events chronicled thus far beginning right here.

This is part of a story arc that begins here——–>*

When The Colorblind Art Teacher weekly strip turned one year old at the beginning of July, I started to write a very poignant episode regarding something that happened to me fifteen years ago, that ties into what my life has become today. I realized that there was too much to say and that it would have to be a multiple episode story arc. It went from two parts…to four…to more. As of right now, I intend on making it a 52-parter (one year) but there’s a chance it’ll go even further.
“The One Where I Step Foot On That Campus Again” is the tenth episode so far in the series. In case you need to catch up, here’s that first episode.

Last week was a very sad one in the world of underground comics. Cleveland native and writer, Harvey Pekar passed away at the age of 70. For those who are unfamiliar, he’s best known for his autobiographical anthology, American Splendor.
When I was hired at Olathe Medical Center in late 1995, the similarities between my new day job and Mr. Pekar’s were not lost on me at the time. This particular episode was finished and scheduled for this week, but with a different ending. However, the opportunity to pay tribute was just too perfect not to pass up.

I was trying to think of the perfect band to represent on the t-shirt I’d be wearing in this episode. Seemed that the music of Possum Dixon represents the 1996 “Me” the best. With only three albums, and a handful of EP’s, they’re one band who wasn’t around long enough “fade away.” Which might be a good thing. They were definitely one of my favorites at that time.

I could do an entire series based on this guy.

Matt, way to stick it out by yourself. I don’t think we ever apologized for ditching you. You probably made that old woman’s year.

Now that the holiday season is upon us, do you know what would make a great gift? The Colorblind Art Teacher three-issue mini-comic bundle that can be found at the store.

Yes, somebody call PETA. An actual fly was harmed in the making of this comic strip. Although the actual violence happened “off screen.”

This is taken from a short story that was written by Terry Scruton. The original can be viewed at his blog, The Man With The Screaming Brain. Yes, I took some liberties with it.

Papa Jim & The Case Of The Questionable Handicap Sign
on November 16, 2009 at 12:00 amPosted In: Comic
This was a true story but, unfortunately, I wasn’t really around to witness it. The scenario can be categorized as an ongoing series of Papa Jim’s “Larry David moments.” If you’ve never met Papa Jim, he is, in fact, a conservative Larry David.

If you’ve never heard the one about the piccolo player, you’re certainly missing out. Don’t ask me to tell you and, for that matter, don’t try to Google it. Even if you can find it, the way you read or hear it won’t do it the justice that Papa Jim can in his delivery.

This particular episode includes two very special guest stars. The first is my principal, friend and mentor, Rufus Black. Needless to say, my life changed for the better on the day I first sat down to meet with Mr. Black. As much as I complain about my job, I love it, primarily, due to my colleagues.
The second cameo is by Steven Ronaldson of Staten Island, New York. Steven won a contest that I had on The Colorblind Art Teacher fan page on Facebook. It was Steven’s quick wit and cunning abilities that won him a place in this final scene. Congratulations to Steven.

If you haven’t seen Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are yet, you’re missing out. And anybody who says it isn’t “appropriate for kids” is only saying that because Robin Williams isn’t supplying the voice of Carol and breaking out into Johnny Carson imitations and rapping at the drop of a hat. Oh yeah, and Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” isn’t anywhere to be found. I found that Audrey’s love for the book lies in the fact that the monsters are actually friends with Max. She realized this going in, and knew that it was the point of the story. We’ll definitely be buying it on DVD.
As for the torn t-shirt, I’ve been looking for it on ebay for the past several years and no luck.

Yes, I know today’s comic is late. I was working a week or two ahead of schedule and fell behind last week. I had the strip finished on Thursday and never got a chance to scan it on Friday. So, of course, it sat there all weekend. So here it is.
You may also notice that the “cover” is missing to this. Well, I don’t like doing those covers, and have always wished I’d never started it. Partially, it’s because it’s hard for me to come up with two complimentary colors to use every week, that I haven’t previously used. Also, I always forget about doing a cover and then have to add one as an afterthought. I’m thinking I’m going to stop the covers altogether for the web strips. If I have enough people complaining and wanting them back, I’ll reconsider. But, as of right now, it makes life a lot easier without them.
