BLAKE HITS THE BIG-TIME...

Mark the date on your calendars bob-onliners...September 28th, 1999. The first day Blake ever appeared in a periodical publication outside of highschool. The birth of a new era for Blake, Dustin, and the new cast of characters. Student Life is the bi-weekly newspaper at the college I attend, Washington University in St. Louis. After reworking the strip a bit over the summer of 99, and resubmitting my ideas to the editors, I've scored a bi-weelky slot. The paper comes out on Tuesdays and Fridays, and for those of you who don't have the advantage of being on campus, I've made the effort to archive the building collection here at Bob's Comics. The "daily" or most recent strip will always appear at the Bob's Comics homepage on that day of the week. So, you can stop by twice a week if you'd like, or just come straight to the archive. I've finally cleaned up the format of this page, with all comics as of 4/28/00 scanned in and listed with a little summary. Because the links are direct to the image files, you may want to have your browser set to a default white background-- Internet Explorer users need not worry. The next batch of comics should arrive by early September, so if you've read them all, check by around then for more, or e-mail me to get added to the mailing list. You may also notice the date on the comic is different from what appears on this main archive. I have sorted them by date published, which tends to vary by a couple weeks. The comics tend to follow a sequence as well. Write me if you have any comments, my e-mail is on the bottom of the site.
