Funny, but I've already seen it.

There are some more old ones here: http://chappie.stanford.edu/staff/Chris%20Onstad/

Yeah, I'd seen that one before.

So does anyone else think it's odd that Onstad still submits stuff to his old college humour magazine?  I mean, is he like those guys who've graduated but still hang out at the old school as his friends stay the same age but he keeps getting older and creepier, trying to fit into a world he was always a wrong-shaped peg in?

Seriously, Onstad.  Don't make me have to pour off half of my 40 for you.

Very much agreed with jough.  Some of my friends in university do the equivalent of this for high school, and I find it creepy.  
And the comic... well, I doubt that he was posting it out of reverence for its comedic potential.

It certainly is. I guess Mr. O is looking at his archive for inspiration.

I'd love to look but WebSense filters it as "Traditional Religious" and won't let me in. I shit you not.

God I hate censorware.

See, we have a few of these guys around our college, but they tend to have either graduated last year (and thus actually be visiting friends from college who still go here) or who are impressively hands-off. Onstad really has no excuse at this point.

Mostly I'm marvelling at the chutzpah he has for rereleasing Variety Hour crap as daily content!

If I just go back once a year for the Film Festival that doesn't make me Creepy Guy, right? Right?!

I kinda liked From the Desk of Johnny Cash.


Yeah, that showed up in the much-hated Variety Hour last August.

Yep.  And that's the AIDS Monkey there, too.

This incredible wealth of content from a guy who, just weeks ago, was taking time off to explore syndication....

ScaryGoRound is fresh and funny every day. Achewood, when it is funny, is much much funnier but doesn't hit every day.

It's a little sad to see this old stuff put up and I am left wondering if there is something going on in Onstad's life that is interfering with the daily output. If so, I hope everything turns out OK and he can get back to doing what he generally does very well, which is turn out an irreverent cartoon with some cultural relevance that is usually funny, every day.

No complaints from me on the free stuff. I actually am far more entertained by this web board, in general, than the cartoon.
