Where the birds and the bees become the birdbees

Where to begin? Obviously not at the beginning, since the first blogpost for this comic is attached to the second strip, not the first. So let me start slightly after the beginning: Sean presented me with three comic strip ideas, with HOU (That’s what the cool kids call Hollow Oak University) being one of them. What were the other two? Not going to tell, because they might still see the light of day at some point in the future. Gotta save some ideas for the major motion picture, you know?

They say write what you know, and while Sean and I aren’t quite the mad scientists Berkeley (introduced in this strip) and Chester (introduced in the first strip) are, we do know the trials and tribulations of doing research in a University setting. Berkeley and Chester aren’t grad students, per se, they are more like staff, those who work on research, but aren’t professors, but aren’t there to take classes. Hence, they have a lot of free time to create and destroy.

What does the future hold for these characters? Who knows? I hope to have a year’s worth of work, which is going to be hard, because I have a tendency to abandon long-term creative pursuits after a few weeks (see my Lost blogs, both “Lost for a 100 Days,” my solo blog, and “Lost: Science vs. Faith,” which, lo and behold, was a colaborative effort with Sean. Both have not been updated in ages). But I am really excited about HOU and how could I not be? Look at the artwork, that is all Sean. I write the lame punchlines and he makes them at least look pretty.

So, please enjoy Hollow Oak University. On the update side, for now, I plan to upload one new comic every week, on Mondays. As we build up our warehouse of comics, updates will come more frequently. Also note that if you are having trouble reading the comic, you can click on it to enlarge it. If you are still having trouble, let me know and I will see if I can format the size on WordPress by hand.

See you next week!

Already Dead

VERSES (D E7 G A7)X2 (D F# Bm Bm/A E) (D E7 G D)

Where are we going

And, how will I know

If I told you I love you

Would there still be a show

Could live with me then

Can you live with me now

Cause when you're trying to kill me

Baby, I just don't know

We went out breakfast

You poisoned my pancakes

The arsenic didn't kill me

Just enough to give me a headache

Does it mean you love me?

Or that you can't convert grams into ounces

If you wanted to kill me, baby

I'd already be dead

You got some candle stick holders

Which, you used to beat me about

But, I was wearing a heavy coat

And, baby, you never workout

You only fractured my ribs

But, my heart broke with every blow

If you wanted to kill me, baby

I'd already be dead

You hired a hit man

But, didn't pay for a pro

You put an add up on Craigslist

And, hired any old schmo

What'd think it would come to?

It was 12 year old girl with a pen knife

If you wanted to kill me, baby

I'd already be dead

CHORUS (A A7 D D7 )X2 (G F#/C# Adim7 Bm)X2 (D E7 G D)

I can tell you that you love me

When you forget I keep blanks in the gun

Putting drugs in the Coffee

When you know damn well I drink none

Your sending mixed signals, I need to find out why

Your plans end in shambles, it's like you don't even try

Cause when you're trying to kill me

Baby, I just don't know

BRIDGE C G AmX2

I'd give up on the blow torch

your only singeing your hair

You're just lashing out here

I know deep down you care

This shed is three quaters metal

It's not that likely to burn

Why don't go back inside

And, think about what we've learned
