The Comic Strip:

The Quaternion
"The Quaternion" is a self-contained 'year-in-the-life' comic strip I am diligently working on. It will chronicle the freshman year of an undergraduate with some...interesting problems. While I can't tell you too much of the story without giving away the plot, I can tell you that it would run in UT's The Daily Beacon over the course of two consecutive fall and spring semesters as I have previously discussed with the Beacon staff. Due to the necessity of a tight story line, I plan to complete the entire story along with cartoons before I will allow the strip to run, so this one may take some time.

This strip evolved from my supersenior year as an undergraduate when I almost ran a weekly strip in the school newspaper,
The Pacer. I couldn't seem to get one of the characters of that strip out of my head, and The Quaternion evolved from the ashes of that strip.

The protagonist is Ashleigh, a naive and shy freshman in her first experiences with the world outside of what her parents created and enforced as her childhood and adolescent environment.

Other characters include:
Bast - an insightful, if not over-protective, cat
Falstaff - an alcoholic, chainsmoking Teddy Bear
Beckett - a very spiritual Black Swan

This one is chock full o' symbolism, allusion, and blatant potty humor, so try to keep up.
