Sunshine
This is a verbatim conversation I had with my daughter when she was 4. I was baffled at first and then realized what she was thinking…
A brilliant example of kid logic.

The first Farquar and Banana comic. This one is riddled with Backstory: At some point Banana used to wear a cape, and then stopped, and has obviously started wearing it again…all for unexplained reasons. And despite their tension, Farquar and Banana still walk off into the sunset together…BESTIES

A goofy little comic about some of life’s various disappointments. It all culminates with a stunning clima….maybe not stunning, but certainly a meaningful resolution that has captured the hearts of Americ…well, at least it has likely happened to you.
Something from outside:

Prospects – Farquar
College is not only a source of education but many folks figure that a situation that densely packs in peers that have similar ambitions as you is an opportunity for finding relationship prospects. Farquar, despite being a smooth guy, has his fair share of issues finding an even remote level of mutual interest.
–Ultimately I did go to grad school and that is when I found my would-some-day-be wife, but we didn’t actually meet at school.

Questions for the Maker – Farquar
We’ve all have some questions for the maker, some more lofty than others. This conversation with Farquar and his roommate pretty much spells out some of society’s most pressing questions.
-Published in the NC State Technician back during my Senior year. My roommates and I had a pretty similar conversation at one point. I’m a fan of how when Farquar’s roommate imagines the sun, it takes on his own facial hair style.

Catch the Game – Farquar
When it comes to getting tickets to your University’s Student section, it often comes down to winning a lottery. That was the case at NC State meaning often times you were not able to get in. This NC State featured comic depicts an alternate method of getting in to see the game.

Declaration Point – Farquar
Towards the end of the initial Farquar series, the title character wanted to make a declaration to change the world. In my opinion, it still makes sense. Why do we only know of “Tall, dark and Handsome”? Farquar’s hopes were of course dashed as things have seemly not changed. Some of the best drawings in the series.
Original Version: The original version had 4 more panels. His declaration implied that freckles should be more highly valued in society despite how Farquar was never portrayed with freckles. The final frames hint that the Comic artist was just being lazy in leaving Farquar un-freckled. I’m pretty certain that it didn’t make sense to anyone so the first 4 frames are more suited to stand on their own.
