Permanent Tanooki

Permanent Tanooki was conceived sometime during the spring semester of 2000 by two college students sitting in a class entitled Religious, Ethics and Moral Problems. Rather than paying attention, the two spent most of the time reading and discussing the comics page of the Cavalier Daily, eventually deciding to write their own strip. The rest of the semester was spent developing the ideas and characters that would become Permanent Tanooki. When the comic launched the following August, it quickly became apparent that the two could have spent more time paying attention in their ethics course rather than discussing comics. Over its three year run in the Cavalier Daily, Permanent Tanooki established its irreverance toward pretty much everything, making jokes about everything from religion to testicular cancer and even running a fake obituary for a fellow student (Don't worry, that student was in on the joke). During the last year of its run, Permanent Tanooki dabbled in some corporate sponsorship, replacing the beloved monkey JFK with the mascot of a local establishment. At the time the creators were only interested in procuring free beer. However, after a three year hiatus, Permanent Tanooki is making its triumphant return, with a reunited Corbin and JFK and a slew of returning characters (well the ones that aren't dead at least) searching for meaning in their lives after college.

Here are some old strips that were printed in the Cavalier Daily:
Hopefully, you'll see a difference in the effort this time around.
