University Doodles: Cartoons

As some of you will know, I recently completed four years learning physics at university. As well as an MPhys, this has left me with three big boxfiles and several more big leverarch files full of a combination of notes and doodles. Some of those doodles are quite funny. Others were rubbish. Some of them you’ll understand. Some of them only I understand.

These are the ones everyone will get, or at least, everyone except the very stupid.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a scanner anymore. (That’s not true, last time I saw it, it was sat in the same cupboard as the boxfiles, but it’s not compatible with Windows XP, and that’s that.) So here is a selection of things I scanned at the time ’” mostly from the first year. The ones from later years are mostly better, but also far more dependant on you having been in most of my classes, which you weren’t.

These were the first ones I came up with, I think:

I like to think I've improved since I drew this.

TV22 is a play on TV21, who filmed Techno Games 2000.

Of course, they're still mostly themed around whatever lecture I was in when I drew them.

This is based on Annie who sat next to me, and is four foot eleven. A few weeks ago she married Alex, another friend of mine who is five foot one. They make a great couple and they saved a few quid on little plastic people for the cake by standing on the top tier themselves.

Your guess s as good as mine on this chap.

Hamsters are funny.

I think there might be a Far Side cartoon along a very similar theme to this.

A lot of people don't get this one. Nuts to those people.

When I drew the first frame of this I didn't think it would ever have a second. Funny how these things work out sometimes.

Asking to phone a friend is never funny. Never.
