Class Menagerie Haikus v1.21
An exercise in futility by Mark "PunkTiger" Correia

Class Menagerie An excellent comic by Vince Suzukawa These haiku groupings are two for each character. Now, on with the show...

Meet Tony Durham Transformed to a "Bull of Steel" from a chubby calf. Shy and sensitive, he's our kindly narrator to all this weirdness.

Smart-alec Kevin always puts his two-cents in... Watch him get clobbered. "Mechie" through and through, soul of artist lies within. Smart, and he knows it.

Brad, the big Jayhawk, really needs a caffeine fix to start his day right. No backwater hick (don't let his accent fool you). Studies law full-time.

And then there's Mikey... His hairstyle changes daily! (Only kidding, Vince.)

Super-roo Mikey has his nose deep in a book. No time for folly. Overachiever, Physics, Money and Music... Life is a schedule.

Into chemistry, Cindy, the quite proper horse, always has a smile. Holds her own quite well. She's the dorm's calming factor. Likes Tony a lot.

A snug and a smile. Lisa's personality is unbridled joy. She spreads happiness with the occasional pounce. She can be a pill.

Studly Scott Sorrell, Lounge Lizard extraordinaire, thinks he's so G.Q. Just one of the guys. Shows a streak of compassion when the chips are down.

Dani, the R.A., the essence of "school spirit", keeps a tidy ship. Doesn't kid around. Watch out for her clipboard, she'll whack you on the head.

Percy "Biff" Kingston, quarterback for DeMontfort is boorish and crude. Son of rich parents, He only scores on the field... much to his dismay.

Spotty dog Ryan wants to make life difficult for Tony and Kev. His first plan had failed. Now he's teamed with Algernon for a sweet revenge.

An evil genius, Algernon is the walrus... ummm... goo goo g'joob.

Algernon is mad... building metal monsters and planning an attack. Fixated on plumes, he might tear down Richter Hall just to steal them back.

More to Come
