As a child I was extremely interested in comic strips, so much so that in
the junior high schools I attended in Redwood City I created three that
ran as serials in the student newspapers. Links to reduced sample pages of
each strip are provided below.

Discus and Africus ran in 14 parts in the McKinley Trojan during the
1972-73 school year at McKinley Junior High School. As the school mascot
at that time was a Trojan warrior, so was the strip's protagonist. The feature
was intended to continue during the following school year, but I changed
schools, so the remainder of the story (finished and existing as raw art) was
never published. Part 12 is reproduced here.

Ferd and Charley ran in eight parts in the Redeemer Brave during the
1973-74 school year at Redeemer Lutheran School. This time around I
ignored the school mascot (an Indian) in favor of two spiders. The story and art
were better, but does not scan well due to the poorer reproductive process by
which the paper was published. Part 8, page 1 is reproduced here.

Grok ran in three parts in Newsline, the newsletter of Redeemer
Lutheran's church youth group, during the summer and fall of 1974. The
appearance of a cave man strip in a religious publication did not, as far as I
know, bother anybody. Part 3 is reproduced here.
