This was another strip taken from my own experience. I didn’t know that Oberlin had a gym until halfway through my freshman year. Needless to say I wasn’t a linebacker (nervous laugh while fixing tie).
Also, this strip was the subtle introduction of the Toupy/LE/Erik love triangle story. A story that would rock the strip to its very foundation. A story that would alienate both the strip’s fans. A story that would, ultimately, go nowhere…
