It's hard to say whether the jokes haven't held up, or whether they were just never aimed at people in their 40s. It's Cho's early work, so of course it's less polished in both art and writing. I was surprised, though, at just how many of the best jokes eventually made it into Liberty Meadows. Ultimately I think it's for serious Cho fans (or UMD alums from the 90s) only. ( ) Frank Cho had a comic strip while in college, set in college, called "University 2" and which was a kind of precursor to "Liberty Meadows", with many of the same main characters. Even many of the strips are reprised here in an earlier incarnation. The art is rougher and less polished, the humor a little more raw (at one point Brandy fears she is pregnant by Frank, who has here become her live-in lover). I like the strip; it's quite affable and mildly humorous, but the main draw is that delectable artwork, particularly whenever the camera focuses on Brandy, one of the most drop-dead gorgeous women in comics. no reviews | add a review
University2 (pronounced University Squared) is a collection of all Frank Cho's daily college strips from the University of Maryland student newspaper. These are the college strips that launched his career in the world of syndication. University2 is the precursor to Liberty Meadows and is a must for fans who want to see the raw humor that evolved into Liberty Meadows. No library descriptions found. |
