I never make resolutions for a new year unless they’re really vague, so usually I tell the world that I plan to read more, write more, and draw more. Those are all pretty straightforward, and my success or failure can’t be easily measured unless I put forth way more effort than I want. But Winslow? This guy’s unstoppable. No one has a resolution success rate like this. Ben has every right to be jealous.

Everybody’s dropping mixtapes now, and it can be hard to figure out which ones are worth your time. This reviewer has unearthed a collection that is both historical and fantastic. No mere concept album or casual listen, this compendium will practically revolutionize what you think you know about music and potentates. When it takes over the airwaves, you’ll be happy to listen.

Hello again, folks! Looks like Winslow’s been roused, so I can start posting Ben & Winslow comics again. Going on hiatus is nice and all, but, like Winslow, if I don’t find ways to be productive I waste a lot of time. Thankfully I took a whole week off from work after Christmas, so I had lots of time to draw fresh comics. My stockpile’s pretty good now. Here’s hoping to a great 2016!

Now that our fall semester is underway, I would like to take a moment to share with you my thoughts on what promises to be yet another remarkable year here at Pillston College.

Our year has begun auspiciously with the arrival of the Class of 2019. Some 180 strong, they represent five states and three foreign countries, including Canada. They are a heterogeneous group, our most diverse ever. In fact, only 92 percent are white, middle class, and hail from one of the three surrounding counties. Our enrollment management team’s efforts to reach out to new populations surely have paid dividends. Just walk around campus and you can see how diverse we’ve become. Our minority students really stand out.

1. You wake up at 6:23 a.m. to the sound of the dog barking at the back door. You go outside to the living room and find your son playing his XBox One, claiming he “doesn’t speak dog” and has no idea what she wants.

2. You head to the bathroom and don’t see the steaming pile of dog shit sitting on the kitchen floor as you nearly pull a groin. Your new slippers are now ruined as you consider the dog really did have to go out.
