Cold Makes A Mascot Out Of Himself Part 2
Monday was Labor Day so there wasn’t a strip, and Tuesday’s was meant to refresh your minds if you had forgotten Cold’s attempt to become the new U of I mascot. This is the second part of Cold’s struggle, ending with his legacy forever a part of campus history.

Here’s the first week of strips! They’re about coming back to school and finding the U of I a much needed mascot, because without a rallying figurehead, what is the purpose of our education? But beware, the story about Cold becoming the mascot does not end this week! Tune back in next week, or in Tuesday’s paper, to see this ongoing drama!

It’s a new semester which means new classes, new books and new friends. Most importantly, it means new comic strips! I’m fortunate enough to have a new strip and a new artist, the fabulous Sara Jahn.

Capes & Cowls is proud to announce Hot & Cold, the next generation of free college newspaper humor! Hot, a demon from Hell, and Cold, a penguin from the ever-melting Arctic, star in this neverending romp of tomfoolery. They go to the U of I for some reason, and are pretty much Cape & Cowl, only they are a demon and penguin, not super heroes. Yay for creativity!
I figured these first two issues of the DI needed to address the transition from Cape & Cowl to Hot & Cold, so I unartistically axed Cape. It was funsies.
Tune back every week for the complete run of Hot & Cold for those five days!

My name is Matt Knicl. I'm a U of I alumn and one of those unemployed English majors Garrison Keillor likes to make fun of. I've been reading comics since high school and one day I would like to write them. My goal is to expose readers to what is out there in the world of comics and using my English powers, show what is worth reading or not. I can be reached at buzz.comics@gmail.com.
