There is no better way to celebrate being done with it all than to transform the stressful ordeal into irreverent humor and introspective reflections – and for me, that means whipping up a few comics. I’m not going to pretend like I can keep up any sort of regular update schedule (believe me, I’ve tried before!), so instead, I’m just going to draw a bunch of them out of order, upload them in some sensible order, and be done with it. In total, I hope to produce one to two dozen four-panel strips in my usual lousy pencil style.
There are certainly pre-med comics in existence. The one that I’m aware of is an offshoot of “Below the Mean” called “Pass/No Pass,” and I think that it’s certainly worth a read and quite a few chuckles. My comic won’t repeat any ideas from there (alas, he has already claimed the “urge to say something inappropriate during the interview” gag).
So far, I have sketches for 7 strips, but I’ll hopefully have time to draw them formally when I get home. I’m unfortunately currently occupied with my UROP and trying to pick out places to do a lab rotation over the summer, so I can only sketch and sketch.
