Eye of the Monkey
Cast
"Eye of the Monkey" was a comic originally published by the Cavalier Daily newspaper at the University of Virginia from 1997 until 1999. So you're interested in finding out how it all began, eh?
The two creators of the comic strip, Dan and Jeff, originally created a comic known as "Lord Hardwick's Comedy Theatre", a delightful and irreverent comic delight that caused quite a stir on campus...especially after our comic depicting the humorous historical event of Jesus punching Buddha. Needless to say, the controversy caused the publishing newspaper, The University Journal, to fold later that week after 17 years. At the same time, this cataclysmic event propelled Dan and Jeff into the spotlight and endeared them in the hearts of UVA college students and faculty alike. After this devastating setback, lesser men would have rolled up into the fetal position and cried, but not Dan and Jeff. We took it all in stride, accepting that God was testing us, testing our strength and faith. We accepted this challenge and began our quest to see our vision brought back to life, much like Jesus came back to life. It became our mission to see that our comic would be seen by every man, woman, and child on earth, whether they wanted to or not. So we submitted our comic to the enlightened editors at the Cavalier Daily and were promptly accepted. After publishing for two years, alas, both Dan and Jeff graduated from UVA and went their separate paths. For 6 long, cold years, the world grew bitter and sad in the absence of "Eye of the Monkey" bringing laughter and mirth to the filthy peasant masses. This longness and coldness comes to an end thanks to the so-called "internet"....
