This is what Puppy and Armpit looked like when they debuted in Sagebrush, September 1987.

Casino coffee shops We came up with dozens of hypothetical scenarios late at night in casino coffee shops. If I kept notes they're long gone by now, but there were times we were quite amused with ourselves. Once college started in the fall, we both found ourselves working at the student newspaper, Sagebrush. Cory wrote a column called Cadger's Creed and, along with doing production at the paper, I filled a void on the comics page - with those characters. I called it 'Like, For Shore!'   Wanna take a peek at more old, sucky examples from those days?
