Summary

F Minusmakes the grade.Creator Tony Carrillo brings us a profoundly funny strip that asks the following questions: Why are we here? What is life all about? Can I take only one shower per week if it's seven times the normal length?This very funny, quirky comic strip was chosen by more than 200,000 college students as the winner of the mtvU Strips Contest.F Minusis a strip short on life lessons, precious moments, and pearls of wisdom. It tackles life's serious issues, pins them to the ground, and steals their lunch money. Then it feels a little bit guilty and gives some of it back."I draw my material from my experiences at a wide array of failed careers," says Carrillo. "Over time, I have worked as a pizza cook, Web site designer, dancing costumed character, portrait artist, insurance drone, waiter, custom framer, camel ride attendant at the zoo, and the guy at the airport that waves orange wands at the airplanes. As varied as these jobs were, eventually I had the profound realization that they all had two important things in common: each offered a wealth of comedic inspiration and there was always a creepy guy named Larry."Life isn't fair. But it sure is funny inF Minus.* Carrillo began his drawing career while attending Arizona State University.F Minusappeared in the college newspaper,The State Press, for two years.* In December 2004, the strip was named the winner of the 2004 mtvU Strips Contest, as chosen by judges Scott Adams, creator ofDilbert, and David Rees, creator ofGet Your War On, as well as more than 200,000 online voters.
