Hopefully, this page will get some attention and updating soon, but in the meantime, if you want to look at some old Trent and Kay comics, you're in the right place. These were done while I was in college and filled with angst of some sort and perhaps rage, but I haven't received the test results yet. I have to say that I'm not especially proud of them in terms of the writing or art, as they were all put off until the last minute and scribbled out to meet deadlines, because I lack any and all manner of discipline. However, excuses aside, I am happy to have them archived here as the beginnings of something that's very important to me.

Note: Be warned that I haven't updated the pages for each comic itself, so you'll get a special peek at the old-school (read: butt-ugly) "design" of the original T&K site.
