Kilzor: The Killer Robot

Seasons Greetings everyone! It's again been a long while since I last posted, and trust me I have a few posts simmering, just waiting to be posted. In the mean time, I've been studying for exams and shoveling snow cause that all there is to do as a student living in Edmonton.

I've taken a small break out of my studying to quickly post something of great importance to me. 4 years ago, a friend of mine showed me a small cartoon he drew up hoping to get published for the Gateway. His comic was rejected on the basis of style and content by the editor at the time. If anyone has ever read the Gateway, it's hard to decipher what can be considered the threshold for what will be published as a comic in the paper. Anyways, for the next 4 years he kept on creating the comic, known as Kilzor: The Killer Robot. Time after time again, he was rejected and even for a small time my friend joined the writing staff in the A&E section in the hopes of gaining good graces to possibly get his comic published. Again his creation was turned down. This December my friend graduates from school and just like 4 years ago. In class, he pulled out a comic for me to see. Actually he pulled out his whole collection over the last 4 years. Suffice to say I didn't pay attention much to this class as I just went through all these comics and I couldn't help to think about how disappointed that none of these comics got to see some newspaper ink.

 So from time to time, I'll be posting the comics with my friend's blessing and hopefully you'll enjoy them.
