The collection consists of 64 original cartoons, editorial and otherwise, created between 1988 and 1990 by Washington State University student Kevin T. Brockschmidt for use in the WSU student newspaper, the Evergreen. They deal with local issues such as book pricing, athletics, and student drinking, as well as national issues.
The cartoons are done in pencil, ink, and marker, with some white-out corrections. Each is about 6”x8”, on 8.5”x11” heavy paper. Publication dates, where known, have been penciled in on the backs by the creator.
The cartoons are maintained in chronological order, which is how they were received. They have been foldered by school semester for ease of handling.
