One Minute Wonder One

So I have a big midterm this week and find that I won't be able to draw comics like I had planned. So I decided to try something new. There's a website that I participate in that they give you a word and then you write on it for 1 minute. Well that's what I'm going to do here i.e. I'm going to make a comic in under a minute. They won't be anything fancy and I'll probably save the jokes I like the most for well drawn comics...but yeah. Enjoy all the same~!


Me and a random wait staff! So this past week the dishroom changed it's cleaning supply. To us, it just means that it's a different color. I know Hazcom man would have a fit that I don't yet know it's name, but I've never known pinks name either sadly (DPF 72 or something like that) ...That being sad, the old sanitizer was pink and the new one is yellow...but telling someone to yellow and blue doesn't have the same ring as telling them to pink and blue. As far as I'm concerned, it's still pink and I'm not color blind.

Week 67!

Whoot! It's a Monday guys! You know what that means! Comics!!! :D Whoot! Enjoy~!

Richard, Jason, and Me! So I saw another catering company on campus the other day and decided that we needed a catering mafia. Of course...it would just have to be an enigmatic being in catering that slowly took out other caterers and the members thereof were unbeknownst to everyone else...haha...I had to look up the uniform for Jason's Deli and it was actually online!!! HA~! But what would be the worst that BYU students would do? Make the other caterers feel guilty?

President Obama, Me, President Eyring, and President Monson! Wow...I didn't think I'd ever be in the same sentence as those people...I should write sentences with my name and famous people more often...anyways, so I doubt this comic would ever be true. I would be very excited to serve the President of the United States of America and quite star struck when giving President Obama his dessert. Just not as excited as I would be to serve someone I revere as much as President Monson.
Me and Mariah! Mariah actually came up with this idea...because she was the one that actually looked it up. I looked it up...but I didn't want to make a comic about my definition. I've met many a wait staff who have to have me repeat and explain what I'm asking for when I request chaffers. So no worries guys, just don't bring me any bugs please. I have no sympathy for them. Plus I'd just let chaffer's go, and that would be bad for the Provo ecosystem!

week 66!

So though it would have been cool to do something about it being the 66th 'week' of my Go catering comics...I fell ill this week and opted for sleep instead of drawing with my free time (though I had ideas this week, what a paradox). But I did manage to eek out a comic. Enjoy~!
Meme, Meagan B., Richard B., and Tammy B.! Yay for another installment of the Captain's card game! At work I'll occasionally come upon someone looking for something in vain (like bev naps or something). I'll ask them what it is and it'll take me a few seconds to find it. While I still can't find some things (like the currently oh so elusive plastic tablecloths...they're not where they're supposed to be!), I find this ability that most captains have to be quite taken for granted. My favorite was after I'd done this for someone they exclaimed "I swear! Captain's have this summoning ability" and it made me giggle. :D

Week 65

Yay comics! :D So I was going to do a comic for President's day, but I didn't get to it yet. So know that in about a week, if you really want to, you can read a comic about president's day, a holiday you probably didn't even celebrate anyways. Enjoy~!
Meme and Richard! So I just have to say that Richard is an unending source of good comics. Thank you Richard. This comic is inspired by how sometimes captains' don't always realize how long it takes to do a certain task (and also to those who choose to take their sweet time doing a task that can cause complications). I must admit that I don't always work as fast as I could, but I hope I never sink so low as to take 45 min to do a 2 min task. Michael J. and his roommate! So...I've been voted catering's 'most likely to drop a dish' in our little catering awards this past fall catering party. An honor to be sure. As such I know what it's like to have a haunting conscious about how many glasses I manage to break. Ok...so maybe it's just me. In the great words of Doug-who-knows-everything "It's not the first time it's happened and it won't be the last."
Jonathan and Meme! So every once in awhile, we change the codes for the doors at catering! What with the new age of texting (if this hasn't occured to you yet) you can make little acronyms and such to help you remember said codes. I personally thought it would be funny if this was actually true...an override code for when you mess up too many times that spells out 'idiot'...ah...so amusing. By the way, you can mess up three times before it locks you out...yes...

Week 63! Tribute to Sara!

:D Hey guys! I've kept my promise! Here is a continuation of one of my previous comics! It is also a tribute to one of our veteran Captains Sara Z. Yay! Enjoy~!
Meme, Karen R., Sara Z., The Fish-head, Michael J., James W., Tammy B., and Melissa W.! Since this didn't actually happen irl...I don't really have a story to go along with it. Um...I did feel like I was playing an old tune because I used 'shoulder angels'...but I think it still works :D

Week 64

So I lied. If you haven't noticed, I haven't posted for awhile and I actually don't intend to post the comic that I originally promised (though it is coming) (see last post). I've had a sort of drawing block that usually comes along with writers block; drawing comics became more of a chore than a hobby for awhile there. So I must apologize for my lack of vigor in drawing you guys comics. I think it's coming back to me though so no worries!

I do have a few comics for you this week, so I hope it compensates a little for the past 3 weeks! Enjoy~!

Muffins! Ok, so ever since I was introduced to muffinfilms.com I've ALWAYS wanted to do a comic about muffins, but I never really found something good enough. Well, I quite adore what I came up with here and I hope you do too! Explanation-wise I was going through the muffins on my banquet and there was a really ugly one that I set aside from the other muffins in a section on the tray that I deemed "the unservables" in my mind (you've all done it I'm sure). Since I like to give inanimate objects character, this comic was born. One might also say "You jerk! How dare you ruin that muffins self esteem!?". Well, all I have to say to you is muffins don't have feelings. What were you thinking? ;)
Richard! Ok, imagine yourself going off of 4 hours of sleep, going into work, and then getting the urge to draw comics with no material whatsoever. It makes this comic 10x's more funny I think. This is kinda what I mean by my 'writer's block'. Maybe I'll just start drawing random scenery at catering...but that's harder than people...anyways.

Week 62+!

With this last post I am up to date once again (whoot) and I have a treat for you in store! See, I started drawing my comics in a format in an attempt to do a one panel jokes and such, but when I first started drawing comics in a one page multi-panel format. Well, next weeks comic will be in the multi-panel format AND it's a continuation of a previous comic. Enjoy~! :)

Joe S. and Meme! So I've always wanted to hold a sign up and dance at a street corner but usually my rationality gets in the way so I never do (I hear they pay well...). So I wondered to myself "Would I wear a sign if catering made me?" The answer is probably yes...but I wouldn't dance, so there.

Meme and one of the guys that took one too many candies at the catering booth! Oh I wish , I wish this was true. Well, not really, I don't want to be sued...but it's an amusing thought. Of course when you're giving out free candy and fliers, which one would YOU pick?


Ok, so this comic is from my 'volume 1' of catering comics and is the precursor to next weeks comic. :) Just try and guess hehe.Meme, Tammy, Sara, Lazel, James, Brian, Tommy, random guests, Michael J., and lots of squished wait staff! Ah, the fish head. I've never served a salmon like that personally, but I've seen the aftermath and it's not pretty. But with this comic; I had a lot of ideas that week and I wanted to incorporate them all in a creative way. I also didn't sketch it first in pencil, so for me there are lots of mistakes, but no one else knows what they are so just ignore my random last panel...I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorites, if I'm allowed to have any haha.

week 61

yay more comics~ Enjoy~!
Staci, meme, and Amy! Yes, all three of us were on the passover banquets last year. Stock full of memories, we look forward to see who gets to do those wonderful banquets. I find that it won't be the same without Doug "who-knows-everything" because he used to make the horseradish that was such a main part to the whole sedar service. But since passover is about remembering anyways I'm sure it'll be wrong to forget the rest of what makes those banquets oh so interesting!
Meme, Richard B., and B2! So this comic doesn't portray accurately my own opinion concerning facial hair; it was worth mentioning the pride of the guys at our college when they get to grow out their facial hair over the break. It's quite the unique attitude, no where else is facial hair so risk-ay.
Marie B. and Meme! So with the taking down of the walnut centerpieces there came a lot of free walnuts for the catering staff before break. I really wanted to know what it would be like to eat them when they WERE centerpieces (like oh so many of our customers oddly enough)...but eating a lot of walnuts and such just isn't the same without a nut cracker of some sort, especially the particularly funny looking ones!

Week 59 time warp!

Leeet's do the time warp agaaaaain~! Enjoy~!

Meme and Uncle James! So I was cleaning out a house with my Uncle when we came across a very nice set of champagne glasses and I had a hard time throwing them away. I thought to myself that it ought to be easier because I break glasses all the time at work, but it was not so. Of course irl my Uncle was nicer to his volunteer helper, but I thought it added to the comic.
Scott, random wait staff, random BYU student and old man, and Meme! Over the break I got my wisdom teeth out and it was quite the challenge to eat solids...let alone quickly. I made this connection with catering where there are some tables that we serve that tend to take awhile to eat, and you just want them to EAT FASTER. But they don't, and you learn patience real quick (or learn to hover obstinately hehe).
Meme! As we know there are a lot of centerpieces to choose from to use on our banquets. I was originally going to have the centerpieces insulting me like the flowers do to Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland'...but then I thought this was more amusing that they were vying to be used on my banquet.

Week 60~!...kinda

Well folks it's been a long break but I've got copious comics for you now. Mind you they are all jumbled into different groups...like some are from week 60 but one of them is from another week...and I don't have all of them with me to scan...and...ok...so it doesn't really matter. :D So just enjoy~!

Random Wait Staff, Meme, and a random adult! So I was serving a banquet when I heard someone ringing the goblets. Ever since I worked EFY I've started to associate ringing goblets with said event so it's sort of taken on a childish air to it (even though if I did it personally it wouldn't). It's so much harder to tell a grown man/woman to stop doing that...my reasons seem less...real...know what I mean? Yes...
Meme, Melissa, and Tammy! Even though I don't like to shatter glass in particular, I wanted to break those Christmas centerpieces all season just to see if Mckel and Brooke WOULD kill me like they would insinuate to me oh so many times when I got that glint in my eye. Imagine if you went to heaven and explained how you died. "I broke my boss's centerpiece...yeah" :D

Meme and a random waitstaff! So, there a lot of new people to catering and sometimes our lingo needs explaining. I'm not saying that most people don't know what it is to fan napkins, I'm just saying that I wish this would happen because of how ridiculous it would be to come upon someone...fanning napkins... XD


Well, more to come...especially about those centerpieces.

Week 58

And with this post I am officially caught up in my weekly timeline :D I'm sort sad that I didn't get a Thanksgiving themed cartoon in...oh wells, Enjoy~!Anastacia, Richard B., and Meme! Make fun of my cartoons will you :p
Daniel and Meme! :D
Anastacia and Meme! So I was on a banquet when I noticed that there were sacrament trays in the prep room. I made sure that they didn't come back with us in my little "look around to see if we got everything" phase of clearing out of the building banquets.

Brian G., Meme, Karen, and Barbara! So this is the closest I got to referring to Thanksgiving adventures. I saw Madagascar II and I just thought the scene with the penguins applied to catering quite nicely!

Week 57 Explosion!!!!

Hey guys! A mere two weeks later and I've got the comics up like promised! :D Enjoy~!

Jonathan and Meme! Ok. Sometimes as captains we are required to correct the grooming standards of our wait staff. For me personally this comes in random spurts where I just criticize everyone in my range. But this was completely rational! As soon as he walked into the room I noticed the white belt! Then he 'showed me' by wearing a reversible one...X( man...I feel like one of those people who size up a person by first looking at their shoes or something like that...except horrible construed by catering...
Robby, Joe, Meme, and Melissa! I've always wanted to share my weird hobby of making connections to things that no one else does...it just seems like a lost art though. Anyways, if you are akin to my comic Melissa and don't get my reference with the other hot keepers...nah...you can get it XD
Mike, CougarEat student manager, Meme! So catering and the cougareat are in a constant battle over the hallway in the dishroom. Having been chastised about this in the captain's meeting, I set out to better compromise with them in the future. When we came across the problem again (that very day after the meeting in fact) this is how it went down.
CESM:"Hey, if you don't mind I'm going to move you're catering stuff into the hallway by the ballroom"
Me:"Well the thing is that 801 doesn't want us putting it there so I don't thing you should"
CESM:"Are you sure?"
Me: "Um...yes. You can ask you're supervisor Mike if you'd like"
CESM: "Yeah I think I'll do that."
Then I keep doing the dishes for a bit when I realize some potential mischievousness. I crammed all of the carts into the small opening behind the loading part of the dishwasher and made it so you couldn't even see our carts from the other end of the hallway. Yes I did get a greeaaat amount of self-satisfaction when Mike came and saw nothing and went away with a bemused CESM. muahaha...
Jeff, Ruth, and Meme! There are just some banquets that go wrong (like at the Clyde building where there are NO rooms built with catering in mind) and as a captain you simply do your best and wing it. :D Fun times!
Meme and Dana! yay for play on words :D

More to come! :D

Week 56! The last football game :)

Yay! So I was falling a daze in my classes today and to stay awake I started doodling the rest of the comics! Yay! These 5 in particular are dedicated to the wonderful events known as football games. May they always be stressful fun! Enjoy~!
Tamsin, Meme, EFY kid, Mattress man, and Brittany! The 2nd floor loge has an amazing view of the...parking lots...for football. Anyways, there's a LOT of amusing things to see in the parking lot right next to the stadium including the BYU band before kickoff, a smart car :D, a man dressed up as the Carl's Jr. Star logo, and this one time (as portrayed in the comic) there was a man dressed up as a mattress! :) It was very amusing.
The Under checker cop, Copilot..., Meme, and Joe S.! So we were waiting to get into the stadium and I've seen this man check every truck I've ever been on at every game for secret smugglers under the truck trying to get into the stadium. Yet they ignore the fact that there is a huge truck bed of mysterious catering things that they never check. Now I don't want catering to have to take more time getting into the stadium by this comic, I just want to make a joke! Besides...that man that checks the trucks is such a character...I HAD to draw him.
Kirk, (front row, left-right) Casey, Meme, David L., Aaron, Scott, (back row, right-left) Bonnie, Two Blue zone wait staff, Tamsin, Amanda, Jonathan, and 3 more random wait staff! I heard strange rumors about DS 72 having been pushed back to the WILK by Kirk because it died, so I drew it next to another very strange rumor of fitting 15 people in a truck. Football=fun times!
Mariah, Tamsin, Meme, and Tammy! So we were doing an odd job at the Legacy Tent before the last football game and we couldn't find the light switch for the Tent. We were using our cell phones to look for it when Mariah, who was still in the truck, asks Tamsin if all Captains carried flashlights with us. Well the answer is yes Mariah, yes we do.

Anastacia, Richard B., and Meme! Next year for football, or on a very busy night, get yourself down to the dishroom for some of the best fun and inside jokes catering can afford to give you.

Well, yay for football :)

week 55 on week 56! :D

See! I promised I'd keep doing these, no worries guys. Anyways, I've done this before where I just do the comics a week later because I'm a tad bit bogged down. So this post is for last week and there will be more for this week...I just have to draw them ;D Enjoy~!

Elizabeth (WS) and Meme! Come on, you guys know that when you end up serving a friend, a teacher, or (in this case) a TA you act more particular than usual. Well...I do. Anyways when I did serve my TA is was funny because I tried not to treat him differently from the other people at the table, but he sat where I kept on serving him last at the table X( But he hasn't said anything about it in class and I don't think he will. :D
B2, Chris O., and Meme! So I had this problem the other day with my rack-up and it just reminded me of a time in Sacrament meeting where the speaker said, 'It would be a sad existence if you couldn't walk' and that's when I thought that a handicapped person might get offended...therefore inanimate objects MUST feel the same :D Careful what you say my friends...very careful XD.
Random Guy, Riley, Meme, and a random waitstaff! I was told one day by Allan that I couldn't do my dishes because they were making a movie in the dish room. I bet him hard money that such a thing was ludicrous. If I thought a little into the future I could possibly conceive them making a movie about how to use the new dishwasher, but it didn't dawn on me and my 100 odd-ish dishes that I had to wash. So I pitter patter on down there to the second floor and lo and behold there was a camera crew and a very bright light...touché Allan, touché.
Amy, Daniel, and Meme! Take a look at the accident log sometime. Go ahead, it's worth it.
Meme and a random wait staff! I actually don't know anyone in particular with this much avarice for the Twilight series, so if you do, you can imagine you are in one of my comics...unless you are a boy because that wait staff has a their hair in a bun...unless...

:D I hope you enjoyed my belated comics! :D

Tribute to Truckers

Oh kay guys...so I apologize but if I am going to draw comics this week, it won't be til the end of it. But! I did manage to draw a comic in my econ notes the other day that I thought would be fun to share. See, since the last football game was earlier in the day, the guys on the trucks crew were required to come in earlier than everyone else...like 4:30 early...since some of the truck crew was working the night before, this is what I imagined went down. :) Enjoy~!
Joe S., James W., and Meme!

I also had fun typing the dialogue in paint.net :D Since one purpose in me drawing these cartoons is for me to get better, I'm practicing with the electronic editors so people don't need to read my own personal font...it just takes so much time to do X(

By the way, if anyone sees a red tribeca flashdrive with flames on it and a black stringy thing coming off of it...let me know...for I have misplaced mine and it's the one I use for my drawings...yes...

week 54! :D

:D yay comics! They are so fun to draw. :) I've been thinking of drawing a non-catering related comic...*gasp*...but I can't come up with a storyline. So I thought I'd just tease people with the idea some more until future notice. Don't worry, now that I've started the idea in the clockwork of my mind I'll start day dreaming about it and come up with something.

a random wait staff, Casey, Meme, and Mckell! So I've been trying to find an opportunity to study during break at work and it just doesn't work. But I thought I'd draw a hope inducing comic anyways. Casey, I don't know if you're taking American Heritage but it's a common mid-term to be having so I took my chances ;).
Meme, Tammy, and Melissa W.! :D yay for the captain card game! I hadn't done one in awhile and I wanted to...so there you have it.
Electrician man, Meme, and Nikki! So I was cleaning out the South Kitchen elevator as a Special Project and the technician guy was working on the electricity right next to my mop bucket. I asked him if he wanted me to move it...but then he moved for me so yesh...
Jessica and Meme! Ah...I had a 15 person in building banquet and it was glorious (thank you dearest Elizabeth). Anyways and I was listening to the radio. It wasn't too horrible...at all, but it just reminds me of the times when I've heard some perty intense banquets going on over the radio. Be grateful my friends, be grateful :D.

week 53~!

:D So I think I've come up with a name that amuses me enough for my catering character. Enjoy~!
Meme, Taizsa, and Joe S.! So I don't remember what incited me to do this, but I busted out singing 'Let me see your butter roll' and it was funny...and I did a comic about it...yes.
Slow Truck Driver, very-nice-but-also-slow Einstein's bagel lady, vehicles that are in my way, and Meme! So the other day at the dock this happened. Me being the resourceful person I was I busted out my pen and paper and occupied my time until the cars were out of my way. It was nice...the black van left first...and then the Truck at the same time the white van in front of me left. It was a day for testing my patience to say the least. But the irony was too funny afterwards not to do a comic about it.
Meme! Look guys! It's my first political cartoon! :D Do you know how happy this makes me! You have no idea, it's my dream to be a political cartoonist. :D Anyways, like I said we changed uniforms last week and the fact that our crews now wear at least 3 shades of black every time they work I thought I'd dedicate a comic to it. Now my opinion as to the uniforms; Uniforms are uniforms and I get paid to wear them. I got used to the other uniforms and I'll get used to these too...but I'll avidly be wearing aprons in the future...maybe two...

*sigh* and yes my comics are hard to understand sometimes so I'll explain my political innuendo. Barack Obama's big slogan thing is that he will bring 'change' and as we just 'changed' uniforms I was implying that change isn't always for the best :D
Bonnie and a nice old man! So we were talking about how to open our hotel carts the other day...and this did happen...but I wish I could have come up with something better for the handprint on the hotel cart thing...like a superhero pose or something like that. Alas, Bonnie's distress is awesome as well ;)

So I tried to draw the comics with the new uniforms in them and I've decided that my drawings look retarded when I do. So the old uniforms will live forever on in my drawings. After all, they never will truly leave us, they'll just be at DI :D
