From Graduate School to Comic Strips: The Axis Journey
Written on
Chapter 1: A Graduate Student's Perspective
Graduate students often have a lot to share about their experiences. Take our character ‘Oliver,’ who humorously attempts to explore the science behind our daily coffee habits and the art of sipping through a straw. It’s amusing to think that there’s actual science tied to our habit of indulging in those overpriced $10 coffee drinks.
This aging cartoonist (yes, I belong to Gen-X) extends a heartfelt, ink-stained “thank you” to all the recent followers on Medium who have been enjoying my comic strip. Your presence means the world to me. I harbor dreams of one day making it into the “funny pages” of newspapers, provided I can get past the avalanche of rejection letters from those pesky Syndicates. Perhaps you all can help create a wave of support for “Axis,” leading it to a rightful place among the established comic strips that have graced our nation’s papers for over four decades (and let’s be real, not all that appears in the “funny pages” is genuinely funny).
In that spirit, I’m incredibly thankful for each of you who have found my comic here on Medium. One day, you’ll be able to say, “I knew that guy when he was just starting out…”
There’s much more on the horizon. My pencils are sharpened, and my ink markers are full. I've got a plethora of stories ready to unfold. As a cartoonist, I draft “Axis” well before I take to my drawing desk. In fact, I’ve envisioned the next three decades of this strip — somewhat. To all my new followers on Medium, welcome to the realm of “Axis!” I look forward to seeing you in the funny pages.
This video, titled "WMA13/01 IAL (Edexcel) P3 January 2022, Q5a,b Numerical Methods, Iteration," dives into the intricacies of numerical methods and iterations, which are essential topics in graduate studies.
Section 1.1: The Artistic Process
Crafting a comic strip involves much more than just drawing. It’s about weaving together narratives and bringing characters to life. With every stroke of the pen, I aim to reflect the quirks of graduate life, coffee culture, and the dreams that drive us.

Section 1.2: Future Aspirations
As I continue to develop “Axis,” I am excited about the stories that lie ahead. Each new comic is a step closer to my dream of seeing it in print. I appreciate all your support along this journey.
