UNIVERSITY CARTOONS

Art, Comics April 16, 2017

This post concludes the collection of cartoons I contributed to U: magazine whilst working at the University of Technology, Sydney. This, plus the three previous cartoon posts, constitute an online gallery of my single panel satirical work.

Enrolment Process-© 2006 Dr. Michael Hill   The year the planned introduction of online enrolment didn’t work out led to form filling and long queues.

Fitness training-© 2005 Dr. Michael Hill    New students tended to start their studies with enormous optimism and for some even included the gym.

On with studies-© 2004 Dr. Michael Hill    Double degrees came into vogue with surprising combinations.

Minister’s Visit-© 2005 Dr. Michael Hill    Political activism was especially popular when the Education Minister visited campus.

Club activities-© 2005 Dr. Michael Hill    Anime societies and cosplay competitions thrived. Not all Sydney universities had  rock-climbing clubs say, but all five had Anime Clubs.

Sporting clubs-© 2004 Dr. Michael Hill    Yes, this really took place, despite the seeming cruelty.

Student Administration-© 2006 Dr. Michael Hill    Another actual incident when staff who worked in a room with a view of a parking station were allocated photographs of city traffic to brighten up their room.

Student canteen-© 2006 Dr. Michael Hill    A wonderfully esoteric Indonesian cafe in the Staff/Student cafeteria allowed the mixing and matching of dishes.
