I'm pretty sure this is the first strip we've ever done that was completely without Little Scottie, yet another sign of how we're trying to evolve the comic. Our (as far as we know) fictitious fraternity, Delta Omega Gamma (DOG), was borne out of a comic we did last year about Michael Vick. Incidentally, it was also "Fratty's" first appearance, and Todd's made him much more attractive since then.

By the way, as you will see, our core characters from last year do have actual names that we will be using more this year. In Fratty's case it's Ben.
