‘Commando and the ■j i Cassh Origi, • • v'l ' ivl rporal’ SI- I (■ • i I i' . By BOB P|aCE - Meet the man behind “Comman- ^ do and the Corporal.” , Emmett Trant, A&M’s answer to f A1 Capp, Chester Gould, anc} Ham Fisher all rolled up in one, moyes K into his third installment today; of The Battalion’s own comic strip. A senior architecture major from Bryan, Trant is a staff car toonist for the Batt. He has done cartoon work on all of-the major college student publications. The idea for the weekly strip, “Commando and the Corporal,” came^from the fertile mind of. Bill Billingsley, Battalion co - editor. The main characters of the panel are Commando Cassidy andbCor- poral Angus McSnort. « Cassidy, a vet business niajor from Hduston is the sly, wily type who constantly; preys on the good natured McSnort. ? Angus, art A.H. major from the thriving metropolis of Rocky Forks, Texas, proves the fall _ guy for Capsidy’s many schemes. It seems that McSnort is the easy going son of an extremely belligerant, feuding, fighting, and fussing family from the Forks. Angus has been the black sheep of the clan because of his refusal to take part in the ..family feud against humanity in general. In an attempt to cure him of this dread malady, eld- f er McSnort sends his, son to j A&M. When Cassidy finds Angus he sees a chance to work him as a stooge for his many endeavors, both curricular arid otherwise. Mc Snort, with his easy-going manner and his seeming stupidity, looms as the proverbial bird’s nest on the ground for the ever-scheming Cas- si< i£ This duo appears to be the per fect affinity between the scheming •nki|'the gullible. The first two panels that have some out so far have merely introduced ihe char<i acters to the reacers.
