- 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.
The next strip, appearing in toi
day's Battalion will start the riot-
