CARICATURE OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA BROTHER NAMED EVOLUTION


My wife and I were traveling together on a Manhattan bound bound A Express train outta Queens that day in joyful anticipation. My wife loves driving more than subway riding, so I advised her to bring a magazine along as I would be "working" for a portion of our journey. I took out my sketchbook and randomly started sketching some passengers, which sparked the interest of a young man in the next seat. He was a fan of cartooning, and in no time I began drawing his mug, much to his delight. I found out he was visiting NYC from school, where he was a member of a fraternity, Alpa Phi Aloha. Alpha has the distinction of being The first Back College fraternity. His frat name was Evolution, which undoubtedly eluded to his er..Simeon like appearance...line names are nit picked, but GIVEN to a pledgee by his big brothers, and have a tendency to stick. I couldn't help but feel a slight swing if jealousy as I too, wanted to pledge Alpha in my college days, but that's another story.

UNAPOLOGETIC CALL TO ACTION

ATTENTION ALL FRATERNITY AND SORORITY MEMBERS...ELGIN SUBWAYSURFER BOLLI G DRAWS AT SMOKERS, FUNDRAISERS AND OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS!
