The Adventures of Toasterboy
The up-and-coming webcomic The Adventures of Toasterboy (TAOT, often refered to as simply "Toasterboy") is the product of Bradley University student Sean Cairns. It was originaly designed to be his answer to the consistent boredom that comes with being a colleg studend who doesn't drink or do drugs, and is quicly evolving to be a new obsession for his imagination, and a source of excitement for his friends (who constantly push him to write his comics faster and faster, as they are an impatient lot).
Toasterboy is the story of 3 college roomates and their various adventures. While many of them at least have basis in real life, many of them are complete exagerations and outright lies. Most notably is the upcoming "Denied" Storyline, detailing Keane's denail for a credit card application.
