Kris Wilson

Ok so during school we are chosing a comic artis and researching him or her. We then make our own comics every day and must have at least one by the end of the day.
Kris Wilson age 19 loves humerous comics, and sketching. Even though his not in many news papers he is known all over the inter net. He started doing his own comics one day when he was home sick. He then made his own website called comicazi, where he showes all his work. His style is quite simple The style of Cyanide and Happiness is best described as dark, and sometimes offensive. Frequent topics of humor include disabilities, cancer, murder, suicide, violence and ect. The comic does not always have a definite punchline in each strip, or may have several panels of "awkward silence" after (or instead of) the punchline, with characters simply staring at each other.
The lack of characterization is supported by the primitive drawing style. Characters rarely have names, and are usually only distinguishable by the colors of their shirts. This naturally precludes most character-driven humor. The male characters almost always have no hair, which became a joke in itself. The strip also features many pop culture references such as Nike and Star Wars and famous characters such as Lindsay Lohan and Metallica. Jesus also makes numerous appearances, often with the comic containing religious puns.

Guns, Germs, and Steel chapter 9
Question 1:
On page 173 Jared Diamond discusses the domestication of cats and ferrets. As it turns out there is something rather unusual about the domestication of these two species. Why are they so atypical, and how is it exactly that they don’t fit the mold of other domesticated animals? Explain.
A animal social structure is ideal for domestication, because humans can take the dominate roll of hierarchy. Since they instinctively fallow the leader of the pack they can be herd and taught to be domesticated. But members of most solitary territorial animals can't be herded. For example they can't tolerate each other, they don't think of humans as being the dominate leader, and there not submissive. These are very key parts in domesticating a species. For example cats and ferrets were domesticated, but not like dogs were; they were trained to raise food and to kill rodents. Were dogs, sheep, cows, etc. were domesticated for them to be used in large groups, or to be used in hunting circumstances.
