If you’re reading this now and haven’t seen Chowdah’s fifth anniversary show, you’re unfortunately too late. The show closed Saturday, so given the time constraints, this review won’t be able to convince you whether to buy a ticket. […]

Today, Saturday Morning Cartoons brings you refreshingly apolitical humor.  In fact, today’s offering hits quite close to home for the co-ed set.  Enjoy!   “Room, board, books, and tuition – I draw the line at corkage fees.” By Danny Shanahan from The New Yorker

There’s nothing like a Saturday morning trad to get your weekend off right.  Wrap up in your comforter and scroll down for a smattering of cartoons from this week – Enjoy!   “I’m nothing, and yet I’m all I can think about.” By William Hamilton from The New Yorker

Another dreary Saturday morning in November brings you another cheerful edition of Saturday morning cartoons – this time in bigger and more legible font! Enjoy!     “I love just hanging out in my favorite chair.” By Edward Koren from The New Yorker

So this drizzly November morning, Bwog offers a spread of cartoons to […]

Whether it was Columbia Blue balls from the window to the wall or […]

Yeah, we’re not even gonna touch this one…

Frustrated with the slow progress of the Manhattanville expansion, Columbia instead decided to dedicate its resources towards constructing a magical Bridge to Terebithia, and annex a SUNY that doesn’t exist. Hurrah! Or maybe somebody has a plaque maker, a sense of humor and a little too much time on his/her hands. Thanks to Jonathan Bell for […]
