As a student at UT, I was first introduced to Berke Breathed through his strip which later morphed into Bloom County. Steve Dallas was the main character that existed in both strips, and he was the stereotype UT frat boy. Everyone thought Steve Dallas was the Frat down the hall in their dorm. The character in the wheel chair first appeared as "Saigon" in Academia Waltz where he tells Kitzi how he was drafted, got his long hair cut off and learned how to make an M16 into a bong. I always thought the Steve Dallas's dog morphed into Opus (they have the similar attitudes).
I am thumbing through my copy of Academia Waltz now and noticing how tied it was to the University of Texas in the late 70s. Lots of timely comments about football, Vietnam Vets, Nuclear power, Frats & Sororities, sex, football (this is texas of course), and making fun of aggies (those folks from Texas A&M).
Brings back good memories.
UT also was the beginning another amazing comic strip called Eyebeam by Sam Hurt. http://www.samhurt.com I think that eyebeam is a cross between Bloom County and Gary Larson's the Far Side. Eyebeam was amazingly popular at UT. Eyebeam has time machines, robots, and Hank the Hullicination (who *actually* won the election for UT class president). Comment from the back of the Eyebeam book "Virtuosic....The best college generated comic strip since Doonesbury or Bloom County."
