More Stilwell frogs -- the first "Stilwell"

Continuing the series of digitally restored comics published in The Cauldron, Cleveland State University's student newspaper, 1971-73. According to my records, this was the first in the Stilwell series to appear in the paper. There were a number of them dealing with dysfunctional social situations. The joke in this one was not original. It was shamelessly stolen from banter by Paul Stookey in the "Peter, Paul & Mary In Concert" double album, circa 1964. Stookey's comedy narrative was a stock feature of the famous folk group's concerts. The strip ran on April 20, 1971. I would soon discover that there was a wealth of original material happening all around me on campus.
