Watch Your Head Cory Thomas

“This strip is the culmination of a life’s worth of dreams. I’m using the probability to entertain, enlighten, and be the trembly voice of the socially awkward everywhere.” –Cory Thomas

An edgy and nuanced strip–chronicling the demanding but reflective lives of six urban teens at Oliver Otis University.

Cory Thomas’s Watch Your Head is staged through the eyes of Cory, an academically brilliant but socially inept college student. His friends at Otis U. include Omar, a recluse who seems umbilically tied to his computer; Quincy, Omar’s friend (and hence Cory’s friend by default); and Kevin, who, as both a Canadian and one of the few whites on a predominantly black campus, feels like a foreigner times two. Robin, the object of Cory’s crush, and Jason, Cory’s roommate and polar opposite, round out the cast.

Through this diverse group, Thomas provides a raw critique on current social issues while utterly relating the amusements, angst, and growth that come with the college experience.

Watch Your Head presently appears in papers stretching from New York, Washington, D.C., and Boston to Chicago, Dallas, and St. Petersburg. This inaugural book providing collects more than 40 weeks of strips.

Watch Your Head Book
By K. James
I was exhaustively pleased with this anthology of Cory Thomas’ syndicated comic strips. For a while I wanted to buy the compilation of WYH, but only not long back have I been capable to do so. And I have not been disappointed at all, as page to page has held me either cracking up or shaking my head in hilarity. I knew of Mr. Thomas’ natural abilities and qualities as an illustrator for Howard University’s newspaper, The Hilltop. It means a lot to me that he’s making strides in the tough cartoon/comic strip industry. I wish him and his craft the best, and I hope that he’ll convince many, numerous others to “watch their heads,” too, no pun intended.
