Many of the first comics were simply sketches drawn by Randall on the paper he had at hand, (sometimes during a class or a lecture). They then scanned in later, (sometimes much later), and posted on LiveJournal.

Several of these sketched were drawn on checkered paper and they are the one listed here below:
