There is a new book available that contains material several members of the faculty and staff may recognize.”Ninja Verses: Old School” is a collection of the cartoons that ran in the Skiff in the late 1990s.

The thing that makes “Ninja Verses” stand out as more than just a book full of comics is that one of the co-creators gives insight on many of the cartoons and the origin of the strip itself.

P.D. Magnus and Chris Mag Uidhir are the co-creators of “Ninja Verses.” The strip is penned under the name Don Frederic, the middle names of Magnus and Uidhir.

The premise for “Ninja Verses” is rather simple and is drawn so a fifth-grader can easily understand the majority of the strip.

The hero of the comic is named Regular Ninja, who is nothing more than a stick figure; while his opponent for the day is aptly named for whichever distortion his body has, such as Big Head Ninja and Travel Size Ninja, also stick figures.

Most of the time, a ninja has a quick quip toward the other, and then Regular Ninja swiftly kicks the opponent ninja in the head.

There is nothing mind-blowing about the design or text of “Ninja Verses,” but that does not mean it is not enjoyable. I defy anyone to skim through the pages of the book and not laugh out loud at some point.

If you are looking for a comic that makes you think outside of the box, then “Ninja Verses” is definitely not a fit. But if you just want to sit around a have a good chuckle, pick it up.

Although “Ninja Verses” is no longer seen in the Skiff, new cartoons are added every Monday and Thursday to its new home at ninjaverses.com.
