The Academia Waltz was Berke Breathed's first cartoon, published daily from 1978 to 1979 in The Daily Texan at The University of Texas at Austin, where he was a student. The strip focused primarily on college life, although it sometimes made references to big news stories of the time (such as the incident at Three Mile Island in 1979).

Oh Aggies doest thou wonder too,
That your faults lie deeper than stinky socks…
And that when your mother gave birth to you…
She suffered from the pox…
.
But though you’ll think me tacky,
I’ll suppose that it’s not rare,
That far beneath your Army khaki
Lies crotchless underwear.
.
So Aggies lest from grace you fall,
We’ll concede this if you let us;
Your shaven domes are heads afterall…
.
Though only ones of lettuce.

Thank you. I love this strip but my eyes hate it.

Glad to help out. This guy’s handwriting and the clarity of this strip are pretty gruesome sometimes. The times when I have a LOT of trouble puzzling it out, I figure other people will too. And I’m a big ol’ OCDer so just can’t let it go till I’ve got it. (Probably have too much time on my hands.)
