And so we come to the conclusion of our story! It is with warm hugs and fond farewells that we draw the curtains on the escapades of Jan, Wolf, Phil, Amber and Shiera in their college years.

If you enjoyed reading this comic, please consider purchasing a copy of the book, which collects everything you've read plus bonus material not seen online. Book sales help me out tremendously and enable me to continue drawing more comics like this.

"More comics?" you inquire, with piqued curiosity.

I continued writing stories about the College Catastrophe cast in their lives after college. Living on their own, finding a job, workplace antics... things I've personally experienced and found amusing enough to write about. The sequel is called "Nine to Nine", and I'm hoping to bring it to life as a webcomic!

So, grab a book, so we may begin on adventures anew! :)

no hay que estar triste porque se acaba este capitulo de la historia de este comic,mas bien hay que estar feliz porque empieza otra aventura! no es asi Jan? :D

Jan « 27 ene. 2013

@SpikerDragon95 Very much so! I can't wait to get started on the new comic! :D

insomniacinlv « 27 ene. 2013

My girlfriend loved the personal signed copy of CC she received for Christmas! Thanks and we can't wait for the next installment!

Sasha « 27 ene. 2013

gasp NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÖOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Honestly, I think I'm gonna cry...This was such a good comic! I hate seeing the good ones end, especially since I just started college and liked the advice and situations here....At least tell me that Swords and Sausages has a future still! I love your work, art style, and sense of humor especially...Job well done on this....though I'm a little sad we didn't get to see graduation...oh, and I love you Jan!! -Sasha...

Chris "Foxx" Yost « 27 ene. 2013

Over??? Aw, shit. Now I have nothing to look forward to on Saturdays :(

Jan « 27 ene. 2013

@Sasha Aww, thanks! :) Don't cry; the stories will continue. And there's an idea -- I could draw flashback sequences of their graduation in the new comic ;) Swords and Sausages has a long road ahead of it, too.

@Chris Hopefully, the sequel will fill the Saturday gap once it's under way...

Silly Zealot « 27 ene. 2013

So much to look back to and so much to look forward to as well! @SpikerDragon95: I still feel sad, anyway, but, wait... ¡Madre de Dios! Jan speaks spanish?! I knew he ain't no yankee but, boy, the coincidences that life gives you! Not to be invasive but, what country? @insomniacinlv: Great gift choice! That's the way it's done. :D I must also ask, is the sequel already finished since a long time, like this comic (I hope not!), or is it still in development?

soriac « 27 ene. 2013

sigh so, this era comes to an end, too bad, it has been a nice one (reminded me a bit of my college/university and dorm time, which at least concerning the people I lived with, was the best one). I hope they still see each other in the future, most people will go seperate ways after study :-(

But I've been curious, how much were the guys in CC based on real people? Was there a human counterpart to Wolf, Amber, Tor or Phil with similair behavior? Imagine what that would mean if Wolf would be out there somewhere and he has access to such dangerous substances like diet coke and Menthos??

Irbis « 27 ene. 2013

BWAAAAAAAAAA!!! It's over!!! It was a great comic, funny and entertaining Thank you for your work

Jan « 27 ene. 2013

It's Q and A time!

@Silly Zealot 1. I don't speak Spanish; I got a translation courtesy of Google Translate ;) 2. I'm in Hong Kong. 3. The sequel is in development, but I've got a good collection of stories written already.

@soriac I guess my comic tries to be true to life in a sense (but with added zaniness(tm)), so some characters will go their separate ways, while others will cross paths again. As for human counterparts, yes, some characters are based roughly on people I know. Phil is quite an accurate portrayal of his counterpart, while Wolf is a mixup of an ex-roommate and my own quirkiness.

@Irbis Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Interstate2011 « 27 ene. 2013

That was such a great comic.

Would it be fine if I hugged your characters?

WAtheAnum « 27 ene. 2013

you should end if it is the best moment. i guess jan did a great job with this comic and will open now a new chapter. for other people, like the fans or me, jan still draw S&S, which comes out every saturday and i cant wait to see more from it. Nice could be when i come anytime in this comic X3 heheh W.A. the rouge...XD the idea. well anyways, very well CC, it was and it is still a good comic... closes slowly the book

Merryjest « 27 ene. 2013

Aw, sadness... I\'m gonna miss these guys.

Meiyo « 27 ene. 2013

I had a good time reading this, hope my college years are that wackey XD

Interstate2011 « 27 ene. 2013

I hope Jan and Amber at least get engaged.

hugs those five characters

MOhighschooler « 28 ene. 2013

This is the best webcomic I've seen so far, can't wait for the sequel.

The Gneech « 28 ene. 2013

Alas! I shall miss it.

Moonwolf « 28 ene. 2013

Man thats sad.but at least there will be a Sequel.

i hope it will have lots of Wolf in it,my absolut favorit.He is undoubtly the most funny and zanny guy i can imagine.

Jan « 28 ene. 2013

@WAtheAnum Well, it was hard to find a "best moment" (in the story), because the comic was very much a slice of life, jumping around from here to there without too much continuity. If you meant "best moment" for myself, then yeah... I have new projects I want to get around to, and this is a good time to finish up. :)

@Interstate2011 And they hug you in return!

@Meiyo Hehe, I hope so too! You should compare notes against this comic while you're at it.

@The Gneech I miss Suburban Jungle... I'm hoping to hear more about future SJ projects! :3

@Moonwolf Wolf will definitely be in the sequel. He's kind of hard not to write stories for ;)

Durosuka « 28 ene. 2013

I am gonna miss this commic a lot. the Character of Jan fits me almost perfectly. Heck I'm a programmer. I even made had maths as well, and wrote pan cake once as well. a friend of mine fits Wolf. he is semi self destructive :P

Jessica U. Ingmann « 28 ene. 2013

But... but... I just found this comic before Christmas. ;.;

Well... at least it's not OVER-over. I'm really lookin' forward ta Nine to Nine, when that rolls around. But I'll be sad 'til then. Even though there's still Swords & Sausages. ;.;

WAtheAnum « 28 ene. 2013

@Jan Well i know this feelings to, as an artist myself, i dont only draw, i create characters with background, life and story. Like W.A. and Faly (as sample). They met each other, merry, had "this" moments and finally they will get a child. I love to get forward and not only "CHANGE" (like race changes, gender changes, etc.) coz people dislike to see my chars or something, no. I build forward ^^ so for my self: i cant wait see forward your new art :3

Lavabat « 28 ene. 2013

I have had my book version of College Catastrophe for a while now! I like the filler bits - especially Amber in her dominatrix costume for the Halloween bash! And Wolf's TP mummy costume! :P

Though I do have to wonder if Amber's dominatrix costume was merely a costume...all that leather must have been expensive... >:3

Flare Starfire « 28 ene. 2013

Wait what? Noooo.... I hope you'll make a big announcement if / when the sequel starts up...

Moonwolf « 29 ene. 2013

@Jan: Yeeeeah.thats good to hear.

Wolf is kind of the thing that i missed in S&S.not that the guys there were not wacky already but still..there is always someone to top it off. My Crazy-o-meter goes: <wacky -="" zanny="" -="" crazyy="" -="" wolf=""> ^^ .(and yes ,wacky is the lowest crazyness. ;) ).

Now excuse me while i read the whole archive yet again :D

Jan « 29 ene. 2013

@Lavabat Heh, that came from a story which never ran -- where Jan loses everyone at the shopping mall and has to go around all the shops trying to round them up again. Amber somehow ended up in the leather store.. an awkward moment for both of them ensued... >:3 I thought it was quite funny, but worried about it for some reason. Perhaps I'll bring it back in the sequel.

@Flare Starfire Will do! If you keep up with S&S, there's bound to be an announcement there. Or check in on my Fur Affinity/DeviantArt pages or Twitter.

Jan « 29 ene. 2013

@Durosuka You may be one of the few people who understood the programming jokes I made. I think everyone else just went, "wha...?"

@Jessica Hopefully, it won't be long! Maybe re-reading the archives will cheer you up :)

soriac « 30 ene. 2013

@Jan: the best comics are those the reader can relate himself to with (at least) one character, and I would be surprised if the somewhat geeky college gaduates who can understand your TCS jokes pretty well, would be a minority here :-) For me at least, this was one of several reasons I like this comic, things like in strip#2001-09-29 were pretty funny in my opinion, and according to the comments, I was not alone :-)

Well, at least I'm just putting all the CC strips together in one .cbr and have them all the time with me on my phone, this should help me waiting for the new series :-)

Battlecat « 30 ene. 2013

Where can it be purchased from?

Jan « 30 ene. 2013

@Battlecat Right here on this website -- click the "Book" link up top! http://www.tigerknight.com/cc/book

Blackmane « 30 ene. 2013

Awww...I have been reading this for well over a year and I have to say I love the artwork, love the story and thoroughly enjoyed the characters you created. I laughed at a lot of the situations they got into - a lot were like my own experiences (except they didn't end up getting into model rocket science like I did lol. Explosives aren't as much fun as midair explosions!) I don't usually bother with comments but I was saddened so much to see CC end that I just had to say thanks. Thank you Jan for a wonderful comic. I will keep reading s&s to keep enjoying your art.

Vlad Drago « 1 feb. 2013

Aww, I'm sad to see this go, however I cannot wait for their return. Umm, quick question, have you ever thought of selling the bookmarks seperately my little nephew decided to..... play with mine.

Jan « 1 feb. 2013

@Blackmane Yay, model rockets! Those are fun, if you don't mind losing one in the trees every once in a while ;) All of mine went into the trees... at least they didn't set the forest alight!

@Vlad Drago Kids love bookmarks, don't they? XD Anyhoo, I can do that. I'll have it set up on Monday.

Logan10701 « 1 feb. 2013

Hate to see such a good comic come to an end. I can't wait to hear wolf's story. His story sounds exciting. I imagine him ending up as a McDonalds Manager...

Mike H « 5 feb. 2013

It was excellent, well done indeed. :D

Ushuaia « 7 feb. 2013

OMG I love this comic. I would love to see more of it. Your humor is well done and the drawing is excellent. I would like to see more color panels. Wolf will either work for Mc Donalds or NASA lol.

Furry Wolf « 10 feb. 2013

My attempt to draw wolf... I'm sorry for butchering your charachter. (I think i just spelled charachter wrong...)

Furry Wolf « 15 feb. 2013

wow... thank you tear forms I am reeeeeaaally exited to start a comic... only problem is... i dont know where or how to do it... oh! I almost forgot! my first series will be dedicated or whatever you call it to you... :) (first attempt in making emoticons in a while)

Wolffang333 « 16 feb. 2013

nnnnnnnnoooooooooo sigh I just read all of your comics in less than 24 hours and now its over sigh well I guess it was bound to happen I'll have to check out that book though. Thank you so so much for entertaining all of us for so long!

dracone « 17 feb. 2013

will there be a follow up with a whole new cast at same college?

Jan « 18 feb. 2013

@dracone Honestly, I've run out of college stories.. at least for a 'normal' college. If I did a strip about art school, I think that will be too niche. Besides, I think we all want to see these characters move on in their lives ;)

Mobyulus « 22 feb. 2013

I only caught this recently. While fun to be able to read years of comics in the span of a few hours, it's sad when a good thing comes to an end. Really looking forward to the future of S&S and whatever other comics may come. Keep it up Jan.

Kinyeon « 10 mar. 2013

i was able to read it all in one sitting, and i'm so hyped! i really can't wait to see more!! :3

Paul Hasyn « 15 mar. 2013

Just finished reading it all, and it was one of the best comics i've read, well done. and it's great to know there will be more of them! ^^

« 23 mar. 2013

Ths Ended on my Birthday, and I never even knew it till today, how could you take it away before I even knew about it on my Birthday of all days! ... also I think I've just spent an hour reading this thing through. My eyes, they bleed!

I enjoyed it a lot, though guess I'll have to enjoy Swords and Sausages twice as much now. :P

« 24 mar. 2013

I just had a thought, what would the grade school, Junior High/Middle School, High school adventures of the main cast's theoretical kids be like. Or we could see their Shenanigans before they came to the college and met each other, personally I think the adventures of their kids would be more amusing, it could be a companion comic for "Nine to Nine". Of course its just a thought and if you decide to do so, Jan, it might be amusing.

Interstate2011 « 27 mar. 2013

gives another hug to Shiera the Lioness

Kane Shadow Wolf « 7 abr. 2013

hey this is a great comic and I just bought the book and bookmarks. Looking forward to the sequel and to getting my purchase :3
