This began as a doodle done while working on my FAFSA (Federal
Application for Financial Student Aid) online. It took all night
for me and my family to puzzle through the online form and get it working
properly, hence the rather odd drawing of manga-me warding off the FAFSA
demon. When I volunteered to do some cartoons and drawings for the
Senior Issue of the newspaper (I was in Journalism for both my Junior and
Senior years), I remembered this image. The Mane Report was printed
using only one color of ink, so I had to do all the Mane Report cartoons
simple black and white; they'd also be shrunk quite a bit, so I wasn't
too worried about fine detail.
