It’s Homecoming Game Day at Benedictine.
For Jake, Ryan, and Maggie, that means coolers and chairs, tailgates and football, familiar faces and the strange feeling that a college tradition can somehow make an ordinary Saturday feel bigger than itself.
Because eventually, you realize the game is only part of the reason you came.
ROOK is a daily original college newspaper comic about friendship, faith, growing up, and the odd little places where life becomes meaningful. Set in and around Benedictine College and Atchison, ROOK follows a recurring cast through classes, sports, traditions, faith, friendships, coffee, adventures, and the everyday absurdities of college life.
A new ROOK strip appears every day at noon CST.
If you enjoy ROOK, a subscription to Chesterton Radio helps us keep original projects like this going. We’re also looking for ROOK sponsors who would like to help support a daily independent college comic.
And when you’re finished with the strip, leave the door open and join us at the Chesterton Radio live stream for more music, radio drama, conversation, and the unexpected.
Different adventures. Same journey.
