Hurricane Rita vs. Kid Queso

Contrary to evacuation warnings and general fleeing of his fellow Rice University classmates, this courageous comic reader is staying on in Houston, in the stairwell of his dorm, to confront the vicious infrared monster that is hurricane rita (see pic at left).

The hurricane, which is supposed to hit sometime on Saturday morning, currently has winds that are reported at 175 mph. Which is a lot. Kid Queso reports his current emotional state as "bored." And complains that there is nothing to do in an evacuated university, with classes canceled.

As events unfold, he will attempt to keep us posted with eyewitness accounts, and shocking photographs of the action.

Any specific looting requests should be submitted now.
