If you’re a fan of the Northern Star’s comic strip, “The Punchline is Corn,” you’ve got a lot to look forward to after spring break.

The Northern Star has been hard at work with strip artist Mike Dean to compile a collection of nearly 200 comics Dean has done.

The book will also include exclusive content that’s so top secret I’m not even allowed to think about it.

But what I can tell you is this collection of Dean’s work is a must-have for any NIU student, faculty and staff member. Nothing captures NIU life better than his comic.

I’m nothing short of thrilled to officially announce, “The Punchline is Corn: Simply A Maize-ing,” coming soon to a cornfield near you.
