F Minus

By Tony Carrillo

"F Minus" is a profoundly funny comic strip that was chosen by more than 200,000 college students as the winner of the MTV U Strips contest. Providing daily hilarity since May 2005, "F Minus" is a strip short on life lessons, precious moments, and pearls of wisdom. Instead, it tackles life's serious issues, pins them to the ground, and steals their lunch money. Then it feels a little bit guilty and gives some of it back.

Browse through "F Minus" books, including "This Can't Be Legal: An F Minus Collection" on creator Tony Carrillo's online bookstore.

About Tony Carrillo

Tony Carrillo was born, raised, and seasoned in America's roasting pan, Arizona. He grew up drawing cacti and scorpions, dreaming of one day becoming a great cartoonist. Over the years, Carrillo worked as a pizza cook, website designer, dancing costumed character, waiter, insurance drone, portrait artist, custom framer, camel ride attendant at the zoo, and the guy at the airport who waves orange wands at the planes. Yet nothing seemed to fit.

Finally, Carrillo got his first job as a cartoonist. After years of studying fine art and classical drawing, Carrillo returned to the simple yet stupid doodles that used to get him in trouble in the third grade. His creation "F Minus" ran in his college paper, The State Press, during his final four semesters at Arizona State University.

In December 2004, "F Minus" was named the winner of the mtvU Strips contest, chosen by judges Scott Adams of "Dilbert" and David Rees of "Get Your War On" as well as more than 200,000 online voters. Carrillo received a development deal with United Feature Syndicate. On April 17, 2006, "F Minus" began worldwide syndication. In that first year and again in 2009 and 2013, "F Minus" was nominated for a National Cartoonist Society division award for Best Newspaper Panel. Two "F Minus" books are available: "F Minus" and "F Minus: This Can't Be Legal."

Carrillo lives with his family in Long Beach, California, and dreams of one day becoming a great cartoonist.
