Pleased to Meet You, Hope You Guess My Name

The House Rock Built has a few friends we'd like to introduce you to. That's right, our faithful contributors Dink & Dunk have made the great leap to the celluloid screen, spinning off into comic strip form. Once a week, you'll be treated to a dazzling audiovisual multimedia presentation chronicling their latest misadventures in college football fandom. Their debut strip is here

In an effort to eliminate any need for clunky exposition, here's a quick bio for your two main characters, so as you may get properly acquainted:

Wink Dinkins

  • Alumni Status: Notre Dame, Class of '04, Keenan Hall
  • Fan Since: Birth, possibly even prenatally.
  • Jersey Is a Tribute To: Technically, it's a Matt LoVecchio jersey, going by the date it was purchased. Let's all agree to believe it's a Brady Quinn jersey.
  • Drink of Choice: Gin & Tonic.


Buck Dunkowitz

  • Alumni Status: University of Southern California, Class of '03.
  • Fan Since: Just recently found out that USC has a team.
  • Jersey Is a Tribute To: Reggie Bush, I guess. Too bad he's a huge sellout.
  • Drink of Choice: White Russian.


Put them together in a room, add alcohol, college football, and the occasional dead hooker, and you've got solid comedic gold. So watch for Dink & Dunk every Monday, or you can check the blog directly or subscribe to the XML feed.
