Growing up in his home town of Tempe, Arizona, there were three things that Tony Carrillo loved dearly – drawing, comedy and knife throwing.
Over the years, Carrillo made several unfortunate attempts to combine his three loves into one… with tragic results. Finally, Carrillo decided that two out of three ain’t bad. So he started his comic strip F Minus during his sophomore year at Arizona State University where he was pursuing a B.F.A. in drawing. The strip was published every weekday in The State Press, an independent daily newspaper at ASU. Over the next two years, the strip quickly grew in popularity on campus.
In the fall of 2004, Carrillo entered F Minus in the inaugural "mtvU Strips" contest, an online competition searching for the best college comic strip. The contest consisted of online voting (in which nearly 200,000 votes were cast), and was also judged by comic artists Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, and David Rees, creator of Get Your War On. F Minus was chosen as the winner, and Tony Carrillo was awarded a development deal with United Media.
