The last comic I made as an employee of the OU Daily and a student of OU was a ridiculous depiction of President David Boren as some kind of butterfly/human hybrid:
Why? I’m pretty sure it was a dare some friends had put me up to, but I do in fact remember the spirit of what I was trying to say.
David Boren had — and still does have — a sort of all-powerful, mythical quality to him. It feels like a big deal, and it is, now that he has announced his retirement at the end of this school year. I could go on and on about the many great things he has done for the university, and the groundwork he has laid for future success, but I’ll just say “thanks” and hope that the next president is as much of a visionary with the measured streak David Boren was.
