A Written Voice Cartoonist Erik Andresen by Mari A. Olson NO EXIT, a cartoon published in the Arizona Daily Wildcat, has become a controversial voice among Uni- versity of Arizona students. Since it began two years ago, readers are split between liking and disliking the strip. Erik Andresen, the creator, hopes that everyone likes it, but he knows it ' s impossible because of some re- sponses he has received through the letters to the editor in the Wildcat. It took a long time for Andresen to get himself on the pages of the Wildcat. You could say that it was his perse- verance and or pestiness that finally got him on the car- toon page. Today he is much more secure about his position at the Wildcat. He has been a nxious about the other student cartoonists as competition, like Dim Bulb ' s John Wrede. Andresen doesn ' t agree that NO EXIT has become a voice of the students, especially those that live on cam- pus. Andresen is a resident assistant at Navajo-Pinal Hall. This might be what gives him the advantage of being able to appeal to residence hall students. In one issue, Andresen did a spoof ad called Come to the U of A. It is probably Andresen ' s most popular yet. In the cartoon he poked fun at the Arizona heat and UA President Henry Koffler. It wasn ' t the first time that Andresen poked fun at the university ' s president. I would hope that he is flattered and not insulted. I really don ' t dislike him, said Andresen. I think he is the most realistic president we ' ve had. BORED? COLD? FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT?
