Former Beacon Journal artist Chuck Ayers has created a comic strip, “The Archer,” to help promote Kent State kick returner/wide receiver/running back Dri Archer’s Heisman Trophy candidacy.

Chuck is a 1971 Kent State grad whose national comic strips are "Crankshaft" and "Funky Winkerbean."

Two strips have been published. Game preview comic strips, beginning with Kent’s Thursday (Aug. 29) season opener against Liberty, will be posted on Wednesdays throughout the football season.
