Bus trip down memory lane

Chuck Ayers

It’s been 44 years but former BJ artist Chuck Ayers’ Kent State campus bus cartoon is just as funny as the day it was published.

The Kent State University Alumni Association web site dug it up again with this comment:

“Happy FLASHback Friday! Hopefully this 1971 cartoon by alumnus Chuck Ayers puts a smile on your face."

Reportedly Kent State owned the bus used in the “The Graduate.” So students put their butts where Dustin Hoffman's had been.

Former KSU Campus Bus Driver Tom Dowdy (Campus Loop, Stow-Kent, Ravenna and charters) called it “the best part-time job that I ever had. I still have my Ralph Kramden KSU Bus Service shirt!”
