Watch Your Head is a collection of comic strips written and illustrated by Cory Thomas. Originally launched in 2006, the work began as a newspaper comic strip syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group before transitioning into an independent webcomic.
The collection chronicles the lives of six urban teenagers attending the fictional Oliver Otis University, a historically black college. Through the perspective of the protagonist, Cory—an academically gifted but socially awkward freshman—the strips explore the complexities of the college experience. The narrative features a diverse cast of characters, including Cory’s friends Omar, a computer-focused recluse; Quincy, a self-proclaimed ladies' man; and Kevin, a white student navigating life on a predominantly black campus. Other recurring characters include Cory’s roommate Jason and his love interest, Robin.
The book provides a humorous and nuanced look at social issues, personal growth, and the typical angst associated with university life. It serves as a compilation of the strip’s early years, capturing the dynamics and evolving relationships of this group of friends as they navigate their demanding academic and social environments.
