History Webcomic / Enjuhneer

[[http://www.enjuhneer.com/ Enjuhneer]] is a slice of life comedic webcomic drawn by Jenny Blanchard. It is set in the fictional school of Enjuhneer Institute of Technology which is based off of the actual college Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The author attended RPI and so many of the characters and places draw inspiration from the campus itself as well as from the people the author knew while there.

The main character, [[AuthorAvatar Penny]], enters EIT as a freshman and quickly finds herself in the middle of nerd culture. She meets a wide variety of characters, including a non-militant hardcore femenist, an invisible roommate, [[LiveActionRolePlay LARPers]], and a guy who sneaks into the room just to play video games. Overall the cast is about what you'd expect from a nerd culture at a tech school. The comic is generally gag-a-day with occasional multi-strip arcs and a few asides where the author talks about things happening in her real life. The strip updates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Tropes used include:

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Wiredwolf shifts whenever she's angry (and once when she needed a Halloween costume.) Post-PlotRelevantAgeUp, she has wolf ears (and tail) even in human form.
