Sam & Joe / White Noise

-

Now that March is coming to an end, we’ll post Sam and Joe searching for some soothing white noise along with a little promotion that connects WONC FM 89.1, the commercial-free Radio Voice of North Central College.

“Make sure to tune into WONC FM89 at 89.1,” emailed Sam & Joe’s creator Jared Moser, who is also music director for WONC 89.1 at North Central College. 
 
Visit WONC 89.1 at wonc.org or listen live, (Find the “Listen Live” link on the homepage.) and download the iHeart Radio app. 
 
Consider catching noon-1PM lunchtime “second helpings” hour, where WONC plays back-to-back songs by your favorite artists.
 
Then from 10PM to midnight a vintage playlist is featured with the best of the psychedelic era. 
 
Cheers to springtime at WONC as we look toward continuing a great year of playing songs from the classics to the cutting edge.
Sam & Joe’s Brief Bio

“Sam & Joe” is a comic strip featuring a couple of colorful characters created by Jared Moser. Look for Moser’s silliness, frame by frame, again to be featured almost monthly online at www.positivelynaperville.com.

Find the comic strip printed in the monthly publication, too.

Cartoonist Moser, hailing from Wheeling, Illinois, attends North Central College. Now a junior, Moser recently changed his major to entrepreneurship, with minors in journalism and media communications and animation. He plays volleyball and golf for North Central, resulting in receiving ACVA national player of the week, and conference freshman of the year for volleyball. The third-year student added that he is now the head music director for WONC 89.1, North Central’s award-winning radio station.

After a chance meeting in February 2020 at the North Central College WONC Radio Station (89.1 FM Pure Rock), Moser submitted samples of his work. In March 2020, Positively Naperville’s publisher began running his comics featuring a couple of his buddies, Sam and Joe. 

Moser says “Sam & Joe” started off “as a doodle in a middle school note book, and with the influences of Calvin & Hobbes, and Big Nate,” the teenage “best friends” grew into the bickering sidekicks they are today.

Originally created in black and white, Moser depicts Sam & Joe reacting to seasonal activities and special holidays. During the summer of 2020, Moser turned his comic strip into living color.
