[[11:45]] is a little robot cartoon in the [[Tartan]].

==History==

The first incarnation of 11:45, seen here, was drawn by [[Ed]] in the [[CMU]] [[Math/Physics Lounge]]. Someone had asked him the time and he correctly guessed 11:45. Excited, he wrote it on the whiteboard. Later he started doodling and the doodle became a robot.

[[jcreed]] saw this drawing and put it on his blog. In time, jcreed rose to the position of Comics Editor of the [[Tartan]], and [[Ed]] offered to draw an 11:45 comic for him. Thus it came to pass that, for two and a half years, Ed drew 11:45. 

Upon his graduation, [[Ed]] passed the comic on to [[lea]], who had created a substantial amount of 11:45 fan art, including a plush toy with red, light-up eyes. She has been drawing the comic ever since, whenever her busy life as an architecture student permits.

==Endorsements==

"11:45 is the only consistently worthwhile thing in the [[Tartan]]." --Kenn Hamm

"11:45 is my favorite comic!" --Another [[Tartan]] cartoonist at a Tartan cartoon staff meeting. It made the other cartoonists very sad.
