Author(s) Maritza Campos-Rebolledo Website http://crfh.net/ Current status / schedule Monday, Wednesday, Friday Launch date January 1, 1999 [1] Genre(s) Humor, Fantasy College Roomies from Hell!!! or CRFH!!! as it is known to fans, is a webcomic strip by Maritza Campos-Rebolledo. Running since January 1, 1999 and featuring a new comic strip every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (theoretically - in practice it's about once a week), College Roomies from Hell!!! depicts the lives of six college students attending an unnamed college somewhere in the United States. Forced out of their dormitory by a gas leak explosion, Mike Green, David Jones, Roger Pepitone, Marsha Hart, Margaret Browning, and April Sommers now live in an apartment building near their college and suffer natural, supernatural, and academic indignities and drama in this alternately humorous and dark serial comic strip.
College Roomies from Hell!!! was formerly hosted by Keenspot. Its author, Maritza Campos-Rebolledo, is a resident of Yucatán state, Mexico, and actively participates on the comic's message boards. The comic is part of the Create a Comic Project.[1]

Characters
Main article: List of characters from College Roomies from Hell!!!Funky horror
Funky horror is a meme within this webcomic, its audience and its forum. The phrase "The horror! The funky horror!" is one of the catchphrases in the comic - adapted from the last lines of Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now: "The horror... the horror...", which in turn was adapted from Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. "Funky Horror" itself is both a roller coaster within the plot and a space station within a what-if plot.
