About PIC

What is PIC?

Points in Case is a college humor publication featuring smart, savvy and irreverent comedy. Our articles are thoroughly edited and completely uncensored, because anything less would be unprofessional and anything more would be too civilized.

Our Story

Points in Case began in September 1999 as a college humor column posted in the dorm bathrooms of Emory University. From there, it became an email column sent out monthly and passed around the nation during the fervent forwarding days of the late 90's. In December 2000, the issues of the original Points in Case column were posted online, along with the dumb-funniest quotes submitted by college students everywhere. In May 2003, the first five columnists began writing for the site.

Today, Points in Case is the largest online college publication, showcasing the best of college life in our articles, columns, blogs and quotes to over half a million readers a month. But we couldn't have done it without super-talented comedy writers and enthusiastic commenters and contributors like you.

Our number one goal at Points in Case is to make you laugh. If that also means curing your boredom, helping you procrastinate, or spurring your imagination, then so be it. You'll find that we are mostly comedic, often sarcastic, and always strangely insightful or inexplicably delightful. Welcome to PIC, we hope you enjoy your stay and join us as a member!
