What's this comic
about, anyway?
Talking,
mostly. The comic will grow in bizarre ways, but for now,
it's talking. More specifically, it's what could be termed
as 'pseudointellectual banter' - the central theme of the
comic being that what they discuss might be marginally thought
provoking. And it might even accomplish being funny, too ..
but that's a long shot.
Are these characters ever going to do anything?
Not while they
are sprites, no. Mainly just move around and talk amongst
each other in an expansionless, featureless blank of a world.
Fortunately, this limbo doesn't bother them too terribly much.
Why do they talk so much?
Well, because
that's really the only way they can interact right now. Static
and mostly unable to move, uneditable sprites like mine live
a harsh life on camera. Fortunately, their spritehood is limited
to their presence in the comic. Offscreen, they have wild,
diverse, and interesting lives. Really.
I want to donate money to you, because I'm a terrible judge
of character.
Please - there
are people in my featured webcomics list that need the money.
And they ask for it, too. Give it to them - they actually
draw their comics.
Is this always going to be a sprite comic?
The second
it doesn't have to be a sprite comic, it will evolve. It will
become more powerful than you could have possibly imagined.
How do you update the comic every day?
How could I
not? The comic may be cheap, but it makes up for it by being
easy to produce. So if the comic stops being produced on a
daily basis, I'm lazy or dead.
Are those your Ragnarok characters?
Nope. These
altered versions of Ragnarok characters were shamelessly and
brazenly stolen off a web site that had in turn stolen them
from whatever company makes Ragnarok. Myself, I didn't manage
to play Ragnarok for more than 3 hours.
Is this going to become a gaming comic?
TEH XOBX SI
HYOOOOG LOLOL
Is this going to become a political comic?
I tell you
what - James Buchanan is the worst president the country has
ever had, and that's all there is to it.
Well, what kind of comic is left?
How about comics
where roommates are furries who all go to the same school
and work at the same place who are transported to a fantasy
dimension where they sit around and play videogames and make
sarcastic quips?
Are you making fun of 'How Not To Run A Comic'?
I will never
mock a kindly informative series that gives me comics like
this one, this
one, this
one, this
one, this
one, this
one, this
one, this
one, and
this one, because, let's face it - by trying to be informative,
it turned into a running satire of webcomics, and that's awesome.
What's the most awesome part about doing a comic?
Autokeen. For
serious. And, of course, the legions of fawning admirers,
who all inexplicably seem to be nubile young college girls
with degrees in hot oil reflexology massage; it seems the
comic appeals to a very, very specific demographic.
What's the least awesome part about doing a comic?
I haven't been doing it for
very long, but I'm all but assured that it's how something
fun can immediately become arduous the second you put a deadline
on it.
Can your comic ever live up to the majesty that is Boston
and Shaun?
THE Boston
and Shaun? What, are you kidding me? Of course not.
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
I always liked
the concept of being able to control the weather, but now
I'll just settle for the ability to copy people's talents
just by touching them. The day I get that super power, I'll
be travelling to some comic conventions and shaking lots of
hands at the booths.
