This comic is not one bit of a lie. It was a home video that featured the footage I described in the comic, plus some taped-off-TV tractor pull stuff and more home video of a kid playing “Tiny Toon Adventures” with stuffed toys.

The closest I got to an answer was when I showed it to my oldest brother, who said it looked like some guys that were friends of his ex-wife. Still, there’s no accounting for how it ended up in my VHS tape collection next to the Pokemon episodes and Mystery Science Theater stuff. [September 6th, 2013]

Don’t take any of this personally

This was originally going to be comic…#261, I think. Somewhere around there. If I remember correctly, during the process of writing it I decided to try and update my software (Corel Painter X, at the time) and ended up breaking it entirely. The comic was unfinished and by the time I found new software and was ready to draw again, the idea’s time felt like it had passed.

Not sure what happened this particular day but I suppose either a.)the situation came around again or b.)I was desperate for ideas and decided to finally finish this one.

Sidenote: If I don’t act on a comic idea I’ve had within a day or two of having it, I often don’t want to do it anymore. That was “yesterday’s idea”, I often think. Are other writers like that too? [September 6, 2013]
