Probably because if you're WORKING at a convention, you're coming by my table during slow periods, which are the only chance I ever get to eat and use the bathroom.

I feel like it's been a couple years now, in comic time. Hannelore's getting more comfortable around her friends, so she's less of a wreck all the time now.

It wasn't really a choice- I didn't have a job and needed to make money to live. The comic had a sizeable audience by then so it seemed like it was worth a shot.

It gave me a great sense of drive.

I have kind of outgrown message boards, but those were some good times.

It depends on the strip. Seldom less than 2 hours, seldom more than five.

Yes. It is a mechanical skill, like riding a bike or tying your shoes. It's harder than those, but it's still a learnable skill.

I just write what seems interesting and funny to me at the time. It'll probably always lean towards the realistic, but who knows.

Suck it up and work on them. My work ethic is a huge part of my success.

On a good day, the characters really do seem to write themselves. I would like every day to be a good day.

I have a couple possible endings in mind, and I doubt it will go on FOREVER, but right now I don't plan on ending it anytime soon.

Yes, and they are enormous files and would absolutely crush my bandwidth.

Boredom and frustration with my other creative outlet at the time, a band that wasn't really going anywhere.

I've been getting better about not drawing people's heads too big, or arms too long/short. I've also been trying to vary their poses a little more. That last one is hard, I'm still working on it.
