Hi, Chris, and welcome.  I bought a personalized cookbook right before you went on vacation, if that makes you like me any more than you would have just on board merit.

Well I'll be schnookered.  

Jough assures me (via Pedro, since I'm never here*) that Onstad does indeed walk among us.  (Except replace "walk" with "type," if you're going to be all symantical and such.)  

I silently doubted you, Onstad, but I'm glad I waited 'til Jough verified your identity before making an ass of myself.  Now at least I can become an ass with purpose.  

A thousand welcomes, as someone who thoroughly and honestly enjoyed your company on the "old board," I'm glad you decided to join us here.  I hope that we're less burdensome when you don't feel the need to actively monitor each thread.  I know *I* have seen a serious drop in my angst level since I announced my semi-permanent vacation.  Lugging around an iron fist with which to rule is hard work.

*I'm not even here now.

Hi Onstad. Thanks for coming by.

Does this mean we can start asking you scary, in depth questions about your comic strip?

I already asked a long time ago.  The answer was, "No, it's just a comic strip.  It's supposed to be funny.  I wouldn't take that too seriously."

Fortunately the answer arrived in time to prevent me from taking BLISTER's secret advice to poison the water system.

Nah. Specifically, I am hung up on the difference between the characters "lives" and their "acting in the comic strip." This line has been blurred so much I can't keep up anymore. I liked the idea that Ray got all huffy because people kept asking him about the strip in Ray's Place, but now in the blogs it is much less clear what we're reading about, if you will.

I have dedicated far too much brainpower to this.

That's how people sprain their brains, contemplating all this third wall stuff. Whenever that happens to me I medicate mine with substances.

I am of the staunch opinion that we do not hear nearly enough about the third wall these days.

Wow. I just got my old Win98 laptop shipped up from Denver, and this is the first internet access that I have gotten here at my home in the Aleutians.  And I log on, and Onstad is posting on my favorite message board.

Welcome, Chris.  I am happy to see you here.  Please tell Ray that I'm sorry for all the suicide/relationship questions. And I still love your work, even though you have such a vicious bias against Scottish Folds.

Here is a picture of Milan...the one who wrote Ray telling him "fuck you" from all the Scottish Folds of the world.
