@achewood I shouldn't have to tell people not to hit me on the head nearly so often as I do.

Poll

Do you think of Onstad as a fat person?

Yes, with a paunch of at least Ray-esque proportions.

No, the man who posts my comic is svelte as the dickens.
- 3 (27.3%)
This speculation is cruel and irrelevant to his genius.

Also I'm a Canadian.


Whereabouts?  Care to add yourself to the map?  There are only two of us north of the border, currently.

Wasn't he at the Dumbrella booth at an SPX-esque event early in the strip's life? I'm sure one of the Dumbrellites saw him.

He was at APE maybe three years ago.  I met him.  He's not a fat dude.


So then this thread is closed.

You guys have got me going through my head now trying to figure out which creative people I would want to meet: Pratchett yeah, Gaiman maybe, Ellison probably not (first three that came to mind, feel free to point out how pathetically stereotypical this makes me).

I saw Pratchett speak for about an hour at a signing. He told us to get lives. Then explained that he and Gaiman sometimes try to pass messages to each other via fans as their tours often follow each other.

Kids in the Hall!  

Listen to their commentary or read an article about them (to care enough to do which now apparently you have to be a mouth-breathing cretin,) and you will discover that they not only worked as a six man, democratic committee, but turned out fuck*ng awesome work, better even than a cathedral full of typesetters printing Korans.

Also I'm a Canadian ("Ah HA!  Pompous bitch!")  and aside from having to hold it down for KITH I live with proof that all sorts of things apart from Art and Literature work better when you've got lots of people in on 'em.  Like health care.  But comics?  What a fascinating proposition! Everyone on this massage board (except the indignant dude of gravity who can't seem to spell, and will likely post a retaliation centred on the word 'massage',) has so far exhibited a concentration of wit far above what you'd expect from a couple dozen randomly selected people.  The Concrete/Concrete joke?  Priceless!  The ability to remember obscure things like Ranier Beer and 'Shaddup You'? That shows real dedication to the medium!  

Why not channel some of the free hours spent bickering into putting together an experimental little comic?  It's not like you need to be a fine arts grad, look at Onstad!  (Mind you it's probably his gelatinous, ogre-like mitts that impede his drawing.)

What I'm saying is there could be say three stock characters to begin with, and people could either try narrative-style sequences or random gags, all open to constructive criticism from other 'board' members, with the only rule that no-one but the author could edit or withdraw a comic.  And maybe that everything's submitted in some standardized file format.  And whoever puts it together gets referred to as "his eminence, the grand vizier."

Of course I am a computer retard and have no idea how to get something like that up and running.  But surely someone's got some ideas.

P.S.  How many thirteen-year olds use this site, couldn't we just spell "fuck*ng" properly?  It's not like they don't know what the word is that's supposed to be there.  Spelling it "fuck*ng" is like saying ess-ee-ex in front of kids like they're dogs.


yer meking Andaloosia and Side-shoe look bad. You should pretend to be Amerikaen.

Don't look at me about the fuck*ng. That's Jough, all the way. That fuck*ng guy.

Also, does this thread still need to be open? My sources are saying no.

Yeah, close it.  It's no fun any more.  

Enjoy yourselves, achewood message board.  I'm sorry I upset the fatter reactionaries among yas.  You two Canadians, you'll just have to hold it down.

One last thing.  You are all grown-ups.  And most of you are probably not disabled.  So stop disappointing your parents and go outside.
