Here's a picture of my weiner dog.  He's really not as unhappy as he looks.

Eeyore is not as unhappy as that dog looks.

That'll teach you to get involved with your community.  What are you doing off the couch?  The Monitors will be by to schedule your re-education trip momentarily.

I found this interview vaguely disturbing. Where's the snark? I can't tell if it's personal growth or overmedication.

Haven't we all seen photos of Onstad?  There were a bunch of them on Dumbrella.

In fact, I have some posted on touamb.com.  You just have to find them.

(hint: there are threads in the archives with links to the photo)

Read an amusing interview with Chris Onstad, Orato:

http://www.orato.com/node/2332

Quote:
"Ominously enough I finished a page of about 10 of my first strips and put it online around 2a.m., September 11, 2001. So as you can imagine, six or seven hours later no one was going to read my comic strip because that was the day the World Trade Centers fell. It was a pretty inauspicious beginning.

About two or three weeks later, we published the site and I publicized it on The Comics Journal, went to different comics community message boards and took out an ad here and there. I didn't try very hard to publish it because I wasn’t enthused about it at the time. At that point I wasn’t trying to make a career of Achewood..."




If it's an interview, where are the questions?

That point makes me think - maybe the lack of snark is just the lack of editing - the effect of getting his whole answer instead of someone taking out just the interesting bits and writing an article around them?

I hope so, otherwise, I am kind of worried about him.
