| Introduction | I'm not really a computer person, so this is my attempt to make a webcomic using my rudimentary skills in MS Paint. Enjoy. |

| Interests | My favorite comics are xkcd and Fred Basset. I have a theory about Fred Basset, well actually two: There is either a secret fourth panel know only by the Brits that contains the punchline, or (more likely) Fred Basset is a post-modern commentary on implied humor--namely that the format of a comic strip automatically calls for a laugh or two, and the author doesn't even need to do anything. (These are the only two reasons that Fred Basset can have lasted as long as it has--it has never, ever been funny.) I read lots of other comics though. I was reading a Pearls Before Swine anthology today, and Pastis makes references to other comics. I really hope that all of the writers for the funnies pages get together and read eachother's comics. I bet they have a secret society, but instead of wearing hoods, they all wear Groucho Marx glasses. |
