More like it was the first day we, the general public, could grab him by the throat and wring out the humor that you so generously stuff him with for ourselves.
Metaphorically speaking.
Any tips you'd give to someone considering working on their own webcomic? (Such as I?)

If it's something you really want to do, don't give up. If you are starting from scratch, it take most comics about a year to find its audience. |

If (Member X) were to make a webcomic, would you advertise it on your site?

Anyone can advertise in their signiture here on the forum or through the project wonderful ad slots on the main site. The button ads usually go for 20 to 30 cents a day. |

What program to you use to draw the comics? Do you draw them by hand, then scan them in and color them in a program? It looks a bit like Flash...

I've had a few different processes over the years. Currently the comics are drawn in Flash and colored in Photoshop. It's funny how some people ask me if I draw them by hand or do I use a computer... well I draw them by hand with a computer. I just don't have to wait anymore for the ink to dry so that I can scan it. |

Do you have a touchpad that allows you to draw as with a pen? Those seem to be popular among web cartoonists... |

While we know the eyebrows and mouth are more an artistic style than anything else do you actually imagine by some physics defying (not that Biff isn't physics defying already) act of nature, they really are that long and off his face within the reality of the comic? Or does he just look like a normal guy as far as he's aware?
I can't remember whether his eyebrows have somehow been affected in a comic due to their longness though, but if they have then I guess that means yes they really are like that for him...

Haha, of course. Forgot that one. Oh well, he seemed to forgive helicopters enough to use one as a lawn mower later on at the very least. Gosh he does look so upset in that comic though. Poor guy. |

He looks upset in pretty much every comic. What's Biff's favorite Pizza Topic? Is Biff Vegetarian? |

Chris, do you have any plans of ever drawing anyone in the comic besides Biff? The closest we got has probably been those designer phone bugs - I think those are the only animals so far. And that thing in the drawer. Can't remember the name, started with a G...?

Actually, despite his constant "annoyed" expression it always seems obvious to me how he feels in each situation, though I guess the fixed expression allows for much interpretation. Despite how angry he sometimes looks at his failed ideas I've always imagined him as being a very patient, reasonable man. |

I think creatures are the only additional things I'll draw... and I haven't done that in a long time. |
