The Ask Jeph thread

--- Quote from: Theriandros on 03 Nov 2009, 15:05 ---Just a few questions:
1. Would you ever consider redrawing the early strips, as some webcomic creators have done, or leave the progression in art to stand?
2. What inspired the current arc? Are you coming out as an anime fan or something?
3. Of all places, why the French Riviera? (Nothing against it, I'm just interested)
Also, you seem like a really cool guy to regularly talk with your fanbase. If I could give you a high-five and/or thumbs-up, I would.

1. no, although I will have to redo some strips I'm missing the art for in the first book
2. it seemed like a funny idea. i like some anime but i feel no need to "come out" about it
3. what?
I'm not that cool, really.

I think the whole point of reincarnation is to NOT reincarnate. In Hinduism/Buddhism, reincarnation is basically flunking a grade and having to go repeat it. So not-believing in reincarnation probably won't get you off the hook.
Carl-E:
Point taken, but there's always a Dalai Lama - it's assumed to be the same soul reincarnated ad infinitum (ad nauseam?), so I think I'm still right...
Malsies:
Jeph,
In strips like today's where a character has sustained an injury to the schnoz, you have them speaking accordingly, like someone with a nose injury would. When writing this dialogue, do you plug your nose and mumble the lines to yourself?

If I remember correctly from my World Religions class in high school, the Dalai Lama has already attained nirvana, and would be able to exit the reincarnation cycle to add to the oneness of the universe, but he chooses to continue to come back to the world to help other souls find nirvana.
