My bet is that it's in the "comfortable" range.
This is an odd question. Which of the characters do you think can sing?
Faye and Dora. Nobody else.
Do you dislike The Who? Reading through the archives i got the impression you didnt like them, but i may just be overprotective of my favorite band.
Pete Townshend seems like kind of a jerk, but he writes some good tunes.
A long while ago (around #300), you said you had an idea of where the strip was heading. ?More recently, you've indicated that this isn't quite the case any more.
So, my question:
Which major developments had you imagined way back when, and which ones just sprouted closer to the moment? ?You've said you had The Talk and Hannelore planned well in advance (as I assume you had the Marten-Dora thing planned); what about Marten's firing? ?The band? ?Sven rehabilitating? ?The new Coffee of Doom Employee, whenever she shows up?
Thanks!
Everything past Marten and Dora getting together has been largely improvised with an eye to long-term developments. If that makes any sense.
If Dave Grohl were an AnthroPC, could he defeat Pintsize in a sumo match? And (as someone who watches too much anime for my own good) I want to know if Pintsize would be voiced by a person (and if so, by whom) or a voice synthesizer? This is assuming QC would be put into audible format.
No. Josh Homme could though. I will never give Pintsize a voice if I can help it.
How are Marten and Steve friends? ?Steve seems to be his only acquaintance prior meeting Faye in this entire city, and I don't believe they share(d) the same work place. ?Mutual friends of bitchy ex?
College buddies? Met in a gay bathhouse? I dunno.
If you absolutely had to choose... ?Indian, Thai, Mexican or Italian? ?Food, that is. ?Though I suppose hookers would be good to know as well.
I like Thai more, but I could probably eat Mexican more often before I got sick of it.
Whatever happened to Marten's Yelling about Music blog?
Haven't had time.
Although you've made it clear that Marten isn't completely based upon you, is that the case with the other cast members, Tequila Monster included?
Also (even when the question is a tad late)...Do you like soccer?...I'm asking because of the IndieTits strip about the World Cup, and the German National Team badge on Faye's shirt (nitpicky and a wee bit obsessive, i know).
Nobody in the comic is "based" on me any more than any other character. They're all extensions of my personality I guess, since I made 'em up.
I like watching the World Cup. Beyond that I don't really keep up.
If a fan asked you to give them a cameo, would you?? If so, would they die horribly (in the comic)?
If a fan were to ask you to draw one of the characters naked, how would you respond? (Please note, this is curiosity.? I have porn if I want to see that stuff)
Are there any unacceptable ways for a fan to introduce themselves to you?
Have you ever had to suppress the urge to tell a fan to "Get a fucking life!"?? Or do you just yell it at them if you feel the need?
1) Probably not.
2) Only for millions of dollars.
3) With a knife.
4) Outside of the forums? Nope. People are generally nice in person!
I'm curious about two things:
1. Does the future hold crazy international trips to or more insane-o crossovers with other comics in Questionable Content?
2. Have you considered or are you planning on any new comic concepts other than Questionable Content or IndieTits?
3. If I repeated any questions in this post, would I be shunned for it or would you look it over as understandable?
1. Probably.
2. Constantly.
3. Whatevs. It's better than the same 10 questions every interviewer asks me for their articles.
Eek, more questions come to mind...
What artists did you use as a source of material inspiration?
So if advertisements and merch are your sole source of income, what takes up most of your time?? Beating off horny female fans?
Where's the beef?
1. Everything. Literally everything.
2. Packing t-shirts and drawing.
3. In my freezer.
My question, as long as it hasn't been asked yet.
When, can, how will you include more Mieville (or cats in general) in future comics?
Maybe! Cats are fun to draw.
uh in the first (technically second issue) of my comic book one of the main characters is wearing a coffee of doom shirt,i did this as homage but um just wondering...are you gonna sue me?
Not unless you start sellin' the shirts yourself. In which case I will burn your house down with you trapped in it.
Before I ask my question, I would like to offer my condolences on your severed artery and wish you a speedy recovery. The question i ask is to be taken in humor and is not meant to be disrespectful in any way.
I cant help notice the parallel between your knife accident and Faye's cooking accident. Did you put that into Faye's character because you (or some you know well) had that kind of accident, or was it a simple coincidence/divine intervention that you made a character who cut themselves on the hand with a knife, then you cut yourself on the hand with a knife too?
I'm gonna chalk it up to coincidence. Most everybody's had to get stitches in their hand at some point or another.
