Okay, so no-one's actually had time to ask me any questions, making this entire page bankrupt. We'll see, though. In the meantime, I'll just make some up so that I look good. Despite the fact I'm telling everyone... bugger, lost my train of thought. Again.

What made you start a web comic?

Well, I've always enjoyed web comics and I've always enjoyed drawing. I didn't think I had the talent until a few months ago when I was messing around inFlash and decided to draw some of my friends. For some reason (all previous attempts having failed) it looked remotely good. This is why you see a lot of my characters in the same poses, since it's difficult for me to re-draw things. I swear I can't draw the same thing twice. I'm working on it, though.

What does TTP stand for?

Taking The Piss. It's a common Scottish phrase which means to mock or take the mickey. It's the whole premise I use for this comic. I mock stuff. I rule.

Why Keenspace?

Why not? There's not a lot of free web hosting out there, especially not much that's specifically tailored to web comics. Besides, I found a lot of comic I like
through them, so why not give something back? It's up to them whether they like it or not, but hey; at least it's something. It's the thought that counts, right?
RIGHT?!

Why does [x] person look different than they did before?

Pretty much all artists improve their skills through regular use, thus there was just no point in using the old, worse-looking versions anymore when I could
create a new and better one.

What's with the changing names?

The aliases either sound better or funnier. It's up to the person's preference, really. They're based off real people (even if they play parts mostly) so I gave them
the choice. Aren't I nice?

Where the hell is Iki's left hand?

It was lost years ago in a brutal alien abduction attempt that went awry. Gordo's hand, several xenomorphs and a pack of random geese were lost in the
disaster. It was a really funny picture.
