I prefer Pixar, although I'm going to commit sacrelige here by saying that I wasn't overly impressed by The Incredibles. It was a good movie with some lovely touches, but it was a bit too dark at times for me and the central message got on my nerves a bit. I didn't enjoy it as much as the Toy Storie...

That's one that could horribly backfire. SH also takes an interest in incredibly small things (which are just as interesting as incredibly big things, and have the advantage that they'll fit in the lab).

Either none or one, depending on whether they're just standing there or pointing at something (Ah, the simplicity of the hands in the 2-D Worms games...)

I know that typically when I'm reading a webcomic I'm slightly throw by the three-finger thing, but it doesn't really make much difference to me.

I know how that goes. I have poor motor skills, as well. And people are rough on you about it, too. People have told me all my life that it was just an excuse. Like they think I wouldn't do better if I could! I don't think that's ever actually happened to me. Typically people have accepted me for w...

I couldn't say exactly. I know that, personally, I have a bit of a problem with my physical coordination, which at primary school made me very poor at some things, such as Art, PE, Games, Music, handwriting and other "manual" disciplines. I made up for this by being good at everything "intellectual"...

Grabbing a hat from under a rapidly lowering door (the gag with a thousand parodies). That scene with the fancy swordsman and the gun. That scene in the second film with the two fancy swordsmen and the absence of gun (particularly bizarre because ToD was a prequel). The giant stone ball. The mining ...

Given that I started in October, I still don't have much to compare November with.

I was always a big fan of the Norm, but man, $100,000? Is it $100,000 a year, or just $100,000 to be kept in some massive vault, to be spent when necessary? From above website: Michael Jantze's comic ended print syndication with King Features on Sept. 12. His wife, Nicole, subsequently announced th...

Ooh hey, I use WS_FTP. Don't think I get any spam from them, possibly because I was a) using a different e-mail address when I got it and b) I think I actually signed up for the newsletter.

When I originally camp up with the Boot Camp concept two years ago, and drew the first strip of the pencil version, the characters were incredibly poorly defined.
