I don't hate Republicans, I just wish that they wouldn't flaunt their politics in public.

Hi there Nyamaza, and welcome to the little world inside Allan's head. It is always nice to see another face in the forum! BTW: if you don't mind me asking that is: Your nick looks familiar.... you would not happen to hang out in a particular room on the YiffNet servers would you? The name just looks familiar is all.

[Nyamaza]

Yiffnet? No, haven't really even heard of that. I'm on both Furrymuck and Tapestries, muckwise, and have been in a couple different Lion King fan chatrooms. I'm on a couple mailign lists too (gayfur, yifflist).

Speaking of Allen, I have a question for our favorite comic artist... why do you update on Tuesdays and Fridays? It kinda makes sence, there's a 2 or 3 day gap between them, I was just wondering where that decision came from, rathr then, say, Monday and friday as alot of other comic artists update.

[Allan_ecker]

Tuesday was chosen as the day for weekly updates back when the strip was a once-a-week thing.

I chose Tuesday in honor of the caption of my first-ever picture of Volair, which you can see on the "About the strip" section of the Guide.

The caption reads:
"Now, if you'd been beaten, tortured, thrown out of an airplane, beaten, tortured, thrown out of a twelfth-story window and left hanging from a rope for six hours, some people would say you'd had a bad day. Me, I prefer to say to myself, Hey, it's better than LAST Tuesday."

I picked Friday as the second update day because it was halfway through the week without being on the weekend. (I made this decision thinking that people'd want Umlaut House as part of their morning routine, like coffee. That's certainly how I read my strips.)

Next year, when I've got a job and a place of my own, I might go to three days/week, then daily, depending on how much better and faster I get, and how many jokes there are left in this strip.

All comics have a finite number of jokes in them. Some strips can go for decades without running out. Others, a few months. I'm estimating that, even going daily, Umlaut House has about three years worth of jokes, minimum, left. If Umlaut House runs out of jokes, though, be sure I'll come up with something else to fill the time! After all, you guys haven't even seen Unit Zero yet...

[BrainchildJeff]

Seems like this thread has wandered off of it's original purpose and died off but whatever, I'll just post this here anyway. I've been lurking here for about a month and I figure I might as well stop in and say hi.

Name: Jeff
Gender: M
Age: 17
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 110 lbs
Occupation: Student (starting university in the fall)
SO: unknown, 8 months ago I would have said straight, 4 months ago I would have said gay, now I have no idea (it seems like whenever I think I'm sure something/someone changes my mind)
Fav music: nothing specific, but generally rock, classical, and jazz
Hobbies: music (performing and listening), running (hence such a low weight for a guy nearly 6 feet: less to carry, so I can go faster)

Well, I guess that's about it. Hi everyone!

*notices a knocking at the door, gets up and opens it. Looks around and doesn't see anybody until he glances down and sees an animated piece of string with a suitcase which promptly comes in*

Hey, everybody, our wandering thread has come home!

Anywho, hiya BrainchildJeff! Pull up an ottoman and make yourself at home.

[TwoDifferentSox]

Nice to meet you Mr BrainchildJeff!
Welcome to this forum, hope you'll enjoy it here, yes.

[JackalOfAllTrades]

Okay... they say that third time is the charm... we'll see! My attempt at posting something has failed twice. Lets see if this works. Ofcourse if it does, and I'm unable to change this post.. then I'll just look really silly in front of everyone! Ah well, such is life sometimes. ; )

[JackalOfAllTrades]

Yeesh, its almost enough to make a guy resume lurking! It won't let me edit my post afterall! Well, I'll just risk looking doubly silly and do it as a seperate post. Anyway, here we go....

[Callie]

So, early this morning I figured I need another obsession, and started reading the UH comic... and here I am now.

Real Name: Anna
Age: 18
Gender: female
Height: 5'5".... 5'10" with the shoes I usually wear.
Weight: 110lbs
S.O.: Mostly straight. Mostly.
Favorite Star Trek quote: "Picard would never have hit me..." -- Q, in Q-Less
Aliases: I usually go by Calanthe (Callie), but I have dozens of names I use in RPGs as well.
What I do: I'm supposed to study and all that, but I prefer playing EverQuest and reading slash... And trying to convince guys who call themselves straight that they're really gay.

Callie

[Andrick]

...I prefer playing EverQuest...

Around my gaming table we refer to that as Evercrack except the consensus is that crack would be an easier addiction to kick.

... And trying to convince guys who call themselves straight that they're really gay.

Evil, evil girl. Any luck so far?

By the by, Calanthe, welcome to the UH forum and perhaps your first lucid experiment into mind altering rambling; pity its such a dump. Feel free to roam about but don't wander to near the crater. That spot marks the demise of a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias.

*edit*would you believe I forgot where I was?*/edit*

[Callie]

Yeah, tell me about it... Around my gaming table, we usually refer to it as "the-game-that-cannot-be-spoken-of" for fear that if we talk about it too much everyone will get it and become addicted. *grin*

Evil, evil girl. Any luck so far?

LOL yes, I'm making progress in some cases... The ones that didn't run away screaming after the first conversation with me, anyhow.

That spot marks the demise of a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias

I know I'm in the right place when I recognize the reference. *grin*

Oh well, time to feed my addiction. /sigh
Callie

[Hampster]

Run away screaming, knew I forgot to do something...

[Chrisrj]

Why do you call yourself "hampster" while you have a picture of a mouse? It's too mind-boggling!... oh, just answered my own question, huh? lol
It's a cute mouse, though:P

I think that is to keep the brains of the audience from overloading. I mean, some <a href="http://www.animearchive.com/kusikusi_move2.gif">cute hampster pics</a> simply boil your brain cells when you look at them too long...
