Questions?

PDI · Post by **PDI** » Sat Mar 03, 2001 6:16 am

Howard Tayler did this in the Schlock Mercenary forum, and I liked the way it worked. Perhaps I'm being a bit premature, but I thought I'd try it:What questions do you, the readers, have about PDI? Specifically, loose ends that you feel are still loose, continuity questions, "will we ever see..." questions, "rules of the PDI universe" questions...I may choose to be enigmatic and answer by saying "that will be revealed in a future PDI, so I can't tell you," but I'll answer any I can. It's even possible some of this discussion will trigger some future plot elements...And no, I'm not doing this because I'm out of ideas ... I have scripts written into next month, and ideas for at least two years.I'm just intrigued to see what you-all come up with.------------------

Don't worry Raikou, it's actually a pretty fair question.I'll be keeping three fingers for the PDI crew, if we do a crossover with a four-fingered fellow. I'll do that instead. Sometimes I lapse, or make a mistake and looks like a fourth finger, but I've been trying to keep PDI down to three fingers, one thumb.Trackers mark... muwhaha. Wait till you meet Blitz.------------------

that's allright, it was an arsey question, you didn't need to answer it...!On a more serious side, we already know what Talbon looks like as a furry, but what of Scix...?
And when do you cameo in your own comic...?Ooh, another point on the subject of furries, I reckon you should do a seperate gallery for reader's furry self portraits, (and your's and Scix of course) since we've already had talent from Yinn and Sandra, maybe you could encourage others to pick an animal for themselves and draw.
Hell, I need the excuse.
I major in Illustration and I feel really guilty if a day goes by and I haven't drawn something...

Talbon is my online personality, it's pretty much the one and only name I use. So I'm super easy to track down.Unless you mean human me? Erf, I'm slowly getting better at humans. Give me a month or two.As for Scottie Boy, well that depends. He can ask me to pencil in something for him, I know you'll be seeing more of Talbon and random zaniness in a bit. Scott will be taking a break for a week, handing the reins entirely over to me. The horror, who knows whta I'll do?------------------

What you say?Tal, hun, don't be giving stuff away.The artist/writer swap is not yet scheduled, just a random thought.My furry character is Winkite, and is in the gallery. If we get a few more reader-furry portraits, I'll consider doing a seperate page for them.------------------

Okay, heres one...
When will Talbon decide on THREE FINGERS OR FOUR?????he he he!

Raikou · Post by **Raikou** » Sun Mar 04, 2001 5:24 am

oh god I'm so ashamed. That was so thoughtless and insensitive...
especially considering just how damn good the art is becoming.
GAAAH I don't know. I always look for piddling insignificant inconsistencies to niggle about because I'm an arsehole, and afterall, I put my spare time to use with a decent webcomic, don't I...

Hmmmm, here's a question... what's the origin of the paw-mark on Tracker's shoulder?------------------

I'll let Talbon respond to the question of fingers...I'll loan him my red suede flogger.The paw mark is actually a pretty involved story line coming up this summer, at the earliest, so I can't respond, except that your question will be answered. I'm pleased you picked up on it, though.

How does Galine lay all those eggs? I'm no expert of chicken biology (I'll leave that to Scott) but I thought they needed a rooster to get them, er, going. So to speak.Oooh! I just say the Cast page! Matrixy! Neat! Great job Anthony! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">------------------

Just thought of some more. Where does the Institute get its funding?Is P.D.I. a private or government organization?If private is it non-profit charitable organization or some kind of corporation? Who sits on it's board of directors in either case? If it is for profit, then how does it turn one?If governmental then what's the chain of command? Who has oversight? What Department(s) does it belong to?Those help? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------

Hens don't necessarily require roosters ... there are horemones that can be added to their feed. Becky was on a diet of the stuff before her mutation, so a result of the change is that she can lay (more or less) at will.PDI funding actually comes into play next month (so I'll leave your question basically unanswered)... and no, they're not government, they're private. P.O.O.P is the governemnt's nearest equivalent, and they're useless (you'll meet them someday!)Keep it up, this is fun!------------------

Yeah, like you're ever gonna do another one. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">And speaking of fingers, Tony, I think Pathos' left hand is backwards today? Not that I should criticize anybody's art; I draw mere ovals for hands, fer Chrissakes. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/redface.gif"> Sometimes I don't even draw in lines to differentiate fingers!And this might not be the thread to make suggestions, but something that might be humorous and lead to interesting stuff in the future is that if Tracker can't actually get any. I understand you're not trolling for ideas, but the current innuendo in the storyline has forced me to bring this up. He's obviously supposed to be a stud, whatever his preferences, so should he decided to put the moves on somebody, failure is much funnier than success. Does that make sense?------------------

Okay, two questions:
How (and where) did they get that photo of Roger in werecoyote form, and even with that kind of pose?
And have you ever thought of making a t-shirt with coloring like Tracker's and with that pawmark where he has it?Yah, if my english seems bad at times, checking out where I'm from probably explains it (but I'm learning this language all the time here...)
