Questions for Taeshi

Comment ID #19463

Hi, I’m new here but I’ve noted you before on DA. Webcomics and their artists/writers have always facinated me. I have a few questions that I was hoping you would answer.

What inspired you to create your comic?

What do you enjoy most about doing the comic?

In your opinion, what is the hardest part of doing a webcomic?

Generally, how long does it take you to draw one page?

Do you have a set process when making a page or does your process change from page to page?

What tools do you use to create the comic?

That’s all I have for now. I try to keep these things short (5-6 Questions). If you let me I have another set ready to go after this one. Topic: Characters.

heres a question. k you take a slice of buttered toast an strap it to the back of a cat, when you throw the cat out the window, will the toast lan butter side down or will teh cat land on its feet?



or will the 2 forces counter-act each other and the cat just spin forever a few cm from the ground?

Iain Westy May 10, 2010, 5:12 PM EST.

Nah, it might flip for a few seconds but then the cat would momentarily sacrifice one it’s nine lives and temporarily die, acceding to the toast. It would then hit the ground, get back up and then proceed to eat the toast.

Now, assuming the cat has only one life left, one of two things will happen
1. The cat will eat the toast as it spins, destabilizing the effect of the toast
2. Implosion

You realize, of course, all your posts now have to be pictorials, right?



Also, I imagine that’s what a grown up Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs fame would look like….and act like.

Taeshi, what quantities of alcohol or recreational drugs does it take to deal with us? I must understand this.

Comment ID #19773

how can an abstract concept male a sound?

Westy May 10, 2010, 10:27 PM EST.

Comment ID #19781

How can you prove that anything that you see actually exists and isn’t just a figment of our collective subconscious? The simple answer is that it doesn’t make a sound, it just types, like this.

The more complicated reason can be found here somewhere…

lmao no im not i dont think anyones really claiming i am though
edit: ok i didnt see westys post but THAT DOESNT COUNT
and besides none of this is even remotely serious and i am wasting no time on this i thought that was obvious by the fact im using flash to draw/ exporting it as a low quality gif/ its sketchy as fuck
