amongst the comics you make, is there any that you have adopted as a favorite?

    Humm. A tough one.

    Perhaps it might seem strange, but I have a real fondness for my guest comics. I like being able to try to strike a balance of so many things; imitating another artist's style, incorporating my own style, blending the elements I like of my sense and theirs, trying to do something that their reader's will enjoy and that I feel proud of, etc. It's an interesting opportunity for me to spread my stubby little duck wings out!

    I'm generally happy with my Me and G comics as well. They're pretty fun to do and simple enough in style that I can usually just concentrate on pacing, and making often terrible jokes enjoyable. Plus, I enjoy inventing imaginary interactions! I do that a lot.

    There are lots of KinokoFry comics I have a particular fondness for. Often not the ones that are the most popular, which is usually the case for any creator. There are always those elements in a page which were particular challenges or points of pride for us, which a reader obviously can't pick up on. For example, sometimes readers will never know that you couldn't draw a dog, and now you kind of can draw one okay.

    No single one stands out for me though, but off the top of my head, I'm quite happy with;
    Night of the Living Cupcakes (#7: http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-007/ ),
    Where Babies Come From (#8: http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-035-where-babies-come-from/ ),
    Perfect Ten (#46: http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-046-perfect-ten/ ),
    Who's Hungry (#56: http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-056-whos-hungry/ ),
    Animal Facts (#90: http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-090-animal-facts/ )... among others because I think they're pretty well-told/paced jokes.

    (I lied, I looked them up in my archives)

    And I have a lot of strips I was really pleased with visually, which include all the strips I've made prints of, of course. Also the little sequence of #75-#78 ( http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-075-domino-effect/ ), #98 ( http://kinokofry.com/archive/kinokofry-098-the-trickle-down-effect/ ) ... ah, a bunch of others.

    Sometimes I forget I am proud of my work, generally!

    A fun question to answer because I haven't looked at a lot of these comics in awhile.
