      Oh, probably, but I'm not sure what I'll be animating. Or how I'll animate something, because Photoshop can be a pain to animate with and I still don't have a solid grasp on Flash. Still, I would like to make some kind of animation because I liked how some of the Fencing Club GIFs came out.

      Maybe, but it might be difficult for Library Girl to keep waiving Pretty Jeff's library fines. For Jeff, the due date of a library book means that it won't be returned until after that date.

      It's Terrorist Jeff. He wanted to win the election for Pretty Jeff by taking the position by force, but he got confused and, after wandering around for several hours, decided to sit down for a while to rest.

      Astronaut. I wanted to be a space colonist, but NASA has been dragging its heels with the whole Moon colony thing. And NOW they want to go to Mars. I wonder when they'll get around to that one. :(

    5. Jeff Gibbons

      Yes! it is such a good show, and now that I've just looked at Cartoon Network's website and seen that there's only one full episode available, I'm going to go around and find more through semi-legal means.

      Best three things (in no particular order):
      1. Winning second place for Best Webcomic.
      2. Hanging out with cool artists and meeting awesome people.
      3. People enjoying my comics.

      Worst things about SPACE (in no particular order):
      1. It shouldn't have been a month earlier when no one would show up.
      2. The dude in the colonial outfit showed up again and looked at the skull on our table.
      3. We could see the banner for the webcomic "Bridgette's Belly" the whole time we were at our table.

      Oh, and Mike cutting his finger and having to go to the emergency room, but technically he cut it before SPACE started. Plus, it wasn't such a big deal going to the emergency room (except for Mike, of course. He's fine, by the way).

    9. Jeff Gibbons

      Probably. I used to wear them all the time and now I hate wearing them. I don't even think they look good on other people.

    10. Jeff Gibbons

      Dilbert's a more well-known character, and I'll never get a movie deal if I don't have a character that everyone knows about! Like Yogi Bear!

      Actually, the idea was to put raccoon eyes on Dilbert to say "Hey, it's Pretty Jeff, but he's Dilbert!" I guess that line of reasoning didn't work out as well as I thought it would. Oh well, I still think the comic is funny. Characters without necks are fun to draw, anyway.

      Is this a trick question? I got them done in about 20 minutes or less. It was definitely more labor-intensive than last year (which I will not link to).

    12. Jeff Gibbons

      I have, actually! I just recently won the S.P.A.C.E prize for best webcomic (second place). Here is the link to the site so you can see that I'm being legit. http://www.backporchcomics.com/space_prize.htm

      The person in the comic is someone I've seen on campus, yes. She has black hair, wears a red and white striped shirt and hat, and tends to walk around in large crowds. See if you can find her.

    14. Jeff Gibbons

      No, she wasn't. That was a dream. I was pissed off about it, especially since it was early and I had to go to a class that I didn't like. I wanted to go back to sleep.

    15. Jeff Gibbons

      Hell no. I've spent years getting Hoops out of my system. I'm not bringing it back except to write about how awful it is. This is a problem of mine that I've been recently addressing - I get into a rut where I become too comfortable with what I'm working on. I have to be more creative and have a greater range of subject matter.

    16. Jeff Gibbons

      I don't know. I don't think I'm going to do any more comics with Fred. His hair's gotten too long and it'll take up the whole panel, maybe even spread over the entire comic.

    17. Jeff Gibbons

      You need to be more specific, because I don't know what you're asking about, so I'll assume you're asking about Fencing Club.

      I thought about selling a printed copy of Fencing Club, but looking at Problem Sleuth: Volume 1 makes me less thrilled about the idea of printing the individual frames of an animation. But even if I was to sell Fencing Club Adventures in a collected form, I don't know many people who would shell out the money for an incomplete story that will never be resolved, especially with half of the art being mediocre. It doesn't make much sense, and it would only appeal to the people who kept up with Fencing Club on the forums. At this point, I've decided that the story is scrapped, it was a good exercise, but there's no saving it without major changes to the foundations of the story and removing entire characters and sideplots. Maybe I'll take another crack at it, since the idea of an EXTREME FENCING CLUB can be used with different characters to create interesting combinations, but that won't be for a while.

      I appreciate that you'd be willing to buy a printed copy of the story, but the book is probably not going to materialize.

      As for written plans, there really aren't any - just cool ideas. That was one of the reasons I stopped drawing Fencing Club. There was just too much going on for me to make sense of it all.

      You can't talk to people through computers! What do you think this is, Tron Legacy? That's not how the internet works.

      If I tell you, then they won't be secret anymore, and I'll fail the projects.

      Actually, I'm putting more focus into my minicomics and a graphic novella (a short novel) I'm working on as part of a Senior Project. I'm also designing things for Polaris, the undergraduate journal of arts and literature at Ohio Northern University submit here: http://www.polarismag.org/ do it now if you're an undergrad. And I'm also trying to work on Pretty Jeff comics and my college courses.
