      Mouseover text is the best. Have you considered using something other than the title for it?

      I have! I enjoy the alt text on a few comics but I've been too lazy to put it in. Maybe I'll sneak them in on rare occasion when no one's looking.

      Leave me, you demon-child! Son of the Devil, be gone!

      This is why Laz has a hard time making friends.

      Hmm... quick answer... Ok, here's one for you. Bacon or Beef?

      Oh, now that's a truly tough one. Dinner? Beef. Breakfast? Bacon. Sandwich for lunch? Both!

      What was your inspiration behind Underling?

      I've always been a big history and mythology geek, and Underling is all about that stuff. Besides that, I draw from books(Discworld, American Gods) and comics and personal experiences.

      Were any mind-altering substances involved in the development of Underling?

      I do believe that books and webcomics count as mind-altering, but I don't take anything besides those when I'm writing or drawing!

      hey, how much does a commission, for, say, i don't know, a demon-like dragon cost?

      Really depends on how much detail you want. A simple lineart bust would probably be $10, something very elaborate might be $40+.

      How does making a webcomic make you feel about yourself and your potential career?

      Pretty good! Constantly working on it has really improved my skills and the fact that it's caught on is an awesome bonus.

      What was the very first comic with a story arc you've written?

      It was a couple years ago - a steampunk setting that was all about inner-city faction fighting. Unfortunately, I was so enamored with my characters that I forgot to actually come up with a plot!
