Scott Kurtz: Cougar's got a co-pilot just like I do. If Strawdog can't take care of Cougar, it's not my problem.
-
Scott Kurtz: It's just the way I talk. I dunno. I can choose not to I guess. I don't think about it much. The majority of my inspiration comes from daily interactions with family, friends and strangers.

Scott Kurtz: It's a horrible burden. Seriously.
-
Scott Kurtz: PvP. I love PvE, don't get me wrong. But playing PvP, especially in WoW gets my blood pumping.

Scott Kurtz: I have forums? Where?

Umm, my third butt cheek is very useful indeed, mostly I do use it for web comic purposes. Umm, I use it for meditation; meditation is always good with a third butt cheek. It is kind of like the third eye but it’s a lot deeper
Brian:
I can totally see that. Do you have any trouble finding pants?
Obsidian:
No, no you do seem to find that with a third butt cheek pants just come to you. -

Whenever time requires me to sacrifice stuff, the webcomic, is the last thing sacrificed. I love doing the Audiorant and have a lot of fun doing it. The reason I started doing the Audiorant was because I have always secretly wanted to be a stand-up comedian. I approach the Audiorant as if I were just doing stand up comedy. I’m planning on doing it again next week, but if it gets delayed don’t be surprised. -

I don’t actually hate children. As hard as a lot of people would find that to believe, given how vocal I am about it. It’s not so much that I hate children, I just think that children are sort of like stupidity magnets, people tend to behave like complete idiots when the subject is children. On the other hand, I do find kids to be extremely inconvenient, bothersome, and so I am definitely not one of those people that think children are magical. I like them even less because apparently it is required of me to like them. And I don’t like it when I am supposed to like something and when it is wrong for me to not want children. -

Well it depends. In my life I started cartooning first. Basically it was as most people start in this, my parents made me go to some cartooning class of a local artist and you end up drawing exactly like him. Then in High School a friend challenged me to draw more like Image Comics, Shadow Hawk and Back Lash. So, after that I wanted to draw comics for a living. I started drawing American style comics all the way through college.
I started doing fantasy art towards the end of my College years. Basically for the same story, I became fascinated with fantasy art. my introduction to fantasy art was the work of Tony DiTerlizzi. When I finished college I discovered commissioned artists and decided to try working as one. I started my very first website, dragonskull.com and made my portfolio there. I started sending e-mails to big companies. Then I discovered independent role-playing game publishers and started sending e-mails to them.
During my year as a Commissioned artist, I discovered web comics. I started e-mailing other web comic artists I was reading for feedback on my own. I was reading, Ordinary Boy, Penny Arcade, PvP, Sinfest, Hobo, ExtraLife, Little Gamers, Spells and Whistles and Orders of the Stake (If you haven’t read them you should). I e-mailed them all, saying I really liked their work and admire it a lot and it inspired me to start my own comic, I suppose most of them thought I was just trying to fish for a link. I got a reply from nobody except Scott Johnson at ExtraLife and Mr. Madsen, Little Gamers. They both liked it so much that they posted a link on their own sites. That’s where I got my first 500 readers. So when I got 500 readers and they actually stuck around I said well let’s keep on doing this and eventually it became my full-time job. -
