(I know I haven't been keeping up with comments, but it is only because I'm spending a lot of time at the hospital with a friend right now. I'll catch up to you all soon.)

My name is Rob. I live in Lawrence, Kansas. Don't laugh. It is much, much cooler than it sounds. I mean, come on... there aren't many places in the midwest where a guy with green hair is a common sight.

Random facts: I am bipolar, generally friendly until given a reason to not be, and tend to bounce like Tigger when enthused. I don't mind people who disagree with me, but I quickly lose patience with stupid people, and consider religious fundamentalism an opt-in form of mental illness. I once changed continents for a girl I met on vacation. I've been a martial artist for most of my life. Favorite styles include Kajukenbo and Jiu Jiutsu. I've lived all over the US and in Germany.

I've been an alt rock singer/guitarist/songwriter (Thinking about starting a new band and calling it, "Invaders Don't Dance"), a soldier, a figure drawing model, a web designer, an RPG voice actor, a newspaper columnist, a comedian, a disc jockey, a waiter, a game designer, a construction worker, and a burden on society, among other things.

These days I'm an honors creative writing student and soon-to-be illustration major. I particularly enjoy writing magical realism, slice of life, fictionalized autobio, and science fiction. I aspire to one day create works of literary significance (as many of my friends are already doing) both in the standard "words only" format, and combined with sequential art that incorporates fine art values. I do not believe that literary fiction has to be dull, nor that fun, exciting fiction must be devoid of literary value.

I write a goofy webcomic called Blue Crash Kit (my girlfriend Shan does most of the art) while I attend classes and work on more serious projects.

Favorites of various sorts include (but are not limited to): Ray Bradbury, Richard K. Morgan, Jean-Claude Monet, Steven Baxter, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, David Bowie, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Grace Park, Katee Sackhoff, Jewel Staite, Full Metal Alchemist, Serial Experiment Lain, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, The Boondock Saints, Sluggy Freelance, Ghost in the Shell; Standalone Complex, Kij Johnson, Frank Miller, Christopher Moore... I'll add more later.

Hey no worries! You guys take care of each other and get better, and we'll be waiting for the triumphant return.

Hey, Rob! Thanks for adding me to your friends list. We're practically neighbors (I'm in KC). I saw your posts in the WCN forum, when you were considering having a mirror site at WCN, but I'm not sure if you ever actually joined. Did you? I admire the style of your comic, and its large readership! I drew black and white for a very long time but finally went to color. Talk to you soon.

Hey, thank YOU!
:-)
And incidentally, I used to live in Roeland Park, too.

We should form some sort of in-person meeting group for local comickers--think the KC folk would mind coming out to Lawrence? That'd give the Topeka and Wichita people a little less of a drive.

Hey, Rob - you did actually tell me that you liked CNG way back in one of my Comixpedia blogs; I finally went and gave yours a good look over, too. Not bad at all, bud. Just be careful where you go with the furry-sleigh-pulling joke. You may wind up getting those furry fetishists a bit too excited, if you know what I mean.

Heh! Indeed! I must admit, though, that even though I'm not a furry, the furry community has been very kind and supportive of us, even helping pay Shan's medical bills and, on one occasion, helping us pay rent. Funny that I had never heard of furries until we were getting ready to launch BCK, eh?
