What is this comic about?A Girl and Her Fed (AGAHF) is the story of a nameless Girl who finds that she is being watched by government agents. She and the Fed assigned to watch her form a partnership and attempt to untangle one hell of a knotty conspiracy.
my personal favorite) Oh my God, why don't they have eyes?I am intentionally excluding these details. Part of it is because my art skills aren't all that. Mostly it's because I don't want to represent any specific person or organization. This probably drives off some people but I hope that readers treat the comic as an illustrated book from which a new page is released five times a week. Also, please keep in mind that books don't...
Why do some of the comics in the early part of the archives look worse than others?Those are the earliest comics. I'm gradually replacing these so the archives have a uniform look to them and to improve the flow of the story. I've been trying to do one per week but I also work and have an online comic as a hobby, so someday I'll catch up.
Where is your Cast Page?There are five main characters: a Girl, a Fed, the ghost of Benjamin Franklin, a personal digital assistant that takes the form of George W. Bush, and a koala bear named Mr. Speedy. There is no Cast Page, but here is a brief synopsis of these characters: The Girl: We don't know her name. We do know she's in her mid-twenties, independently wealthy (thanks to Ben and gaming ...
Why draw a comic strip about civil rights?It makes for a wonderful story.

The fact that they aren't as stable as we think allows for a lot of speculation in terms of plot options and characterization. In the interests of full disclosure, I should also point out that I thought up ...
Does this mean you are the Girl?I'm getting tired of seeing this question in my inbox (more specifically some version of "HAH HAH MARY-SUE BLAH BLAH"). It's fiction, and all fiction comes from somewhere. We share some minor character traits and background events, but so do Ben, Speedy, and the Fed. You write what you know, but unless you're working on your autobiography or some downright nasty wish fulfi...
I've sent you a political article via email. Why didn't you discuss it?I don't talk about my personal politics in the Notes section. They aren't relevant to the story. I do appreciate any articles you send to me, and I read (and usually enjoy) them.
Why did you write an anti-Bush strip?It's not. In retrospect, I should have chosen to use Richard Nixon as the face of the Pocket President: I get far too many emails from readers who are hung up on the idea of a sitting president playing an active role in the strip. But what's done is done (I really liked the way the phrase "Bitty Bush" sounded) and I'll go on the record here by saying that the Pocket Presid... |
