featuring Talking Guinea Pigs!? Yeah. That's a stupid name. Sorry about that. No worries. You have some questions, or . . . ? What on Earth made you decide to write about guinea pigs from outer space traveling to 19th century Russia? Well, the answer is simple at first blush, but then I have to go into a little more about me. Basically, this comic was made with the intention of combining all the things that I love into one project. You love guinea pigs, outer space, and 19th century Russia? Yeah, sort of. I love drawing guinea pigs. My first real comic as a kid was about my pet guinea pig, Joe. It was a 160 page book of nonsense. But it was really fun to make, and I've never had more fun than drawing those silly little guinea pigs. That's one down... I just love sci-fi. I'm not like a huge lover of the genre, necessarily, as much as the idea of the possibilities of technology and what the future may hold. In a way, I'm a lover of science, and what potential it has. All right, after that answer, I don't care anymore. Don't tell me about the last part. Well, since you asked . . . for about two years I was obsessed with Dostoevsky. I read nearly everything he wrote, with the exception of a few short stories, and his non-fiction publications. I read his major novels all two to three times each. You have a lot of free time on your hands. You'd be amazed at how much you can read if you simply commit to reading 20 pages a day. That's about 600 pages a month. So almost a Dostoevsky novel every month / month and a half. What about "War and Peace"? That's like a million pages. More like 1,200. Also, that's Tolstoy. But I just started it! I need to get back into that 20 pages a day routine, if I intend to get anywhere. OK, look, I really don't care anymore. OK . . . well . . . One last question. What's up with Cagin' It? It's a web comic strip updated five times a week. But the drawings . . . they're all the same! That's kind of the point. It's really just a way for me to make a comic strip that doesn't take the hours to make that my main project takes. Alright, I'm seriously done, now. OK, thanks for the questions . . . and the abuse.
