Well, not really, but it had been raining for days. I'd been talking to a friend of mine online. She was telling me a sad story about how her apartment flooded. The first thing that popped into my head was to be a smartass. Then I took it a step farther and drew her a comic to illustrate my point.

Originally, it was going to just be the one little drawing, but later that day, I had ideas for two more. After the third one, I decide I would try and make a regular thing out of it, and here we are.

All of the comics and the graphics for this site are done using Adobe Illustrator. I didn't have a scanner for a long time, and my graphics tablet makes me angry and has since gone missing in action, so it's all done using the mouse.

I did the first one in Illustrator that way because it was quick. Afterwards, I decided I liked the style and stuck with it.

Sometimes, I make the numbers up on the spot. Sometimes they have something to do with the comic. Which is which? I'll never tell... unless you ask nicely.

The main font I use is Felt Tip Roman by Mark Simonson. I went on a handwriting font kick for some reason back in 2006. I don't even remember why now. I ended up buying that font, which has an illustrious history, and downloading several dozen other handwriting fonts from Font Garden and other places I can't recall.

I also use Digital Strip and Sunday Comics which are available for free from Blambot. These two fonts, and a few others on rare occasion are used for the dialog.
