Q: Who are you?
A: We're Mike and Chris, respectively Artist and Author of
Misadventures in Physics, and it's "occasional filler comic," Around the
Office, where we mostly joke about the screw-ups that keep us from getting a
MiP up in time.
Q: Why are you here?
Mike: Uhm...you'll have to ask Chris. It's his idea...I'm just the art
monkey. However, it might be wise to remember
this and
this before calling me
by that name.
Q: What do you use to make the strip? Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop
package?
Mike: Hell no. I find the interface awkward, despite learning it in high
school. We use the Corel package. Corel Draw for our actual creation using
vector art, Corel Photo-Paint to convert to bitmaps.
Q: What's with the updates?
A: Unfortunately, stuff went down at the end of summer that limited our
time to work on the comic. Though we deeply regret having to put the comic on
hold, Chris is coming up with a number of ideas, and hopefully recording them so
that we'll have a substantial buffer for September.
Q: What's with your spelling? Lightsabre? Colour? I thought you guys
were supposed to be in university.
A: We are. However, we're also Canadian; for the most part, Canadians use
the original English spellings of things, rather than the American spellings.
There are rare instances where we use the American spelling (jail over gaol, for
example), but in these instances, it's likely that the old spelling has fallen
to the entropy of time. So yes, occasionally, you'll see something that looks
like it's spelt incorrectly. It's probably not, from a Canadian perspective.
Q: On January 25, 2006, you posted a comic that spoke against the
Conservatives. Does this mean you're communists?
A: No! We're not even socialist. The extent of it is that we're not
right-wing; to be blunt, yes, Mike is a little left-of-centre, but let's not go
crazy here.
Q: Is there any point to this FAQ at all?
A: Not really. It's mostly just to take up your valuable time while we take over
your pitiful planet using a combination of fictional devices and copious amounts of nerdiness.
Q: Mumbo dogface and the banana patch?
A: Well, to be honest, I've gotta....wait. What? Is that even a question?
What in the name of...SUMMER!
