Scott understands that the primary foundation is critical to the end result. Scott understands the important role that farmers play in Clackamas County's economy. Scott understands the demanding tolerance and purity specifications necessary for consistent, high-quality semiconductor wafer fabricatio...

Re: An unusual use of branching, actually
I happen to like branching storylines. I was fascinated by those "choose your own adventure" books for kids that used to be popular a long time ago. (How long has it been now... 15, 20 years since those were published? Probably too long ago for most of the rest of the people in this forum to rememb...

To restate what everyone else has already said, great use of flash. Just to be contrary (;)): I wasn't too impressed. I didn't find the whole "branching storylines" thing particularly interesting the first time I saw it, and it hasn't grown on me. I guess I prefer my comics to form a coherent whole...

That and a bottle of cheap booze to warm his cockles. That wouldn't actually help keep him alive. Alcohol widens the blood vessels, which makes you feel warmer since you get more blood flow to the skin, but this actually helps the heat escape your body, thus helping you freeze to death. But I don't...

What is the Scott McCloud?
The Scott McCloud is an alien lifeform from a small planet orbiting Sirius. The Scott McCloud is a robotic elephant. The Scott McCloud is a new soft drink, fizzy and tasty. The Scott McCloud is the offspring of Odin, and all that grows or is born in Midg?rd bows before him. The Scott McCloud is a st...

One way or the other, we know that barring some trickery (which I am certainly not ruling out), this isn't going to end with the character in a mental institution, at least not immediatly. Indeed: I know something you don't know. It's a pattern buried in the web of simple actions we perform every d...

Whether you are being serious or not, we pretty much know that this isn't going to happen because the story starts with him in bed with a mysterious blonde. Actually, is she mysterious? She looks a lot like Friday to me - a mole in the same place, similar noses (I think, at least - different angles...

Why else is the rest of the world knocking down the door to come here? It isn't. The vast majority of the world's population has no interest in the US. Of course a lot of people from poorer nations want to move to more prosperous places, but that is in no way unique to the US. The situation is the ...

Well, this improv's over- Somebody noticed the Walrus! Oops. Sorry about that. (I was thinking this Improv might involve ordinary people doing ordinary things in ordinary situations, but always, always, there's the walrus lurking in the background. Silent, observing, thinking, and in the end... it ...

OK, we see our little (ok, he ain't so little) walrus friend peeking behind the door. But what if there's another walrus? But if there are more than one walrus, which one is the walrus? The title implies that there's only one, or at the very least one that's more important (if only to the story) th...

one can, and will, assume is actually the name of the character who is "off camera", addressing Stuart (which is also better than being called Hyman...just ask your Uncle Hymie), and who is, indeed, with out a shadow of doubt ...a fat, mustachioed, ivory tusked WALRUS! I'd like to register a shadow...

Re: Good night, tough guy, we hardly knew ye.
I don't know if Scotts' title was inspired by the quote from Julius Caesar ("The evil that men do lives after them;/The good is oft interred with their bones" -act III, scene II.), the title of the Iron Maiden song ( from what I know of Scott's musical tastes, I doubt it ), or the title of the 1984...

My immediate reaction upon seeing the background was "internal organs". That's probably not it though. While that blob on the left is a decent likeness of a lung, the tubular thing is sprouting too many off-shoots to be a blood vessel, or - for that matter - anything else in the human body that I kn...
