Well, the font of the masthead on the cover is just like the one used for GAMES Mag. Of course , Scott could be doing a spoof, but personaly, I don't see a "T" where the "M" should be.MSUSpar10 wrote:It eaither says that, or "Gates".

Yeah, I'm with Greg, and co. I'd give even money that Mr. D is looking straight past the brimley towards something else.
DAMN! I should have trade-marked that word brimley when I had the chance. I could have charged all you clowns $2 every time you used it. Oh well, I screwed up again. I remain poor.

Okay, so I'm dumb. I just realized that Scott's drawing the walrus using the same brown lines he's using for the background, helping to seperate the walrus from the other characters (who are all drawn in black lines). Great technique, and I'm embarrassed to have just noticed it (although not so embarrassed that I'd post this annonymously, heh heh).
Oh, and, uh... brimley.

You're both right, actually.Hm. Actually, seeing how our dear brimley is not supposed to be noticed, p'raps he's been drawn like the background because Scott meant for him to sort of fade into the background.

guess the mag
I'm going to guess Computer Gaming World. The title font and location look similar, but it's hard to tell.Scott McCloud wrote: (It's not Games magazine, btw. Though you're about a third of the way toward the correct answer.)

But why does no one ever notice him? Is he a ghost? Is he the artist's illusion? Is it just too difficult for people to accept a 400lbs brimley in a suit, so they ignore him entirely? What will he do at 5pm?
Maybe nobody wants to admit they can seem him. Sort of like a pink elephant. The boss is probably pouring all the gin out of his lunch thermos down the breakroom drain just off panel.

1. No- hence the title of the improv.Anonymous wrote: But why does no one ever notice him? Is he a ghost? Is he the artist's illusion? Is it just too difficult for people to accept a 400lbs brimley in a suit, so they ignore him entirely? What will he do at 5pm?
2. Possibly. But he does look pretty solid.
3. Maybe.
4. Sometimes. It's hard for people to accept a lot of things, and this doesn't look like an easy free going libral company.
5. Depends on his strength. He will either (a) go home or (b) stay there.
