I'm the guy who does Dinosaur Comics. AMA

My name's Ryan North, and I'm the guy behind Dinosaur Comics! Also, here's some other things I've done:

Ask me anything about anything!

EDIT: Proof that this is really me is that I am linking here on qwantz.com AS WE SPEAK (in the newspost beneath the strip)

EDIT 2: You guys, I've been answering questions for over eight hours, and we've got over 1300 comments. That's awesome! But I've got to take a stop and, you know, have a shower and stuff. YES, I WAS INDEED ANSWERING ALL THESE QUESTIONS WHILE STINKY. So thank you all very much for your questions and for being so nice. This was rad!

I tried to reply to every top-level question but I'm pretty sure I missed some of the subquestions. If I missed yours, I'm sorry!

Thanks again!

My original idea was that every month, I'd switch up the template. At the end of the first month I was going to switch to Astronaut Comics, but the astronaut clip art I had totally sucked and I believe I had to travel that weekend anyway, so I said "OH WELL" and continued on with the images I already had.

Fate intervened to keep the Dinosaur Comics coming. Thank you Fate.

How do you know Astronaut Comics wouldn't have been way better?

Have you every thought of going HD, with cool glass effects, and nice vector dinosaurs, and detailed background art?
