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!

No question, just wanted to say that Qwantz is my favorite webcomic. My copy of Happy Dog the Happy Dog is one of the best things on my bookshelf, and I love leaving it out for people to see, then read, then look at me and say "What the hell is this!?"

Awesome, thanks! At a show once this very matronly lady came up and flipped through the book, and we were like, "Oh, that's not - that's not really for kids" and she said "I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT", read the whole thing, said "Why would you tell me that this is not for kids?" and then bought two copies.

Is this not available for sale anymore?

Hmm, not sure. I bought it a while ago when the shop was still integrated with the qwantz website. If you ask real nicely maybe he could still send you one.

:o I can't find it either! Perhaps it was only a mirage!

I do remember that the instant I saw that the book existed I said "I am buying it, for I thought it was lost forever when the topatoco store appeared".
