| Q: I submitted my comic strip a long time ago and I still don't see it posted. Why is it taking so long? |
| A: I'm a very busy person and just don't have the time that I did a year ago to make updates like I'd like. I'm making updates now however! |
| |
| Q: I sent you an e-mail and haven't heard back from you. Are you ignoring me? |
| A: Not intentionally. As I mentioned I am very busy and only glance through my e-mail for stuff from close friends and relatives. I always mean to write back when I have time but with the large volume of e-mail I get a day it sometimes ends up getting lost. Just today I found e-mail unread/unanswered from over a year ago! Ugh! I need to work some sort of system for keeping track of e-mail from those of you who send (about comic strips). |
| |
| Q: Are you a cartoonist? |
| A: No. I am pretty good with computers and with writing but I stink at drawing.
I'm just a fan of comic strips. When I was
a kid, my dad was in charge of the pressroom.
I got to see the Sunday comics made and that was
SO COOL! After that, I loved comic strips!
*lol* |
| |
| Q: I'm trying to get syndicated. Can you help me? |
| A: Yes...to a limited degree. I recommend reading what other syndicated cartoonist have to say about getting into the business (advice section). I don't know any of the editor's nor do I have any weight with them. I wish I did, but I don't. |

| Q: Have any web cartoonist ever been syndicated? |
| A: Yes!
Spooner is one such strip.
Captain Ribman is another. It is hard for
a cartoonist to break into the game! BUT
don't let that stop you. Some of the most
popular strips out there didn't get there
overnight. In fact it took many a few
years to break in and then it was even longer
before they were big. Dilbert
is a great example of this. |

| Q: Where did you get the name AstroNerdBoy? |
| A: Back when 9600 was king of the modems, I signed up with Prodigy to begin my online experience. To participate in the chat rooms, one needed an alias. So I picked a name but it was already in use. Then I picked another to find it was in use too. After several frustrating minutes of attempting to find a 'cool' name, I decided to go all out. AstroNerdBoy popped into my head and no one else was using it. My friends say it matches me since I like space and sci-fi (Astro), I am a computer guru (Nerd), and I am a guy (Boy). So there you have it. Nothing special but there ya go! *smile* |

| Q: Why are there so many dead links on your web/syndicated page? |
| A: Comic strips come and
go, especially web comic strips. I don't
check every day for dead links but I try to
check monthly. If you see a strip who's
URL has changed,
let me know! |
| |
| Q: Why'd you
change the website's design? |
| A: I was bored
with the old site's look and wanted something
that looked cooler. I'm pretty pleased
with this as a whole though sometimes I wonder
about my opening new windows (whether it bothers
others). |
| |
| Q: Do people
really donate to you? |
| A: Actually yes!
Granted it's only a dollar here and five dollars
there. Once I got $20 which really was
cool. Granted I don't get donations like
other sites but that's OK. I'm thankful
for every penny I get! Thanks to everyone
who's donated. |
