    From today (Monday) until Friday, Richard von Stevens VIII, creator of the brilliant DIESEL SWEETIES webcomic and newspaper strip, workaholic and 24/7 cryptoid-stabbing netizen who bleeds bacon when you cut him will be hanging out in this thread. His comics: he will show you them. Including e-books and stuff. And probably also talking about reptoids and Art Bell. He is here to take your questions and make you pay attention.

    Say hello to R Stevens now.

    Hello, R Stevens. By cosmic force or pure coincidence, I happen to be wearing one of your t-shirts at the moment. It says "Play Old Video Games." I'm looking forward to this thread. Welcome aboard!

    Richard von Stevens VIII [...] bacon [...] will be hanging out in this thread.
    Does he know this, yet?

    Well, I guess he will, soon enough. Hi, Richard!

    Yeah, we sorted it out last night while you were unconscious.

    Hello Mr Stevens!

    How did you decide on the particular Sweeties art style, and roughly how long can it take to produce a single strip?

    Rich is the reason my phone is always vibrating with Twitter messages. I'd stop paying attention, but life would be less interesting.

    Greetings! I look forward to your postings.

    I'm here and making coffee LIVE on the nubber-wub. Howdy!

    Ted: It was primarily an accident. I had my first boring desk job and gave myself a month to design and start a comic strip while financially stable. (I'd been freelance before that) Robot love was the concept and I thought my inked art style was too typical and boring to get anyone to notice. A couple weeks into experimentation, I made some icons in Photoshop and the rest just happened.

    With a complete script I can theoretically do all the production on a strip in an hour or so. I've gotten a little too into editing and re-editing as I work, so a typical comic is more in the 3-hour range. There's a lot of tiny kerning, coloring and facial adjustments that I can't stop myself from doing. It is becoming an illness.

    I was worried about Twittering too much a few weeks ago, but the followers keep going up. It's the closest I've got to a talk show and stand-up routine right now.

    What webcomics do you guys read aside from FREAKANGELS? Ignore mine and list some favorites as we talk.

    Hello, R Stevens. I have no idea who you (yet) are, but anyone who bleeds bacon gets a chance to grab my attention.

    EDIT: My choice of webcomics are horrendously normal: CAD, Achewood, Overcompensating and Penny Arcade. Yes, I am ashamed.
  12.  (1620.12)
    A former colleague of mine spent about a week in the office going through the entire DS archive. Do you condone this behaviour?

    Some of my favourite webcomics are Lucid TV, Achewood and A Softer World. Yeah, I'd say those are the three.

    One webcomic I enjoy is Randall Munroe's poorly drawn but easily relatable xkcd. Did you ever get your chance to check out the ball pit? I seethe with jealousy.

    MB: We were at a talk in NYC a few weeks back where I blamed webcomics for the impending recession. So yeah, I condone that kind of behavior.

    There are worse ways to spend your days:

    Brandon! I got to talk to Randall at a show this weekend. The ball pit is open for discussion next month if there's time at ROFL CON. What a relaxed dude he is. Very approachable.

    Warren isn't kidding about reptoids and bacon. I love paranormal, conspiracy and edge science stories and will never turn away from bacon photos.

    I must hear more on the Reptilluminati!
  18.  (1620.18)
    So you are the target market for this product then. Mystery solved.

    Ooh, exciting times!

    Richard, thank you for colourful robottery you deliver daily. It does make my time on the internet a good deal more robotty. While you're here, I'd like to poke you a bit and say "More Torpor please!", because I miss that little guy.

    With regards to other webcomics, we had a discussion a few months ago on my Ell-Jay about how ace Scary Go Round is and why you're not such a big Achewood fan. I still think Scary Go Round is the business, and will continue to love Achewood, too.

    Also, I recently caught up on QC after taking a break for a few months. In about eighty strips, the action had moved forward I think 48 hours, so I'm figuring the odd burst of archive reading every few months is the best way for me to enjoy those adventures.

    I see the value in Achewood, it just began to leave me a little cold when it turned into the Ray Smookles Teh Awesome and Roastbeef has Mental Illness show. If I could be guaranteed Mr. Bear, Lyle and Phillipe once a week it would be a completely different story.
