Pseudomanifold

First of all: Your comics are just awesome—I have the Atheist Apocalypse as a poster and consider it to be one of my most prized possessions.

Since your comics seem to use so many different topics: What are your main sources of inspiration? I am asking because the comics range from beautifully-crafted, somewhat haunting tales to the utterly bizarre. How do you manage to cover this spectrum so convincingly?

Also, another question because I feel lucky: Do the characters represent people you know? Or parts of yourself? Or different versions of you? I so hope that the sphinx is an author avatar or based on someone you know :-)

Thank you so much for doing this!

Two questions from me:

• Do you generate your own energy? If so, any tips you might want to share?
• How did you get into falconry? I am both interested in your personal background, if you choose to divulge as well as in the "technical" details, i.e. "What do I have to learn to become a falconer"

Thank you for doing this...your blog is now in my blogroll ;-)
