befuddled creator and artist of the webcomic https://megatokyo.com

And when Khufu is NOT there... firing up Procreate while setting up some sorta working structure for comics again. We'll see how the setup for this fall works.

my desk with my ipad, running procreate, start of a sketch of Piroko on the ipad.

I have been actively trying to compartmentalize the chaos of things that whirl around my old head. When i was younger i could blaze my way through it and there wasn't so much. These days, i think this old man gets overwhelmed a lot and can't get near my maladaptive daydreaming headspace easily. :(

But the fun part is... I'm still here, i love drawing, i love doing MT, nothing fan-community related has impacted comic production, just life and stuff. To me, i'm still doing MT the way i always have. Which you have to admit, is pretty lame :)

its like I REALLY AM THAT LAME AND DISAPPOINTING, JUST LIKE PIRO. It wasn't acting, it was self expression :) There is NO WAY i could maintain the gifted 'aura of being awesome' that people applied to me. I tried, but I'm just me, and that never really changed.

sort of a "wow this guy is a loser and he writes this comic about his lame hobby stuff and hey i identify with that and this is great and its awesome and hes awesome for understanding us and now ive been reading this for year and why this guy is a lame loser duchebag idiot i hate MT now."

Lol. Kind of annoys me though. For years I've noticed some people online get very, very weird about you and Megatokyo. It seems to just be a regular symptom of the era we live in. If you create things publicly and are at all outspoken about your beliefs and experiences, some people will hate you.

the best, of course, was when one of his friends told his parents that Jack's dad was this manga webcomic guy who did Megatokyo, and the parent's response was "I can't believe you are friends with the son of that duchebag." Jack and I still LOL over this :P
