[This is where I answer all of your burning questions about
One Foot Under. Yeah, I didn't think you had any anyway.]
Q: Why is there a small 't' in the above title for this particular page?
A: Because I didn't feel like saying OFU; tOFU sounds neater. (Yes, neater is a word. I make these things possible.)
|
Q: Why am I making this comic?
A: Because there is currently a gun being held to my head by certain supposed friends, who are threatening that if I don't do it, I will be maimed in horrible ways.
|
Q: How did it all begin?
A: Well, I was sitting in the hall of the school, drawing, and I decided I wanted to create some comics based on the jokes from part of my website, Headtrip. And then it turned into my Creative Writing final. And then it turned into a website. Then it turned into a pile of insufferable papers in my lower desk drawer. Now it's trying to be a current project again, that whore.
|
Q: Do the people the characters are based off of really look like how they're drawn?
A: No, actually, most of the drawings don't correspond to any features in reality. In fact, most everything about them isn't true, such as none of us are sophomores, except Brandon (Garrett). But there are some true things, such as I am not as good-looking IRL as Keir (my character), and Lauren's (Rhiannon) boobs really are that big! *will probably be smacked by her if she sees this*
|
Q: Why do I draw everyone as sophomores if most of the people have already graduated from high school?
A: Because I was a sophomore when I created Headtrip, so I felt that was a good place to start my characters off. Besides, it gives me a lot more time to make jokes if they go through high school. High school itself is a total joke, after all. (I am also oh-so relieved to find that college is a joke too. Yay for the continuity of my comic.)
|
Q: Is any of the stuff in this thing real?
A: Yes, most of the stuff I draw is true; it really did happen at one time or another! ("Who the hell puts Mountain Dew in a Mountain Dew bottle?!" I wuv you, Dougy. *smirk*)
|
Q: What's with the weird-ass names everyone has? Do I have some sort of fetish?
A: All of the names I gave them are Scandanavian/Celtic/Gaelic. I have no idea why I chose to do that. And the only fetish I have is with your blood, preferrably while it's outside of your body.
|
Q: So what do those weird-ass names mean anyway?
A: I made a chart for you. Don't you just feel so special now? Some of them I picked because they're true to character, and some were just too ironically funny to pass up using.

Q: Why don't I ever draw backgrounds?
A: They take up too much of my time, and they aren't really that significant to the jokes. If I need 'em for a joke, I draw 'em. Simple as that. (Plus I'm really lazy and suck at drawing that kinda stuff.)
