The dude in the chair is me, or at least me as I looked when I first
began this comic strip in November of 1997. I'm wearing my cherished
Burzum T-shirt in this illustration. Burzum is a Norwegian Black Metal band.
Burzum's sole member, a Mr. Varg Vikernes, is currently serving out a 21-year
(life) sentence in Norwegian prison for murder and arson. You can read
more about Black Metal in this cool article I swiped from someone else's
Web page, that originally appeared in Spin.
This comic strip was drawn exclusively for my swell friend Megan's
zine, Besmirched. Besmirched is really cool, and is available
at better zine-peddlers everywhere. Or, if you want a sneak preview of
what's in store for you, you can try Megan's Website. Pay special attention
to the section on Big Eye art, because if you don't understand that, then
this comic strip probably won't make a lick of sense to you!
