Well not really, but my friend does an online webcomic and put my wife and I in it (a recount of something that happened to us while he and his GF were visiting us in Vegas).

this is the webcomic (Just A Bit Off) - http://jeffzugale.com/justabitoff/archive_page.php?comicID=50 - his webserver seems to be a bit off too right now.


oh and for no reason here is a picture, we had just gotten, of my wifes friend working on the mars rover at JPL:

I thought that was neat and would share.

I don't even wanna take a whiz on this. I used to DREAM of taking a whiz on this!


Er, interesting. On that note, your caricature looks a lot like somebody I used to know...

I've been to that bar. The drinks are served in something roughly as large as a bowling ball.

I was stoked to be cartoonized by a professional. He didn't even tell me he did it. I had to check out his webcomic to find out.

So I did good? Alright! :)

me and a couple of my friends were convinced once that a we were the stars of a newspaper comic. almost an exact trascript of a conversation we had about potatoes in the queue at blockbusters appeared in the newspaper comic a few days later. it was uncanny! the characters even looked like they may have been us, well it was two girls and a guy anyway. never got any proof though.

anyway, cool comic, lol at your bit, oo! shiny! at the rover, and wow! that mediterranean restaurant menu looks awesome! :D

Just after his visit to Vegas I saw this for the first time and thought of him:

He has another webcomic if you want me to link it.

He also did did a comic book called Kindergoth.

Jeffs comic is "semi-autobiographical" and he says a lot of them are conversations he's had with others verbatim. I bet a lot of comic draw inspiration in the same way so there's a very good chance that yes it was you in that comic!

That Mediterranian place is AWESOME! They've never dissapoint me. That day we went there with Jeff and his GF we had the lentil soup and I must say it's the best lentil soup EVER! Although sadly later I looked online to find out that it has chicken stock in it. oh well, at least I didn't get sick.

I hope you're talking about the head that's sitting on his neck...

Knowing me, thats a valid question to ask

*sighs autographs* :D

well Jeff probably drew me as good looking so that I didn't get mad at him for portraying me in a more honest light :p


Oh, yeah? Well, I'm going to be in a movie!

You're famous! *asks for an autograph*

What movie? Don't even tell me its an "art film" :eek: :p :D :fluffle:

*grants an autograph, but looks at common-folk with contempt*

No, not an "art film", but a really low-budget horror film. I run around the mall getting chased by some psycho in stage makeup.

It was so much fun! It was ridiculous, it was one o' clock a.m. on a school night, and it was eighty percent sitting around waiting for instructions, but above all else, it was fun! Of course it's my career calling...Why would anyone do anything else?

Why I am not believing this picture at all?

Srsly, they don't assembly rovers with fat men in sweat pants. (Or at least they didn't).

If this is true, then good job on compromising the whole biosciences package.
