I've been wearing a beard (and mustache) for about a year and a half — since before <A HREF="http://satisfactorycomics.blogspot.com/2007/07/satisfactory-comics-7-may-2007.html" REL="nofollow"><I>Satisfactory</I> #7</A>. <BR/><BR/>I'm up in Vermont now, but still too surrounded by cardboard boxes to put together a proper post. I can say this, though: it's a nice place. I'm looking forward to getting to know it better.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529618611083147320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-58431438826944960172008-06-28T03:12:00.000-04:002008-06-28T03:12:00.000-04:00Is it bad that my first reaction was: Wait, Isaac ...Is it bad that my first reaction was: Wait, Isaac has facial hair now?!

Vermont is beautiful. <BR/><BR/>I think that while Damien Jay's cartoon best exemplifies what your move is going to look like, Shawn's best captures what your luddic attitude toward cavorting with a lake monster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-21723109168478913822008-06-18T08:50:00.000-04:002008-06-18T08:50:00.000-04:00Nice, Kaiser! I've seen most of these before, but...Nice, Kaiser! I've seen most of these before, but not, in fact, all of them, so I'd like to thank you for gathering up these postcards in one, um, post. (I'm seeing Jesse's and Wiegle's for the first time, and they're big fun; there's a real pair of themes, here, isn't there, O rider of strange beasts and employer of cartoon movers?).<BR/><BR/>My first reaction was to admire and enjoy how fun and well-designed almost all of these are. My second reaction was to recognize that the exception to the good-design standard is my own cluttered drawing. In other words, I can tell who the professionals are here! You can be proud that they're your friends, collaborators, and even former students.<BR/><BR/>Finally, to answer your closing question, I think that Shawn Cheng's likeness looks the most like you. Whether or not that matters is a thorny subject, actually. For the purposes of a moving postcard, where the images are all basically one-offs (and single pictures at that), I don't think it really matters. We know who the main actor is in these scenes, after all.<BR/><BR/>It might matter more if you were trying to tell a story about yourself, particularly non-fiction. It still might not entirely matter--Lewis Trondheim is not, as far as I know, a bird--but I still chafe at what I took to be a somewhat irrelevant objection when a reader of the first version of SatCom #1 protested that my self-caricature didn't look like me. On the other hand, I improved the likeness in the second version of that issue, so I can't have disagreed altogether with the objection.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, these are lots of fun and I look forward to receiving Vermont moving card #2!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718383312170645138noreply@blogger.com
