It's Cool to Lie

This is the last comic of what I like to call the "intro arc". I'm not going to bother introducing the characters more than I already have. You've got a pretty good handle on these guys anyway, right? Good.

Some of you have been asking me if Niego is based on real people and events. The only answer to this is "Yes." John Niego is a real person that I keep in my basement and beat with a bullwhip when I'm low on material for the comic. He's screaming for attention right now from the cage I keep him in. He's such a ham.

In all actuality, Niego is about 25% real, 70% fiction, 5% bad 'shroom trip. John Niego sort of speaks for me. I don't look much like him. Well, I kind of look like John Niego after he swallowed a 150 pound man. Leland is based off my best buddy, whom I think enjoys the current anonymity, but he does post in the forums under "Leland". Libby is no one in particular. Make of that what you will.

I will see you folks on Friday, with a slightly new and improved art style. Be sure to check back. Your life may depend on it. …Well it might!
