Meet the people that inspired the
characters...

DJ
So what can I say about my own webcomic and its impact on my life? Ummmmm .
. . ok, nuthin', really. To be honest, this webcomic is just a silly little
thing that I like to do for fun. I hope no one's expecting fantastic
writing, |

|
and I certainly
hope nobody's expecting incredible art because I don't think this
comic shows off any skills I might have in either category. It's just for
fun, made to make my friends chuckle every now and then. I'm thrilled to
find that a broader audience has learned to love it too, though. I hope you
all plan to stick around for
three more years because I know the lives of the DTL cast are just gonna get
more interesting. And who knows? If it continues to progress at this rate
maybe it really
will become a showcase of art and writing. One can only hope.

So a little bird told me that I have to write a little bit about how it
feels to be involved with a webcomic. I don't have any weird tangeants to go
off on, I don't have any off-the-wall accusations to throw around, hell - I
don't even have |

|
any women to
show off as a trophy of my awesomeness (or lack of...?). No, I'm just
a normal girl with her hand in what could be the feel-good comic of the
year...
or it could be a lawsuit waiting to happen, if we don't stop stealing from
Kevin
Smith (we love you, man!). I'm just a girl whose creative web talents make
this
whole experience possible (because I do it for free). Yep, I'm just the
webmaster.
Seriously though... It's a very rewarding experience. I get to express my
creative
streak while creating an outlet for DJ's talent. Like I said, I do it for
free, but at
this point that's not a huge deal. It's just fun, and that's what this is
all about. It's
going to be interesting seeing my life paralleled on a comic strip -
something I
didn't ever think I'd be involved in, let alone a cast member of. Should be
very enlightening, seeing how DJ's vision of me gets translated onto paper.
I guess we'll
see how it goes! Questions, comments, love-letters.. direct 'em at me.
Hate mail... well, that can go in my in-box *points at trash can*. See ya!
DJ's comments: We do not "steal" from Kevin Smith! They are *homages*.
And you don't do it entirely for free. I pay ya back in lovin'.

Why do I like having a web comic
devoted entirely to me? Women. It's alllllllll about the women. They swarm
me. I am their god. You laugh, but you just wait. My magnificence and charm
will win every time. You are no match. You are merely female. My only regret
is that, |

|
though
wonderfully drawn, mere ink and paper cannot possibly grasp the awe of my
gorgeousness, or the power of my tail. Drawing the Line is the greatest
comic on the web today, and it's all because of me. You know I'm your hero.
DJ's comments: I've...created a monster... God help us all.

I must say that I'm very honored
to be a part of the cast of DTL. For someone to put our experiences down in
ink is very refreshing. Despite my character description, there hasn't been
any real show of their trying to corrupt me. I'll admit that they have been
able |

|
to corrupt me a little, but I've
held my own. I'm still a LOT better than the rest of
them :P As for what the hat and feather mean-- I borrowed it from my dad for
a camping trip six years ago and he hasn't seen it since. I still have it...
as a trophy on my wall.
DJ's comments: Crazy Christian with a Cowboy Cap! Yeah, you're a lot better
than
the rest of us, but I don't think that's saying all that much . . .

What can I say about
DJ, other than...THIEF! I was going to start a web comic based on life at
Ringling, and I had a whole bunch of ideas ready to go, and sketches of all
the characters, and then I find out that DJ beat me to it! Damn you, DJ! |

|
On the other
hand, I have five fingers. Seriously though,
it's flattering to be a cog in the well-oiled machine that is Drawing The
Line
(my comic was going to be called "Celebrity Suite", but whatever. I'm not
bitter).
At first, I thought only the art students would get all the inside jokes,
but apparently
the humour (yes, the Canadian humour, with a "u") is universal. I mean, as
universal
as college jokes can go. Did you know that Finland had a worldwide karaoke
championship, but they didn't compete against Japan because Japan refused to
enter the competition? You'd think they'd jump at the chance to shame the
other countries with their madd karaoke skillz. "Your rendition of Achy
Breaky Heart has brought dishonor and shame upon you and your family!" So
yeah. Also, waffle.
DJ's comments: Waffle Maaan! I am the waffler! Gold and crispy! Bad guys are
hist'ry! ......umm...anyways...Hey, don't worry, Ryan. You can still do your
planned webcomic of Ringling. Somehow I think we both have very different
points of view.

Hmm..OK What to say? Well, I'm supposed to say something about my character,
however my character doesn't do, or say very much. Just stand around and
look hot. Which is actually what I'm trying to get into (modeling). If you
want to |

|
know how good
the rendition of me is, well, it's very accurate. DJ's an absolutely awesome
artist, and a wonderful friend. I think he's doing a fantastic job with this
comic and I DO reccomend it to people who have not seen it yet, and remind
those
that have seen it to go back to it. So, thank you DJ (and all the others
that help)
for creating this comic. And everyone who reads this..well..ya'll already
know how great DTL is, so I don't think I need to say anymore!
DJ's comments: Why you're not *already* a model, I'll never know...
I think my daily hits are gonna double just by putting your picture on the
site. |
