Pretty much the answer to all those questions is yes :-P
It was actually my first real attempt at drawing myself, complete with large eyebrows and a horrendous collick. I guess it helps to be able to laugh at your own face.
aww, poor matt. okay, 2nd dorky question and I'm sure you get asked this often. have you ever drawn yourself into your own strip, like as a guest character? if so, can you share the link to see?
Hmm, yes and no. I refrain from putting myself directly into the story of the comic, but I do occasionally plop myself into comics in the filler section.
Although you did remind me to find people who want cameos in some upcoming pages... we can't have a mall with no random people in it, now can we? :-)
