All of the following are what seem to be the most common quotes people say towards me, whether they mean it or not. In my boredom I have catalogued most of those here, or at least the ones I wish to actually mention. Why? To show you what goes through my mind every time you say one of these things. Nothing I do will actually be able to stop any of you; in fact, I realize that showing you this will probably just further fuel your desire to say these. Go ahead and burn them out if you want me to mentally add idiot points to you each time. Either way, you probably underestimate what I'm thinking whenever you say these. They each stick to my mind in different ways. That is not a good thing.
So now for the quotes...
"D blocks!!!"
Ironically, this would be an excellent title for a rock CD.
"You have so many comics/ too many comics/ Do you have a life?"
I know I have over 90 comics, but I have made those very slowly. It's time for some simple calculations. Take the time I started this comic series, which was around August of 2003. Now estimate how many days are between that and today. Divide those days by the total amount of comics I've created so far. The result you get is about 1 comic every 9 days. If you still don't think that's a slow pace, keep in mind that any cartoonist writing for a newspaper has to make comic strips every day. Because of this, they have to use any idea they get, including weak ideas. On another note, people wonder why I want ideas from them but then never create a comic on it. I do actually listen to your ideas, but there's going to be a low chance that I'll actually turn your suggestion into a final comic. I only finalize ideas that I imagine are humorous enough to make people really laugh. If I was more desperate, I would draw my weaker ideas, but I have no deadlines or demands to meet.
"Do you like [name] / Do you want to go out with [name]?"
Think of any girl that I talk to even occasionally. At least once a week, and usually more commonly than that, somebody will ask me one of these questions about that person. I've already written things that say why I don't want to do this... at least not in high school. Far too pointless. And if I haven't met any miracle that would actually make me take back the things I've told myself in the first 90% of high school, I doubt the last 10% of it is going to have any outstanding revelations.
"This is too confusing...!"
Specifically, people say this towards my games, often because they try to soak in too much at the same time and they don't actually read the instruction sheets because there's too much stupid writing on them. I would normally be able to tolerate this just fine, since I learn best through interactive tutorials rather than reading a set of rules. However, I've had several people give this response when I show them the most basic of my current games, The COW. I really don't understand how on earth this game could overwhelm anybody's head. Exactly how hard is it to comprehend two rules? That's less than checkers. Give it a chance; don't be scared of it.
"Did you copy TPMC from Warner Brothers?"
I'm seriously wondering how some of you were actually smart enough to make it to high school. Do a quick internet search on the history of Warner Brothers, then try isolating "TPMC" or any of its characters, and...

Nothing, you idiots.
Until you find some proof that, for some unexplained reason, my own original idea that I've said has been inspired from various sources and eventually shaped into my own style could have possibly ever be copied from one large company, and that proof is shown directly to me, your claims are nothing. If you aren't able to say something intelligent, then the least you could do for the good of all people is to shut up.
"Where do you get the ideas for your comics?"
Anywhere. Mostly, however, my comics like to make fun of something. This is why stupid people entertain me so much sometimes - good inspiration.
"How do you think of all these games?"
This is not as easy to answer as the comics question is. I kind of just have to work from scratch. Again, my ideas get inspired from other sources but are not direct copies at all. I try my best to put my own original touch into both the rules and styles of the game. As of now, I've still yet to come up with an idea that's as simple yet still fun as The COW. The idea for that game I came up with in 7th grade, forgot it for a while, and revived it in the middle of high school. If you don't actually know what this game is, ask. It's always with me.
"Why are you always so mean?"
Eh, do you really know what "mean" is if you ask this question?
"You're doing this just to get attention."
Say what? There are multiple things I try to do, yes. My games, comics, articles, stories and puzzles are to attract an audience; you are correct there. However, I want this audience to appreciate my creations, not myself. Publicity and popularity are not things that I strive for every moment of my life. This isn't the main time things like this are said, though. Many occasions, especially during school hours, I tend to reserve myself more often or create something privately. This is not because I am trying to secretly gain anybody's attention; I am trying to get away from you, geniuses. My messages are direct. I ignore you, I wish to be alone. Isn't that simple? If you want cryptic messages and indirect commands, wait for my puzzle.
