Actually, to be honest, its not just about me but some of the other real life conterparts of my characters as well. As you all know from my big and bold banner on the previous page, I am James Thompson, known to some as Jimmy. I am 22 years old as of now and living in a shabby portion of my mother's home (that's right ladies.. now form a line so we can organize the chaos). I have dreams of quiting my job and becoming a writer one day but until that happens, my occupation will be a computer op for the local bank. I live in Bermuda by the way. If you don't know where it is, just find a globe and look for the smallest dot in the ocean you can find, chances are it will be Bermuda. <p> In reality, I do live with the lovely Holly and she is just as much of a bitch in the comic as she is in real life. Actually, i think she is more of a bitch in person since I've never had her attack me and spill my precious bodily fluids in the comic. She is voilent, someone please go get help before she reads this or I will not live to draw another comic! But once you get past all the sudden spasms of unbridled violence, she can be actually quite helpful. In fact, were it not for her random phobias and constant worrying, I would not have come up with quite a few comic ideas. AW, I'm being to harsh on her. She really is a sweet person and I love her to death. She's the best friend anyone could ever wish for so all her faults which I grossly exaggerated are well worth it. <p>And then there's Kel, a good friend of mine that I've known since high school. The two of us were always an odd pair since he was like 6 foot 5 and I was like 5 foot 6. It was quite unerving at times. Ah, just imagine my glee when I met Holly who stands at a mere 4 foot 9. For once in my life, I felt like a giant. <p> Anyway, thats it for now. I'm sure I'll be adding more. Or maybe deleting some after Holly sees some of her less than flattering descriptions. Please pray for me.
