What? Bob Collins reads this
What? Bob Collins reads this blog? I'm thrilled; I don't know what to say.
Bob's a good friend of mine and former roommate. Aside from my current roommate-slash-love-of-my-life, Bob holds the title of Roommate Who Lived with Matt for the Longest. Bob was the inspiration and idea-man behind Buzz & Mr. Moog, the extremely popular comic that I drew for The Daily Texan. Nary a day passed that I didn't run a comic through the Bob Test. If Bob laughed, I knew I had a hit, even if it was only he who laughed when the comic hit the papers. Sometimes -- and this was rare -- Bob would laugh so hard... he would spill his beer. Considering the fact that he always had a beer in-hand, I knew I had genuine comedy on my hands.
Further, in my ever-expanding quest for personal fame and attention -- and to provide you with entertaining and thoughful commentary on the world today -- I direct you to visit the site of one Bryan Baskin. The first guy I knew who even had a web page, he is the brilliant mind behind the Clubbing Baby Seals Webpage, which, predictably, is, and was, a much-misunderstood resource on the practice of, you guessed it: clubbing baby seals. (How does this fit in with the whole "fame" thing? The theory is that BBaskin will link to me for the prominent mention on the page here. Yep, that's how the internet works -- just get people to link to you, and you'll never have to work another day in your life!)
More shenanigans to come. In the meantime, please amuse yourself with some neat T-shirt designs. I'd get one if I weren't so boring in my choices of outerwear.
