What
made you come up with this idea for a comic? Why Teddy Roosevelt?
Well,
I had helped out some with Dan
Kent and Neobaka,
and I wanted to do my own webcomic by myself. I wanted to do something
random, and I had just finished reading "Theodore
Rex" by Edmund Morris, and so I thought Theodore Roosevelt
would make for some funny subject matter. ^_^ Besides, it gives
me a chance to practice / try to improve my drawing, and it makes
me a legitimate Keenspacer,
hehe...
How
long do you plan on making this comic for?
*shrug*
Who knows? Until I get bored with Teddy Roosevelt antics, I guess...
Are
you working with anyone else?
Not
really... unless anyone wants to do guest comics. ~_^ I got some
help from Spencer
King (aka "Crazykiltman") with designing the robot
El Presidente, but most of this I did on my own.
Teddy
Roosevelt, I can see... but why a robot?
Why
not? He needs something to fight bad-guys in, right?
Modern-day.
Teddy Roosevelt is brought back from the dead to do battle across
the universe! See above on "why Teddy Roosevelt?"
Are
you doing this because you have a strong interest in political figures?
Well,
I wouldn't really say I'm into politics more than anyone else, but
Teddy Roosevelt is an interesting character by himself. If you really
wanted to see some political-figure funnies then check out the webcomic
below the fold,
or the "Read
My Lips" videos at atmo.se.
They're pretty funny! ^_^
What
do you think T.R. would think of you doing this?
I
think he'd like it, lol. At least he'd think it's great that I'm
giving something like this a try...
"It
is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done
them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face
is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself
in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph
of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory
nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt
