Comments for Family Man http://quirkybird.podbean.com A podcast answering reader questions about the webcomic "Family Man" by Dylan Meconis. Among other silly things. Sat, 18 May 2013 23:54:37 +0000 http://podbean.com/?v=3.2 Comment on Bite Me! Part One by Claire (no, really - that actually is my name) http://quirkybird.podbean.com/2009/02/11/bite-me-part-one/#comment-189416 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:05:50 +0000 http://quirkybird.podbean.com/2009/02/11/bite-me-part-one/#comment-189416 Delightful podcast! I think my favorite French error in "Bite Me" would had to have been the sign for the "Festival de Garlique." Not the same thing as a "fete d'ail," not at all. I sincerely hope you follow through with that "Bite Me, I'm French" bumper sticker. My tiny Honda would wear one with pride! By the by, I was so excited to see (at least some of) your characters return with "Family Man." You comic is invariably one of the highlights of my Wednesday - tres bien fait! Delightful podcast!

Just to make this world slightly more interesting and interacting - I thought of making a small sound, so that you know of people who are listening to your Podcasts. This time you have reached a pair of ears in Finland. It is very grey here at the moment and birches are naked due to autumn. It is very nice and depressing - fine day for writing and working and gazing. I've been enjoying your pages and wavy way of words with morning coffee and just admired the way how Family Man has a good grip. You have a fine flow. As I'm always interested in the surroundings and things that inspire and affect storyteller's work; I have two questions for you, yes! Here they are - 1. Does the characters that you create have their counterparts in real life near you? 2. Do you mirror yourself with your work? If not - what do you see now.. Thank you for the pages and fascinating noses! -T Greetings, lovely lady.

I have a question. In this podcast episode, you emphasized that Family Man could basically be seen as an alternative universe to Bite Me (but you reserve the right to change this at any time, etc). I was wondering, then, why you chose to carry the same characters from Bite Me on to Family Man, instead of creating whole new characters. Was there a reason behind this? Love the great job you're doing, and incredible artness! Hi Dylan! I have a question.

You're an awesome comic book author/illustrator and I look forwards to reading your future works. Anyways, my question is, have you ever read the comic book Maus? If you have, what did you think about it? If you haven't then I suggest you do...I think you'd like it! Once again, love your work. Sending love your way from UK! xox Hey,

I have been a long-time lover (and lurker!) of your comics. However, I am not posting this in direct response of your art. I would like to thank you for introducing me to Middlemarch! I have read it once and am now reading it again; without the tantalizing quotes on your livejournal I would have never bothered to pick it up. So, thank you! And, please continue your inspirational, hysterical, fabulous work and commentary. Sincerely, Emma (Victoria, B.C) Hello,

Best quarter of an hour I've spent on the internet all week, good on you. So, as a question, how much are your characters your own personal creation, and how much of them came from this world, especially working in historical fiction where there seem to be a lot of definite guidelines?

It's nice to have a voice to go with the imagery and you sound just like I thought you should ;-) Good luck mark Hi Dylan I’ve been stalk-^H^H^H^H^H following your work since you were in grade school and before the nefarious Japanese took over your site for a while.

I completely understand what it's like to be walking around with Not Really Real people. And, oddly enough, it turns out that you sound rather like one of my girlfriends older sisters (who is about double your age), a dancer/musician/artist/writer that recently moved to, you guessed it, Portland.

I'd take the raygun too, though I might be tempted by a laser-axe. No, I don't have anything much of substance to add here, I just wanted to say hi. Keep up the great work. ;) Love it.
