Hejibits

Q: Where did you get the name “Hejibits?” I would like to name my firstborn after your website but I don’t know what to tell him/her when s/he inevitably asks me why s/he has such a sweet name.
A: It’s a combination of two internet handles I once used.

Q: What do you use to make your comics?
A: Adobe Flash CS3 with a Wacom Bamboo Fun (old model) tablet. If you aren’t familiar with any art-related programs, I’d suggest avoiding Flash and beginning with SAI or Photoshop or something. Flash is riddled with bugs, which don’t ever get fixed despite the more recent terrible interface overhauls CS4/CS5 releases.

Q: I’m tired of dumb faces! When will you make comics with actual substance?
A: lol

Q: Why do/did you make comics about your (’09-’10) roommate? Do you hate him?
A: I don’t hate him; he’s a really nice guy but has an astonishingly bad sense of humor/social interaction. These grueling situations provide fodder for amusing comics (all of which are based on actual events, give or take a few exaggerated facial expressions/blood splattering), and so I make them. They are far less insulting than they could be, as I typically only make comics based on what he does in front of others. He also sings all the time, which is really annoying. No one should ever do that. Including you.

Q: Can I post your comics on another website?
A: I usually don’t mind as long as you credit me properly, preferably by linking to the original post (not the image directly). Needless to say, please don’t crop out the URL/title/credit/etc. from the image.

Q: I have so much money, but I don’t know what to do with all of it! Your advice?
A: There is a PayPal “Donate” button on the right sidebar, with which you are free to surrender as much money as you wish! You don’t even need a PayPal account to donate! Wow!
