It’s not fame vs. skill.  Before you completely disagree with it.

(And yes, the axes are switched, but otherwise the joke doesn’t work.)

You’ve never wondered if you were being insulted in disguise?

Did you know music is still played on the radio?  Ever since I first went to college, I’ve kind of forgotten that that is true, or that there are even non-college stations devoted to it.

I know where I fit on this curve, and even before our new baby came along, I was far, far to the left.  I like greeting 2 AM too much.  If you can be friends with a minute of the day, I am friends with a minute of the day.

Is there anything more obnoxious than a hardcore morning person? Maybe someone pretending to be a hardcore morning person?

Good morning, everyone.  I’m Dante Shepherd.  You may know me from the webcomic “Surviving the World”, or perhaps you’ve just seen my face around the internet and asked yourself, ‘who is that charming, dashing scientist gentleman?’

As I’ve got a few of my chart comics in the soon-to-be New York Times best-selling book “I Love Charts: The Book”, Jason was kind enough to ask me to be a Chartist-In-Residence for the day.  So I’ll be pulling some of my favorites from my archive and sharing them with you.  If you’ve got a question, a query, a comment, or something else desperately on your mind, pass it along.

I run my comic like a classroom - anyone who reads it beyond the fourth wall is sitting amongst the rest of the students - so let’s get started, shall we?  Sit down, pencils ready, and Chad, if you don’t knock it off, I’ll have you thrown out.
