A few answers to my most common questions!
Q: Can I be your girlfriend?
A: Girlfriend? Eeeew! Girls have coodies! Well, ok, so Cimbeline doesn't, but... no, I don't want a girlfriend! Gross!
Q: Can my pet be in your comic?
A: While I'd love to be everyone's friend, my comic currently has a fully cast, sorry!
Q: Who are all the other characters in your comic?
A: Well first there are my brother and sister, Reggie and Pixi, my good friends Zikk and Cimbeline and my mentor, Squeeky. Also you'll sometimes see Kookiez, my petpet. My mom doesn't own anyone save me, Kookiez, Pixi and Reggie, you can neomail the owners of the other pets if you have questions about them.
Q: Why don't you have wings in your comic?
A: Well, a few reasons, really. My wings are big and tend to take up a lot of room in the comic, and I don't use them very often anyway. Plus it makes it seem all the cooler when I turn into BuzzPoogle and can fly around!
Q: Who is BuzzPoogle?
A: BuzzPoogle is the coolest superhero in all of Neopia! He's my hero! I made him up one night after reading a Judge Hog comic.
Q: What is the Wall of Shame on your lookup for?
A: Those are the names of all the people who have stolen my artwork! I really don't like that. No one has permission to use my artwork for anything, unless I drew it specifically for them and gave them permission. You can put my adoptable in your shop or on your pets page, but you may not enter them in the art gallery or beauty contest.
Q: How can I get off the Wall of Shame?
A: You don't. It's that simple. Stealing artwork, or anything else, for that matter, and claiming it to be your own is plagiarism, and is illegal both on Neopets and in the real world. You can be sued or even arrested if you do that in the real world. No, this is not the 'real world,' but my mom and I are still very proud of our work, and we'd like credit for the time we put into it. If you don't want to be on the wall of shame, then don't steal my artwork!
Q: Is it hard to get a comic in the Times?
A: I found it pretty easy! Just make sure you follow the guidelines that Neopets gives you. Keep your comic no wider than 470 pixels, check your spelling, and try to keep the file size small.
Q: Can I do anything to help you out?
A: Yes! As a matter of fact, there is! Adding my petpage link to your pets page or shop would be great! Also, for artists, you could draw me some fan art! ^^ I love fan art! Thank you all, Neopia has been so nice to me!
Q: What do you use to make your pictures/comics?
A: My mom sketches them out in pencil, then inks them and scans them into the computer, where she uses Paint Shop Pro 7 or Adobe Photo Shop to colour them in.
Q: Can you make me a picture/animation/banner?
A: Very sorry, but my Mom and I are a little busy right now. She runs seven art galleries, keeps up with my weekly comic, and a comic series of her own, and runs a Neopets club on Deviant Art. We really don't have much time for requests.
Q: Can I do a pic for you?
A: Yes! I just love fan art! Send me the URL where it is posted, or you can ask my mom for her email address and send it to us that way! All fan art will be posted.
Q: How come you don't enter the Beauty Contest?
A: Well there's a lot of reasons. In the Beauty Contest, the good pics usually loose to the pics of people with lots of friends. I've won once, maybe I'll enter again some day!
Q: Can I be your Neofriend?
A: While I'd love to be everyone's friend, if I do not know you, your Neofriend request probably will not be accepted. My mom has over 200 Neofriends right now, and it's getting hard to keep up with them all.
Q: Were you painted or did you use the Rainbow Fountain?
A: My mom saved up all her NP to buy me a Faerie Paint Brush!
Q: How did you raise your stats?
A: My stats are the result of lots of time in the Academy, faerie quests, and visits to Clotzan's Shrine. After I reached level 20, I began training at the Mystery Island Training School. And no, I have never used the Lab Ray. :)
Q: What happened to your site contest?
A: Because of the site being remodeled, school, and my new comic, my mom hasn't had a lot of free time, so the award is not offered at the moment. This may change in the future.
Q: What should we call you?
A: Well while my full name is Rascalis, I like to be called Rascal. My mom, Mega_Flarex2, likes to go by Kay. But, any of those names are fine with us. :)
Q: Are you an artist?
A: Well... my mom says she is, and I like to say I am, so... yes!
Q: Do you have any other art galleries?
A: Yes, you can find pics my mom has done at http://Damphyr.deviantart.com, and all her Neopets pics at http://rascalis.deviantart.com
Q: Why do you dislike baby Neopets?
A: I just do. I think they look scary. It's not meant to be insulting to anyone, I just don't like them much.
Q: Did you draw all the pictures on your page yourself?
A: No, not all of them. My mom and I drew most of them, but there are pictures by other artists. They are credited and worked hard on their art, so please don't image steal. :)
Q: What about the animations? Did you make those, too?
A: Just like my regular pictures, there are a few animations that were done for me by other people! Those are located under my fan art section, and the artist is credited!
Q: Do you want to do an art trade?
A: Sorry, I'm a little too busy right now.
Q: How did you learn HTML?
A: My mom spent one very long summer teaching herself HTML, learning from the Neopets HTML Help section, WebMonkey.com and LissaExplains.com.
Q: Can you teach me HTML?
A: Sorry, but mom and I just don't have enough time. We will be happy to help if you have a specific question, but teaching it would just take too much time.
