Obviously I'm french :)

I live in Paris but I'm planning to move to Montreal in a few months.

I'm a production designer for music videos, commercials, TV sets and stuff like that on french television.

I live in Puebla, Mexico. 22 years of age. I'm a Graphic and Multimedia Design student. I work as a computer salesman and repairman and I also do some stuff for a local TV station, mainly graphics for the evening news and help with the maintenance of the corporate intranet.

I am a Web Developer for GarageGames, in Oregon. I've been out of touch with comics for while since me previous job didn't pay very well. I'm hoping to start collecting again, if I can figure out what's going on these days. I also play lots of video games.

We're in San Francisco and are quite obviously web developers. We used to work for a big company building big sites and now we're on our own building smaller sites.

I'm 27 now, grew up near Washington DC and moved to LA when I was 22 to go to film school. I ended up building a site about movies instead (guzzlefish.com, which no longer exists) which was bought by CNET in 2004. The deal got me into San Francisco and it's where I met up with Ethan. He and I worked together on TV.com and MP3.com sleeping under our desks as we put together big monster sites with 3-4 other dudes.

Predictably we got kind of sick of working for a big company and left early in 2005 to do this stuff. ComicVine is the site I've wanted to build since I was 17 years old. It took me 10 years to have the guts to do it.

I'm 19, a first year in college and I'm in Florida. Right now I'm trying my hardest not to grow up.

Not sure yet. I took a bunch of social science classes my first semester and those seemed really interesting to me so I wanna continue that sort of thing, just don't know for sure.

I'm 18 years old, and living in San Diego, California. I want to move back to Minnesota, but it'll have to wait.

I graduated last year, and right now I'm working almost 24/7 to support my mom and my girlfriend, and so that I can have the time to continue my education. I'm working on getting into graphic design/advertising/marketing, but more ideally I'd like to hone my more artistic techniques and get into comic books professionally.

So far I'd have to say that we are some of the coolest people on the planet. Hey, Wengistein, is there anywhere I can listen? As far as your question I have been playing for about a decade, but the first year(ish) wasn't too serious.

"but more ideally I'd like to hone my more artistic techniques and get into comic books professionally."

I'll allow this, but on one condition: that you use ScoodleDaddle as your moniker so that when you become famous I can tell everyone that I meet that I talked to you on the internet : ) Anyway, that's pretty sweet. Hope it works out for you.

Any chance we could see some of your stuff, ScoodleDaddle?

Listen? No one in the band is employed right now, so we're pretty low on money. The point is that we don't have any money to buy mics for my drumset (or for any other instrument). I could perhaps record on my friend's cam, but it would really low quality of course. So if you could sit through low quality, then yeah, I would be happy to let you listen.

Ten years: PHWOAR! Harhar, that's awesome. You would definitely shred like no tomorrow. :P I've been playing my instrument for about 3 years and 10 months now.

I'll point you to my profile, where it says that I'm a "shoddy" cartoonist. The thing this, is that I've actually never taken an art class. People always think I have, but everything I know I've taught myself. So nothing I do really fits into the general conventions or rules of drawing thumb. Also, I lack fundage, so I don't have any fancy tools, just a pencil and paper.

I'd put some of my slightly better looking stuff up here, but I have no scanner at the moment. Or enough paper to spare.

Bump. Come on, there are more registered users than this.

Hey, Im 33 and have a wife and baby girl. I've lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 10 years now. Before that I went to college in Illinois (where I met my wife) and I grew up in New York state about 2 hours north of Manhattan.

I'm a self taught web engineer, I graduated college in 97 with an English degree and literally didnt know how to turn on a computer when I arrive in california as long-haired unemployable college grad traveller. Dave (Captain Cascader) and I build web sites. I've worked for a slew of internet companies throughout the dot boom, then for myself after the dot bomb! I met Dave at CNET 2 years 3 years ago, and a year ago we left and decided to try building sites on our own.

"I'm a thirty-something year old living north of San Fran. I married Red L.A.M.P.'s sister some time ago and have the mutant power to teach Mathematics to high schoolers. I have a three and a half year old girl and have been reading comics pretty much non-stop since 1984."

Does your daughter ever get curious about those comics you've got?

I'm a 27 year old Software Engineer in Omaha, NE. No wife, no kids (don't really want any of those). :P
