For example, I <i>love</i> doing the short fiction pieces on this site. In fact, it's interesting how much less critical and neurotic I am about them than I was about the finished result of this strip, when one considers that this website is all me, whereas in The Girly Comic, there are many other contributors to distract from my stuff (positive or negative). Rich - Heh. Good question, and no. Charley drew Steve from the following description: "He’s got mid-length black hair. He’s not a strapping lad, but he’s still taller than Julia, and a bit chunkier, too. Not fat, just ordinary. Steve is wearing casual clothes… black jeans, logo tee-shirt" The reason I find it funny that you asked is that there's more than a passing resemblance between George and myself (more obvious when we were younger, mind), and as such, Steve kind of looks a bit like me, as well. However, Charley and I have never met face to face, and as far as I know, he hasn't got the first clue what I look like. It's a coincidence that the long, black hair he gave Steve is so curly, but I like it. George – Oh, yeah, I agree. For example, I love doing the short fiction pieces on this site.

Just that there's still loads of value in the small stuff. By that, I don’t mean don’t do the big stuff. Just that there’s still loads of value in the small stuff.

Hmm. There truly is a positive philosophical view on everything, isn't there? George – That is a good point. Hmm. There truly is a positive philosophical view on everything, isn’t there?

I've seen it in print now, and while I think everyone has done a good job on it, there are choices that I made that I wish I didn't. Which sounds incredibly precious when you're talking about a two page strip, but what can you do? I will make better choices next time! Hopefully, readers will have the patience to do that.
