2) PvP is enjoyed by thousands of people each day and arguably the top online comic in the gaming community. Could you share with us some history on how you got started and what was your inspiration for the strip.

I've been creating my own comic strips since the 4th grade. I drew comics all through elementary, high school and college. PvP started on MPOG.com, a now defunct gaming website that was looking for some cartoon content. It's popularity has been growing ever since.

PvP is heavily influenced by all the great sitcoms I grew up with. Cheers, Nightcourt and Newsradio are more a source of inspiration than any other comic strip or comic book. I love the theme of the office sitcom, where everyone is at odds with one another but deep down, their a family.
