Hooray! We’re back in the house like we never left. We’ve got a whole slew of questions for you guys today, many of which come from a dude named Melvin Scotland. Apparently he’s named after a character in a Charles Dickens play.

What is some advice you wud give to an aspiring web comic artist?

Victor: Find a friend who can draw.

Calvin: And a friend who can write.

Victor: That’s not entirely necessary.

Calvin: Dude, have you read any of the posts down there?

Victor:…Words hurt, Calvin.

How do you come up with your hilarious ideas?  Seriously.  How?  Is there a book?  Can I borrow some?  I need to see inside your head.  Let me look.

Victor: Most of those “ideas” are culled from our lives. Chris and Kevin are simply telling the stories that we told them.

 Walt: Of course, some stories are exaggerated…

Victor: But generally it’s all stuff that happened. Except for the malaria thing, I guess. But that would be pretty cool. Get it?

Walt: You can borrow ideas from pretty much anywhere. If we tell you a story about how, say, I threw a pancake at Calvin, then you can turn that into comedy gold. It’s up to you!

 Victor: We’re going to move right on past the “looking in the head” thing…

Is it okay if I dance while I write this?!  (Please note that I am now dancing).

Warren: Note to all readers: this is now the standard way to ask a question.

 Mick: Not only to us, but in general. If you aren’t foxtrotting while asking a question, you won’t receive an answer.

Warren: I’m glad we could do this for society.

Mick: It really does feel good to give.

I feel like all the stories are hinting at an overarching story ark that arches over every comic thus far in arch ark form.  Is this true?  Is my hunch right?  WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!!!

Calvin: This is like a terrifying glimpse into the fanmail of J.J. Abrams. And in typical J.J. Abrams style, I will say only this: pay close attention to the color scheme in the second panel of every comic. Therein lies your answer.

Victor: Of course, the real answer won’t come for another four years. ZING!

Have the cast of ominousknife ever seen Serenity?  If so, what are their thoughts on it?  Actually, what are my thoughts on it?  YOU GUESS NOW!

Mick: Most of us haven’t seen Serenity, but we have seen a far superior show, though you probably haven’t heard of it.

Victor: Yeah, Hiatus is (well, was) where it’s at. Man, that show was so good…

Calvin: The only thing it lacked was a gorgeous kung-fu geisha prostitute who used a crossbow.

Victor: Dude, that’s something that every show needs.

Calvin:: And I’m guessing that what you’re thinking has to do with exactly what we’re talking about. And if you weren’t, you are now! BOOYAH!

Also, if I were going through your trash and found a picture of you, and decided to paste my head over it, would that be considered a federal offense?

Warren: No, not a federal offense. However, it would be considered infringement and, depending on how ugly you are, defamation of character.

Walt: I put my face on other people’s pictures all the time. It’s a heck of an improvement.

Well, that was a good time, wasn’t it? WASN’T IT? Please say yes. I’m desparate for approval. Anyways, our next question comes from E.T., who’s taken time out of her busy–wait, girls read this? FANTASTIC!

Not to seem like a overbearing stalker-ish fangirl, but…OMGOMGOMG, you know Hope? Hope Dodge?

Calvin: Two things: Yes, we do know Hope Dodge, unless that’s some strange conjugation of a verb. That is to say, I know Hope Dodge, but I’ve never Dodged Hope.

Victor: Can someone please give this man what he deserves for that?

Walt: Yeah, we know her. And Oliver. Actually, That kid paid me twenty bucks to eat a pickled ham in one sitting. Totally worth it.

Calvin: And don’t worry about being an overbearing stalker-ish fangirl, we appreciate all the fans we have. Except for Josh. I hate that guy.

And that’s a wrap for this week’s (and last week’s) Ominous Questions! Remember, we’re everywhere you go so hiding is useless!
