A combination of things I can't be bothered telling everyone in person, and things I want to tell everyone whether they want to hear it or not.

I'm big in Europe

A week or so ago I was chatting to davyd, and he mentioned the wierdness of having fans in Finland or something. "Gee", I thought "That'll never happen to me." Well it has! Kind of...

I got emailed (at my maths address, for some reason) by a spanish guy wanting to put my Old Ones picture on his Lovecraft Page. I said yes, and he replied gratefully and full of enthusiasm about me drawing some more and joining the forum despite the fact I speak absoltely no spanish. So I had a look, and with the help of babelfish found this message. The incomprehensibility of the translation of his translation of my email indicates how well babelfish works :)

I emailed my handy neighbourhood spanish postgrad to ask if they really do think I'm a professor, and also to check if they're unaware that my comic was meant to be silly and humourous :)

Edit: It turns out "professora" just means teacher, so thats ok. Also I should make it clear that whats above is the babelfish translation, I'm sure the original spanish is quite well written :) (Certainly if the english sections of the site are anything to go by)
