Well that and I'm working on two new pieces simultaneously, both taking more time than I anticipated and I'd like to have at least one post up before this month is half over.
1. I have seen all 120 episodes of the ‘60s Batman TV Series with Adam West, while I have watched only about half of the episodes from the original Star Trek (45 of 80 at present). I don’t know whether that loses or gains me any nerd points.

2. I have never been outside of North America at any time in my life. Farthest out I've been is to some small islands in the Bahama area as part of a cruise to celebrate my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.
3. I’ve never driven on the highway by myself before. Its probably one of the reasons I’m not too keen on traveling.
4. I feel so exposed while wearing T-Shirts. I much
prefer collared shirts even when they have short sleeves. Though really, the
more layers the better for me.
5. I never got into drinking coffee, or even soda
for that matter. I usually just stick to water and sugar free lemonade most of
the time.
6. My title may be “illustrator”, but I consider
myself a “storyteller” first and foremost. When people ask what an illustrator
is, I often say that it’s a “narrative artist”.
8. I have written over one hundred original articles
for TV Tropes (119 at last count, not including many extensive edits).
9. I’m known for my exceptional oral hygiene. I’ve never had a cavity in my life.
10. According
the Meyers Briggs Personality Test I am an ISTJ (Introvert Sensing Thinking
Judging) also known as the Guardian-Inspector Type. This type is best known for
being orderly, dependable, practical and dutiful.
11. I have a sizable collection of movies, mostly titles made in the ‘40s and ‘50s.
The two most common genres in this assemblage include suspense horror and
romantic drama.

12. I
listen to a lot of instrumental music while I work on my art. My most played
songs include Alfred Hitchcock movie scores and soundtracks from the various Super
Sentai television series.
13. I
was interviewed for the PBS documentary “The Cartoonist: Jeff Smith, Bone, and
the Changing Face of Comics”. My comments were not included in the finished
film, but I can be seen in the foreground during the scenes they shot at the
Wexner Center.

14. Back when I lived in Columbus I kept a bowl of candies by the front door of my apartment to entice visitors to stay. One day I come home from class to see that the bowl is empty. I refilled it and went about my business. That night I woke up at 2:30 in the morning to a muffled “boom” noise. Confused I just went back to sleep only to discover the next morning that the bowl was empty again.
Curious, I filled it again, and the next morning again at 2:30 there was the same muffled “boom” sound again. I got out of bed and looked in the living room. The bowl was empty.
Alarmed, I imagined that there was a wormhole to hell opening in that room and would come back and swallow me up. I slammed and locked my bedroom door, booted up my laptop to tell everyone on Facebook that this would be my last night on Earth and waited in terror for what ever it was to come back and get me and then… nothing happened.
Recalling the incident to my mother, she claimed I made the whole thing up to try and get money out of her or something. Saying that I must have eaten it all and just forgotten about it. Thanks Mom.

15. I’m
right behind you…
Ha! Made you look!
Okay, okay, that one wasn't a fact. What else is there. Hm...
15 1/2. When I was a little kid, my Dad got me to eat my broccoli by telling me to pretend to be a dinosaur eating the trees. It appears to have worked.
