1. What's with the picture of the "Day Old" baby with a steaming steak cut from its stomach and laying to the side?

As Mr. Hobson correctly stated in the Friday, Oct. 29th, 1999 issue of Linux Today,

The cut up figure is "D.B." (as in Dough Boy).

 The object next to the body is D.B.'s chef's hat.

 They were pretty clear to me even without the "cast of
 characters" briefing.

So the figure was not a dead day old baby.... the caption "Day Old" actually refers to the strip archive, which may or may not be a day old.

Sorry to disappoint you.... but other than a couple of rejected strips, I've not drawn many hurt babies...

(Granted, a dead baby steak would be awful tender...)

Well... it might be!

Actually, I call them "Day Old" to cover my ass in case I forget to update the site one day!

Yes.

Yes.

What...... it can't be both? Damn.... I didn't know that... I guess I'll have to start thinking more narrowly.

Maybe I'll just start making a daily comic strip about cooking dead babies......

Well, that's a fair question. Actually, my first Linux related comic strip was October 12th, 1998. I did an entire week of them. They were not received well, and so I gave up making more Linux comics. Then, under a year later, I found that there was a fairly large group of Linux users on the internet linked to these comics. On a whim, I did some more Linux comics, and they were received very well... since then my site stats of shot up, and I've decided to make my comic have more of a Linux focus.

Take a look at them here.
