Sunday at Ten's FAQ

Ok. I give up. What is the significance of "Sunday at Ten?"

It started as the date and time when my group would get our D&D on.

Wow. That's kind of a letdown. I expected it to be something more interesting than that.

Ok. You caught me. It's a form of code. We always abbreviate "Sunday at Ten" as "S@10." Well, if you say that out loud, it comes out as "sat-ten" which, as we all know, is a code word for Satan. Considering that "Sunday at Ten" is when you should be at church, the whole S@10/Satan thing is really deep and profound. It is a layer of sardonic wit wrapped in a tortilla of irony and deep fried to make the Chimichanga of double entendre.

Really?

I've said too much already.

What is S@10 about?

I don't think I have a short answer to that. The comic is rooted in the gaming culture, both in terms of D&D and video games. But, we also use the comic as a commentary on Internet culture, a satire on men and women relationships and my disgust with some aspects of Western (American) values. It kind of started out as an excuse to draw boobs, but we occasionally have more to say than that.

It seems that you have two "illustration styles." One of them is vibrant, dynamic and cutting edge. The other looks as if it were drawn by a lobotomized pre-schooler, using crayon.

That really isn't a question.

Right. What's up with that?

If it is remotely artistic or pleasing to the eye, you have Don to thank. He is the artistic presence of S@10. In addition to doing the artwork for the strips, he is the genius behind the layout of the pages and the overall aesthetics of the S@10 experience. The "lobotomized pre-schooler" would be me. I'll have you know that I drew that with several hundred dollars worth of equipment. I'm too elitist to use crayon.

How do you make the comic?

I write 'em, Don draws 'em. I throw together an idea and Don works his artistic magic. During the artistic process, we'll see jokes that didn't exist in the script, which we'll add to the artwork. Don uses Adobe Illustrator because it works out well for this kind of thing. If I'm doing the art, I use Photoshop. Illustrator is really un-intuitive if you've ever used Photoshop.

Can you draw naked pictures of the Jenn or Tress for me?

Absolutely.

Wait. You're the one who sucks at drawing. Can you have Don draw me naked pictures of Jenn or Tress?

Oh no, you had your chance. Too late. I'm actually drawing Jenn making out with your mom. I think you'll be pleased.

What is your production schedule?

Monday-Wednesday-Friday, baby. On super rare occasions, we publish more than that. Both Don and I have day jobs, so we only have so much time to dedicate to the project, but to this point, we've kept the schedule pretty regularly.

Your "humor" involves a lot of sexism and the treatment of women as sex objects. Are you a sexist pig?

I'd guess that depends on who you ask. The way men and women interact is fascinating to me, mainly because it doesn't make sense. What is totally normal and reasonable to men is viewed as wrong by women, and vice versa. I think I summarize my views on the sexist nature of this strip here.

What is your pin-up schedule?

We'll have pin-ups on US federal holidays and on certain types of events that are "pin-upable." Hallmark or specialty Holidays (Halloween, Valentine's day) might get a pin-up, as well.

Can I link to your site?

Please do. Please forward this site to anyone you think would like it.

Will you put a link to mine?

That depends. Send me an email and discuss what you want to link to me.

How can light exist as both a particle and a wave?

There are some interesting paradoxes produced by the two-slit experiment, with regard to the dynamics of particle physics. Greene theorizes that particles are comprised of strings that vibrate in multidimensional space, far smaller than those we can notice, even with our most advanced supercolliders. It is that vibrational pattern which determines the nature of the particle, which in turn, dictates the way we it behaves in the portions of spacetime that we can detect.

Is there a way for me to give you my hard-earned money?

Nope.

I've heard about Sunday at Ten merchandise. Does such a thing exist?

Yes, but not in the ways you're thinking. We have official S@10 shirts, but they are only available through special circumstances, such as contests or as rewards. We use these shirts as a bribe currency for when we ask the readers to do things for us.

Why doesn't your site fit on my browser? My screen resolution is less than 1280x1024.

During the site design, we decided that you need to have at least 1280 wide in order to play ball. Them's how it works.
