Is it just the light?
« on: April 09, 2009, 05:49:18 AM »
 If he took the hard hat off, would Driggs bear a certain resemblance to a certain webcomic author, illustrator, and all-around good guy? Is he using a mirror to draw these?

I don't think so, Tim.

(Yes, that was a 90's sitcom reference. Please don't hurt me.)

I won't hurt you, but I will ask you to explain? I've been living in Japan -- I don't recognize the reference. Sorry.

I don't think so, Tim was a reference to Home Improvement a sitcom where the main character Tim Taylor is an inept bungler; clumsy, prone to use a axe where a needle is the appropriate tool, and dense on social issues.  He is a spoof of the DIY genre hosts.

Everyone in his life responds to his more ridiculous suggestions and opinions with, you got it, "I don't think so,Tim."

When you put it that way, it makes it sound harsh.  :-[ I didn't mean to be mean, I just don't see the resemblance is all.

Heh!  I was just providing the source, not applying it. :)

Thanks for the explanation. No problem -- somehow the first frame of this one reminded me of the pictures of Howard I've seen. As you say, probably a resemblance more found in my neurons than in the external world, but I thought I'd ask. And now I know -- it is just me! Not the light at all. Thanks!

No, it resembles his style.  There are differences though.
