Will you draw ________ ?
If you mean commissions, yes, I can do commissions. If you are talking cameos and crossovers, those are also possibilities. Shoot me an e-mail.

How come some strip numbers are missing?
Strips 1-6 have been deleted or altered. They do not count as PSI Comic canon at all. Think of them as "trial" strips. Archive-wise, as far as PSI is concerned, they don't exist :P

Number 19 was not really a strip for my site, but rather a guest strip, so that was moved. Number 20 was just a note saying I went on vacation and the strip was on hiatus. So that leaves 65 main strips by the end of the Camping Arc (#68), leaving me shy of 3 strips for my main count. Aside from that I have a Mabon, Halloween, and a Diversion strip counting up to 3 more strips that I should have counted in my main count. These are in the archives and have an additional number after them: 19, 20, 69 respectively. The Diversion one is older than the 69th spot, but I'm just putting it there to count as another strip. #70 and #71 are flashback strip and a random strip, respectively.

Why is everything so gray here?
When I made the comic, as when I made the site, I was very depressed. I didn't want complete black though. It's been way over done. I went with a dark gray, and this lighter gray looked great with it. Since the site update in December 2006, things have gotten a bit lighter. But I like the grays. They are calm. and not too contrasting with the comic's white areas.

Also, I've been doing the comic in grayscale for a while, and I love it like that. Especially when I add a splash of color. So, in turn, the site now compliments the grayscale comic.

A bit depressing don't you think?
What? The name? Yea. I guess. I created the comic when I was depressed. I could not think of a good name, so I decided to look at the definitions of words to find something cool. If this were a depressing comic (as it was originally intended to be), "a pessimistic sense of inadequacy" would be a fucking awesome name. Alas, the comic no longer has anything to do with that name anymore aside from describing its origin. I've decided NOT to completely change that name out of the sake of recognizability of the comic from when it started, and to keep the idea of why the comic started (know my roots or something). So that I why I emphasis "P.S.I." now. Also the URL is "FesAndErnst.com" which is what I wish I called the comic... but oh well.

What is your deal with getting so many cameos?
Part of the reason I started P.S.I. was because of the webcomics I loved. One of my goals is to cameo as many of my favorite webcomic characters as possible. Since the characters are personas of myself, It's like I get to interact with them directly... kinda but not really. ANYway, it's a little like trading cards or Pokémon I guess.

Why does your style keep changing?
The comic is in a constant and perpetual state of experimentation... that is VERY key. The day I settle on a style to last forever is the day I create a new comic altogether.... or maybe I could not think of anything new yet... I dunno. I'm not at that particular point yet.
