Ella

05 Apr

I'm Ella and I live in Long Beach, California. I'm going to New York this summer for a music camp and won't be back in time to celebrate my 18th birthday with my family. After collage, I'm going to move to Germany and sing opera (I'm a coloratura soprano). If I could have any wish come true, I would have a lot of cool superpowers, one of which would be the ability to change gender at will. My favorite anime/manga are Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, Petshop of Horrors, and Black Butler.
Alan

07 Apr

My name is Alan. I'm a junior at Covenant College studying English with a minor in Theatre. I still haven't figured out why there's a difference between "Theater" and "Theatre." I was born in St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the U.S. and it's the home I go home to during the breaks. I'm in love with a girl named Jordan, I have a cat named Junebug, two brothers, a mom and a dad, and an ever-burning hatred for the undead that matches the sun in its intensity which is, of course, why I love video games involving plastering zombie brains across the nearest wall. I claim that I am employed by the city of St. Augustine as a dinosaur hunter and that it's my job to ensure there are no dinosaurs within the city limits. Obviously I do my job very well. I love to sail, read, write, and play with my professors' kids. I'm also addicted to my DS and webcomics.
Helen

07 Apr

Well, I'm Helen... Age 17. I'm very indecisive about my future, as I love anything and everything that has to do with both writing and art... I'm going to art school when I graduate this year from highschool, already been accepted.... Errrr..... I can be a bit of a spazz. I love drawing O: And I absolutely adore your comics. You should teach me how to draw comics, I legit cant figure it out.

I am not sure what college I'm going to pick. I want to major in English. I speak Spanish, too. I have a hitchhiker thum just like you!!! ^-^ And pretty much, I am a very random kid.

Hi, I'm Hana from Slovakia :). I like your comic, especially the way you draw Shoelace - so adorable! I live in Bratislava (capital city), work as a programmer in a big company, I'm 25 and... hmmm... I love sport in general (most liked: volleyball + beachvolleyball), I'm addicted to Wikipedia like you ;), I live with my boyfriend, I like every kind of food except for those containing dill leaves and/or zucchini, I like computer games and real-life games & toys (board games, sport-like games, lego, puzzles...) and I would like to live in Scandinavia :-x.

My name is Leilani. I currently live in South Korea, stationed with the Army. I LOVE writing and traveling around Korea with my boyfriend and WEBCOMICS! Recently found yours, today, as a matter of fact. I'm almost 23, and that is about it.
Demopoly

06 May

Hi I'm Don, wrapping up a MCS degree and then I will continue for a doctorate in processor programming. I'm a real estate agent, amateur astronomer, and I build robots. Real ones. The cost of technology has dropped significantly over the last ten years especially, and building a robot shoelace/cat wouldn't be much of a challenge today. And, it won't eat your flowers unless you program it to. I have a collection of old cars including a 1963 Thunderbird that I really love to ride around in. Odd people make me smile. I live in Seattle WA USA.
Paloma

07 May

Hi! I normally don't do this but i'll do for once. My name's Paloma (dove) I'm 18 and spanish, living with my boyfriend in Madrid and I'm on antidepressants, too long to explain. I have a dog called Marte (Mars), love reading, photography, cosplay and manga stuff. My other personality is called Eva and is a little girl, but few people knows about that, which I suppose is better. My boyfriend also has a cat, Grisom, way too cute XD nice to meet you all =D

Cat

09 May

Hi, Li! I'm Cat. I'm 23, studying computer science at MIT. I wish I owned a cat. I love to travel, and am trying to move to Japan for a few years, though I'd settle for any place I haven't lived before. I also adore British comedies and wikipedia and am good at reading maps. However, I can't draw, so I'm very impressed with people who can. Every week your comic makes me happy. Thanks! ^.^
Jonathan

11 May

My name is Jonathan. I live in California. I started reading your comics about 20 minutes ago because I'm procrastinating on work. Reading the comic about procrastination made me laugh. I have a wonderful girlfriend and I go to school full-time, work part-time. I love meeting people and any kind of new music is welcome to me. I'm currently in J-rock at the moment because it reminds me of U.S.'s 90's rock. I love anime and house of the dead was the very first shooter game I ever beat. I am holding my girlfriend's cat as I type this. Her name is Amber, but I call her princess, because that's what she is.
Jade

12 May

My name is Jade. I came here from Korean when I was 7 years old. I am now 22. I, too, am scared of spiders and peacock feathers (I thought I was the only one!) I suck at reading maps but I'm extremely good at reading music. I, too, have a hitchhiker's thumb. I love oranges but can't eat them because of the citrus ruining my stomach making me get sick.

Sarah Liz

My name's Sarah Liz. I am in high school and live in the United States. I want to be a member of the FBI. I have a boyfriend; we've been dating for over a year and a half. I have a dog. Once I'm moderately successful and (hopefully) have married someone that I love to be with after I finish college, I hope to move with them to Africa and help in orphanages there.
Xandra

17 May

Hello ^-^ My name is Xandra. I am 21. I was born in Wisconsin but have lived in New Mexico, Maryland and currently Michigan. I love cats but only have one named Spider. I love food and can go a little crazy cooking things for my family. I'm studying Art Education and obsessively collect anything I think I'll use in a future art assignment. I hate history class because the dates are so hard to differentiate, I hate avocado, banana and coffee because they give me stomach aches, I hate cold rainy weather but I like it when it snows really hard. I love foreign music, movies, tv shows especially lakorn, k pop, Asian love stories and Korean horror movies.

My name is Barbara. I was born in Virginia but now live in Tennessee. My parents were in the Navy so I have also lived in Florida, Guam and California. I am 24. I live at home with my parents for now because my Husband and I are trying to save to go to school. I want to Major in Midea Arts and Animation. Someday I want my own graphic novel. My cats (I have many) are Kesa, Squeek, Dr. Satan, Aurora, Talouse, Tituba, Khaleesi, and Pyewhackette. I admire your work though it is very different from my own and your ability to put together so many. Keep up the good work!

Did you really read all these comments? o.o Well, my name is Sebastian, I live in Chile, I speak english and spanish, I'm 21. I like chocolate and cute things. And your comic is the cutest thing I've ever read. What else... I study computer engineering, I'm learning to play bass guitar, I like to translate things (in fact I would love to translate your comic but my handwriting is not cute like yours), and I want to have a cat but I can't, because I barely spend time on my house. I'll keep reading this comic, it's just too awesome.
Jacob

06 Jun

Hey! I just found your site and it's awesome! My name is Jacob; I live in San Antonio, TX -- and work in tech support currently =P. I'll be leaving soon to start law school and a career with the USMC, as JAG Officer. I like hiking/camping; floating down the rivers here in tubes (when there is enough rain...); kitties (naturally), of which I have two; eating out with friends and family -- We'll do yoga and martial arts here, which is alot of fun since everything else is pretty lame. I live by myself currently; the girl I wanted to marry isn't around anymore so I date here and there. Can't wait to find someone truly awesome who is worth loving and taking care of! Thanks for the comics; they're great and they make the internet a better place!
Sara with an H

07 Jun

My name is Sarah. I was born in California, I moved to England when I was 20. Because my mom is from Hawaii my first language was Japanese (yeah, I'm a white person who speaks Japanese :P) When I was 5 we learned I was hearing impaired, I became legally deaf when I was 19. If you were to ask me I would say I was hearing impaired out of habit.

I've just finished reading all the comments from your fans and I am surprised because I am unlike anyone else that has posted. I am old (54), a nurse, have a daughter that is 22 so I could be mother to most of you. My husband died in 2002 at the age of 45. My daughter lives with me and attends college to be a nurse. We have 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs. She "stumbled upon* this site and sent it to me. I am working my way through the entire site. Love little Shoelace!

Maus

30 Jun

I just found your comic and am reading through the entire back catalogue. I am an artist and a musician in an industrial band. Everyone thinks I hate everything but in truth I am just outspoken on the things I disagree with. I like a lot a lot of stuff very very much. I love all genres and styles of music, movies, games, and books. I drive my wife crazy on a daily basis with shenanigans of all manner. When I was in 5th grade I was in an accident and ripped my nose from my face. Since then I lost my sense of smell which in turn made me very picky about the texture of food. Yes, I can taste food still but it took several years for it to come back. One time, I got in 4 car accidents in 1 week. I have 2 small Jack Russel dogs. I prefer cold weather and mountains. My family is of Jewish decent, so I have a tattoo on my wrist of numbers like auschwitz because that is a memory that even though painful should never go away. I wanted my great grandfathers numbers from his wrist, but they were not documented. So I got the numerical equivalent of my initials.

Tropylium

09 Jul

Hello. I'm a math/science geek and academiac-in-training of 26 years from Finland. My name doesn't matter, I think. I read more webcomics than I can keep count of. (They're a half-adequate substitute for having a life.) Yours is pretty nice. Wikipedia is pretty cool, agreed, but I keep wanting a version that would be useful for doing actual science too… Some other things I like include bright colors, cheesy and/or hypnotic synth music, and origami. Oranges are not bad but a little overrated IMO.
Phil

11 Jul

The names Phil. I was born in New Zealand (Wellington) and moved to England when I was 9 years of age. I am currently studying film and television at Aberystwyth Uni (mid-Wales on the coast for you who don't know) I like RPG games and I am a fan of Edgar Wright and want to be a camera man one day. And that's all I will give away about myself for now :)

TJ Radcliffe

21 Jul

I was born on the periphery of the ruins of an empire That ground itself to dust about the time When I was born, forty-eight years ago (you do the math.) I'm addicted to knowledge, and try to get a hit 'least once a day I'm scared of... well, not much, which is a problem sometimes I live by myself, although I'm surrounded by family and friends and I've known true deep and genuine love which makes me kind of warm inside, where dark and sometimes empty places dwell. I don't play games, but I sail, so maybe that counts, and I love apples the way a zombie loves his brains (or someone's brains at least) I have a cat named "Yogurt" so I'm sitting on my porch across the world from you with wine and Yogurt which goes to show what a difference capitalization makes. I have a surgeon's hands sitting on ice in back someplace (should have paid his debts... how did the hitcher piss you off?) I love space opera and caper films and quite a few other things besides. I've lived here for thirty years and have come to think it's time and past to go back home, two thousand miles away where cold black water rises with the tide and seals sun on the rocks. I hate... willful ignorance. But I think if hate's the answer you're probably just asking the wrong question. My name is Tom. :-) I also (shameless plug alert!) am the writer for an illustrated Web serial novel: http://www.songsofalbion.com that isn't quite as whimsical as your extraordinary webcomic, but it has other dimensions of interest, and seals, mermaids, love, adventure, and possibly penguins (although honestly I've not figured out how to work those in yet...)
John

Here are a few things about myself: I am 18 (19 in october) In Highschool (Senior) I am planning on going to college at either The University of Pittsburgh, or Waynesburg (For Computer Science) I lived in Pennsylvania (United States) all of my life, and I hate it. I plan on moving somewhere with simple weather. Hot, or cold. not this humid crap. I LOVE cats! But my adoptive mother is allergic to cats :[ I have a dog named Angel who is a spoiled brat. I am technically an only child. My mother passed away when I was 15, so I moved with my friends family (My current home) I LOVE COMPUTERS AND VIDEO GAMES!!!!!11!1!ONE And I am a very down-to-earth, yet very relaxed person. I am known as The Guru of Life, The Universe, and everything else.

Hi, my name is esme, I'm from Mexico. I just graduated from high school and I'm going to study architecture:D I love architecture so much I could marry it! ...If it was legal of course. Anyway, I love chocolate, coffe and jolly ranchers (they make my tongue look funny:P) I also like painting and drawing. I don't have any pets but I would like to have a snake or a hedgehog or a hare or an unicorn or dog or an octopus or any other cute animal. btw I really like your comics, they're cool:)
Jeremy

29 Jul

I'm Jeremy. I just started reading your comic today because there was a link to it from another webcomic I like. I was born in Dunedin. I live in Wellington and study computer science and Mandarin, but I'm moving to Shenzhen at the end of the year because my girlfriend told me to (and because I liked it the last few times). I would do a webcomic too if I were able to simultaneously hold a pencil and remember what I was just laughing about. I play mandolin when I can be bothered. I usually have music in my head but it stops whenever someone asks me what kind of music I like, or when I'm holding a mandolin and someone tells me to play something.

Lammy

29 Jul

I'm Lammy, and yeah, it's short for lamington. I also have a hitchhikers thumb, which is great to pull out at parties. My drink of choice is soco and coke, and despite doing a degree in health science I'm a lazy slob. I do have a first degree black belt in tae kwon-do though! I have a kitty, a puppy and a boyfriend, and spend most of my time asking if I can get more pets. For some reason he keeps saying no. Attach cats will help me to world domination. One day my army of soldiers armed with cats to fling at the heads of their enemies will win the world for me.
Gracia

Hi I'm Gracia I am a hopeless dork with a black belt bad combo i know. I want to be a neural scientist when i grow up. My cat's name is Snowball it's a boy for that he most likely hates me. The song White and Nerdy has got to be about me i swear.
