Strom Thurmond and his Feathered Friends - About

Who are you? Who makes this comic?
The comic was created by Corbie and Richard; we both created the characters, and the idea. We both write the comic, each doing different episodes. You can actually tell who wrote each episode by who's name comes first in the credits, although we both edit each other's writing, give each other suggestions, and will joint right strips.
The page is maintained by Richard. The original layout was created from looking at some BB's source code, then culling about 95% of the code and heavily modifying it until it reached its current form. Everything was and will continue to be done in notepad, because it's simple and I don't feel like downloading some fancy editor to make a simple website. I use Opera to view the site, but it should work on Firefox as well as other browsers, no reason why it shouldn't.
The graphics (the drawings, the banners, and the icons) were all done by the very talented Elizabeth Gilkison. Yeah, if we could draw like her, the comic would probably not be comprised of images we find on google.

When do you update?
Right now we're keeping it to just one on Mondays.

Why is the comic in BB format?
Because that's how it started. The first episodes of the comic are mostly direct copies from posts the Truth and Beauty Bombs forums. We used to banter back and forth using the characters (which is why some of the first few comics lack traditional punchlines.) So that's why we kept it. Also, originally I thought that having it in a BB format would be very unique and a good bit of originality. I later found out there are half a dozen other popular comics that use some sort of message board format. Oh well. Still, I haven't seen one that is exactly the same format as ours.
Having the comic in BB format also has the advantage of keeping us constrained and therefore (hopefully) creative. Other rules we like to follow include only using images we find using a search engine, and not being able to edit those images aside from simple cropping and resizing. Sometimes, we might bend or break a rule, but hopefully we'll keep it down to a minimum.

So why did you banter back in forth as birds and Strom Thurmond on a message board? Why these characters?
It's a long story... and also, we don't know.

Any way to support the site or buy merchandise?
We don't have much of a fanbase, maybe when we're bigger we'll make some stickers or something.

There are too many popups!!!
The page should have no popups since we've got our own hosting. Be sure you're not still coming here via the old url.

Your comic is not funny!
Then don't read it. There are lots of funny comics out there, check out our link section.
