Favorite character?
Favorite page/scene?
And how did you discover the comic in the first place?

First off, thanks for fixing my previous quotes!
Favorite character: Ok see I like them all so this is tough for me. I can relate to the awkwardness of Eddie at the party (I was pretty weird/awkward at 14. I've toned it down to charming quirks by now) so there's that. My pick for the coolest character is tough but Ket and Viper lose out to Psycho Sam for me for reasons of skateboarding (skating high is hard man). Runner ups after those 3 are (in no order): Alex, Trance, Frost (that goth-ified Top Gun look tho). Overall best is nigh impossible, ask me again after more story happens.
Favorite page: Anything with Psycho Sam is gold but that panel with him and the dummy is platinum.
I'm pretty sure you posted it on Reddit and I went down the rabbit hole to here!
Also I'm pretty indecisive so I like pretty much everything in the comic but it's hard for me to pick stuff like this (which is pretty easy to tell. I'm not great at restaurants)
Incidentally, my younger brother is named Sam so maybe I feel a connection there too.
Ninja!Edit: I just looked at that trick sam's doing again and that boneless is sick as hell. I just got that trick (I'm new to the skate scene) and damn that's impressive forward momentum and height. I'm not sure what trick Eddie is doin in the montage but it's also pretty cool. What's up with Sam's board though? Do they have purple grip tape?

This sounds like just the indecisive-but-still-trying type of answer I'd give someone. I appreciate it.
Weird/awkward at 14? Adam and I are wondering just how young you are now.
I don't know much about skateboarding. My younger brother was really into it in his early adolescence (probably starting around the time of the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game), so I overheard some jargon here and there. Adam had me look at a scene or two from Gleaming the Cube a long time ago, which I still haven't seen in its entirety. More recently, I had us watch Thrashin' because it looked stupid (in a good way) and I thought it might help me with my 80s skateboarding ignorance. Plus it starred Josh Brolin, and I always thought he was hot in The Goonies.

Interesting. Thanks for answering. We don't get much feedback from people, so I mostly use Google analytics to get an idea for what people like. For instance, I can see which of the character's profiles are viewed most frequently on the "About the Characters" page of the site. Eddie's profile gets the most views (probably because he's first and the main character), followed by Alex, and then Veronica and Heather. The profiles that get the least amount of views are Viper, Corey, and Darwick.
I've had a couple people say that Trish is their favorite character, which is sort of confusing to us, since she was written to be a throw-away character. She's basically a trashier version of Veronica with smaller boobs and bigger hair.

Oh man, Jessica put a lot of time into that page, so I'm glad it's someone's favorite.

Awesome. My SN8X reddit submissions tend to get very few up-votes, since it's not the type of content people are usually looking for (stand alone gag-strips), but I figure even if it gets us one new fan, then it's worth posting.

Ah, we'll probably have to retcon that. Thanks for pointing it out. My high school buddies were skateboarders (including my friend Sam who served as the main inspiration for Psycho Sam), but like Jessica, my knowledge of skateboarding mostly stems from watching others play some of the Tony Hawk games.

You've got me pegged pretty well.

I'm 18, living it up in Cali. My birthday was a couple months ago actually!

Love the comic, it's super awesome.

So for whatever reason I'm curious about your signature line. Are you asking if you should stay or go? or are you quoting The Clash? and the second part the quote would be "Everybody must get stoned".
I'm a huge Rock & Roll fan and Dylan is in my top 3 favorites of all time.

Dude I'm gonna be honest I think the only reason I put the clash line there was that I had just listened to that album. Also I thought that Dylan song was funny as hell, and, ya know, it's good advice ;)
