InFrequently Asked Questions
Q: When does False Positive post comic updates?
A: 3 times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.
Q: What is this webcomic rated? Is it safe for coworkers to read it over my shoulder at work? Should I permit my impressionable progeny to read this sort of pulp?
A: False Positive has not been “rated” by any authoritarian institution, but the language usually falls within PG-13 territory, while the visuals might depict varying degrees of comic book violence and gore. The comments are not rated and some comments could potentially contain salty language which more sensitive readers might find objectionable.
Q: When I click on the RSS/ Subscribe links, I get sent to a weird page full of code– what’s up with that?
A: Are you using Chrome to browse the interwebs? I bet you are. Chrome lacks an inherent RSS reader. It needs a plug-in, like this one: LINK If you aren’t using Chrome, you’re probably using some other browser that has trouble with RSS reading– Maybe you’re browsing on a smartphone or a tablet. You can try to go to your favorite homepage and add the RSS feed from there.
Q: Why short stories?
A: I’m just as much an advocate for long form story telling as I am for the shorter form. My heart holds a special place for genre anthologies. Horror, specifically, often works more successfully in short form. I get the warm fuzzies when thinking back on my discovery of the short stories of Poe, Lovecraft, Ellison, and Bradbury or my earliest viewings of Creepshow, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and so on. When scheming this project, I hoped short-stories might lend their pointed brevity to a webcomic delivery format. I do have larger stories I hope to share elsewhere.
Q: Will any of the short-stories/ chapters continue?
A: Maybe.
Q: Do you have a zombie-apocalypse-survival-plan in place and if so, what is it?
A: Yes, but I cannot disclose my strategy here.
Q: I don’t see a “donate” button; how can I support this handsome endeavor?
A: False Positive doesn’t currently have a donation function; you can demonstrate support by spreading word about the site on Twitter, Facebook, your blog, street art, or your preferred social media.
Q: Where can I get some of the sweet False Positive merch I so desperately crave?
A: False Positive offers no merchandise at this time.
Q: What is your art process?
A: False Positive is 100% digital (so far), using Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and various Wacom tablets. I authored a brief blog post about it here: PROCESS
Q: What are some of your favorite comics?
A: A few titles off the top of my head & in no particular order are
Q: Robots, Aliens, Monsters, Dinosaurs, or Humans?
A: Monsters.
Q: Any other questions?
Are you going to publish a book of this? I would buy at least one, probably two. Perhaps three.
For WonderCon 2012, I did print some artist proof mini-comics collecting some of the stories and we sold out.
I don’t have any immediate plans to seek publication. But I would love to eventually hold a quality hard-copy version of False Positive. I know some folks who’ve had success with Kickstarter, & that’s a route I’m interested in investigating further.
If you go kickstarter, I promise I’ll be a backer! This project is one of the best I’ve found. Well done, and extremely interesting stories. Instant fan.
Thanks for the support. I will certainly spread the word if I go that route.
I love your art ! I also promise to be a backer if you go kickstarter…… I’ll even start saving NOW ! False Positive would look sooooo good as a hardcover
meanwhile, I’m enjoying every one of your updates ! thank you
Thanks for the encouragement and support.
I’m still actively looking at potential publishing avenues.
Are you planning on doing more Dual comics, other serial comics or in the interim of now and your kickstarter releasing the false positive comics as digital downloads? Also definitely support a kickstarter for a hard or soft cover version of these as well as nearly any other art oriented projects you might have.
Thanks for the interest. Always happy to find out someone knows Dual.
DC still has the rights to Dual for now. At some point, I’d be interested in finishing at least one of the major story arcs I had plotted.
I do have a handful of other long-form stories outlined. My current schedule doesn’t allow for tackling them at present. Soon.
My short-term FP goal is to find time to get a few exclusive supplemental stories done to offer with digital downloads. My plate is pretty full. I might need to adjust the FP posting schedule. And I’d like to get Season 2 done before looking at a False Positive Kickstarter.
So many projects. So little time.
