Questions, advice, life tips, recipes, math problems, you name it!<br/><br/><br/><strong>Anonymous asked: Would you rather only be able to communicate through singing or only be able to move around through dancing? </strong></p> <p>I’d probably go with moving around through dancing. There’s too much importance on the intricacies of speech, especially with regards to comedy, for me to ever want that limited to just song. Plus, I could totally loophole that and choose the most not-weird-to-do-in-public dance style to get around. Plus, I sit on my ass all day.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Anonymous asked: Sprichst du deutsch?

You shared a portion of yourself with millions worldwide, and accepted grief with a hint of dignity, grace, and humor. I hope to someday be able to treat the loss of my loved ones with the level of human maturity that you did today.</span></strong></p> <p><span>This was sent in regard to <a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/2670/" target="_blank">this comic</a> I made after my grandmother passed away. The response from fans was unexpected to say the least. Tumblr messages, facebook posts, twitter, email, everything. I’ve said before how much I appreciate everyone that reads the comic, but you guys have once again proven just how amazing you are. Thank you to everyone for their kind words. It was a wonderful feeling.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Anonymous asked: </strong></span><strong>Grey here, just wanted to say what a fan me and the gang at DC comics are and my green plushie has now been stolen twice on his first day.</strong></p> <p>I have two words for you: Green Lantern plushie cameo please!<br/><br/><br/><strong>Anonymous asked: Isn’t it awesome that no matter what you do, there is someone out there on the Internet who loves you for it? </strong></p> <p>It’s great! I’ve always been of the mindset “write what makes you laugh, not what makes others laugh.” Luckily, though, that there’s always going to be people who share your sensibilities so there will always be an audience for whatever you do. Artistic integrity, self-appreciation and all that jazz!<br/><br/><br/><strong><a href="http://draithy.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">draithy</a> asked: Do you purposefully pick a question out of your list of possible questions to answer just so you have one to put “SCIENCE!” at the end?… And if there isn’t a “SCIENCE!”-answerable question, do you secretly write your own and pretend a fan did?</strong></p> <p>Science!</p>http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16932733111http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16932733111Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:27:42 -0800<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys739jKd51qzo7rjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/2692/" target="_blank">NEW COMIC: Women and children second</a></p>http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16930993528http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16930993528Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:49:57 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyoj17r0YX1ql5coho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“suck my diiiiiick!! i’m a puuuuuug!!”</p>http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16838306048http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16838306048Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:29:34 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybicdwzU11qzo7rjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/2685/" target="_blank">NEW COMIC: Dress for the job you want… sometimes.</a></p>http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16418038453http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16418038453Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:33:49 -0800<a href="https://twitter.com/MattMelvin/status/159725257215852544">To be clear: we do not support SOPA, but we wholeheartedly support SOAP. #scrubadubdub</a>http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16418000980http://blog.mattmelvin.com/post/16418000980Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:32:57 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybi5pPqqZ1qzo7rjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/2670/" target="_blank">NEW COMIC: This is for you Grandma.
