I'm primarily a webcomic artist - I do get paid a pittance per strip by one of the student newspapers to run them every day, so I suppose I'm technically a professional, but it is in no way my means of subsistence. Most of what I post here is what I do for fun, though I do occasionally try to keep some particularly good strips in my archives.I like to experiment with a bunch of different art areas and types, though unfortunately most of it falls in the category of fan art. Sometimes I'll put up a little piece of experimental art using my own characters, though.

Hiya fellow madisonian. A friend showed me your web-comic a while back, found you on here, love your stuff, that is all

I just wanted to thank you for faving this~ [link] It helps spread the love! I'm glad you liked it, and I hope it has a positive impact on your and your friends' lives!

It's the first sex-positive response to fandom sexuality that I've ever seen. Usually when these come up, it's very negative and chastising to people who choose to explore those sides of characters, but I think yours is the love-and-tolerate response that the show should inspire. Thank you very much for making it.

Absolutely. Inspire is just the right word. Interesting characters can spark certain many ideas in fans.
Sadly, many people try to stifle these explorations, and it can really split the fans apart. People get so passionate about who they feel should go together, and who they feel should not. And then there are those who prefer a chaste version of the characters, like you said. These are all perfectly fine views, as long as you know to respect someone's boundaries, since no one wants any view to be shoved in their face. I promise you that without characters I looked up to, to play with in my mind, I would be nowhere near I am today.
I think that the shippers, even the cloppers, should be given full rights to explore all possibilities. If it means giving a tool to help someone come to terms with their true personality, the so be it! Now, I'm glad to say that there is a community for almost every type of fandom, and these explorations don't have to be done alone. There is nothing more wonderful than discovering yourself. And it's something that should be celebrated, not feared.

Hi Hobbes. Love the comics. Just read all of them for the first time all (relatively) at once over the course of 2-3 days. Looking forward to more, whenever you get a chance to make them.

I have been bad about posting them to deviantART, but they're going up thrice-weekly (roughly - not this week) over at [link]
Thanks!

Hi Hobbes, I'm loving yourmometer and have been a devoted reader for a long time. I keep wanting to pimp your comics on my facebook page, but when I got to link it, I get no thumbnail love. Just the text title and a link. That makes me sad. How can I entice my friends into clicking through to your comic, if there's no picture to let them see that it's a comic? Can you figure out what's wrong and make thumbnail love happen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No idea. This is probably some weirdness with how (a) Facebook finds images in a page to make into thumbnails - seriously I've seen juicy hamburgers as thumbnails to articles about the Catholic church - and (b) how the site is coded to display the comics. I don't have my hands in the code at all, so I can't fix (b), and I haven't a clue how (a) is accomplished so it'd be trial and error anyway.
Thanks for the talking up, though! Try just the link anyway - we don't have advertising, so your friends aren't giving us money if they click through and don't like what they see.

I came over your comic "yourmometer", and while it's been a while since you last updated, I will, in the hopes that you will make more, put you on my watch list

All hail Hobbes!

Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your comic. I just went through your entire archive and laughed at pretty much every one.
Anyway, just keep on doing your thing!
btw it was really hard for me to find a way to say that. Do you just not have an email address? Luckily I do have an ooooooooolllllldddddd DA account.

Is hobbes[at]yourmometer.com not listed on there somewhere? I'll have to go beat down my webmaster; if he wants to run the site, he'd better damn well do it right.

yet another comic fan...it makes me smile, and is of course, way too descriptive of my college experience at points

HI! I have a friend who goes to UW-Madison, and he introduced me to your comic.....and I. LOVE. IT.
Just wanted to say that. Oh, and I wish I could seriously draw like you, cause I've been looking into starting my own comic, but I have a lot to learn when it comes to drawing. Anyway, awesome work!

Good luck to you. I really enjoy your comics, I'm sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but do you have a name for the comic??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Do you actually compleat one of these comics a day or re they lined up in pre-compleatness for the week?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh man, I would never have the concentration to sit down and do five strips in a day. It's one a day, and they're due in to the graphics office 36 hours before press time (that's by 7pm two days before they run).

Howdy do, I am a camp friend of Miss Sim's, and wanted to say, your strip rocks my socks off. I just started my own, production values lower than i'd like (using campus scanners and what not) but id like the input of a fellow scribble who comes highly reccomended as a cool person. pip cherrio, and give erica a hug.

Heyya!
I really like your comic, I'll keep watching. (both for content and studying your style. I hope you don't mind?
I'm about to cut a deal with a writer who wants to collaborate on a one-panel strip. (He thinks of the ideas and I try to put them into ink.) Hopefully I can put some of them up here soon, and you magnaminousness can judge for herself. Not sure what kind of billing I'll get but I'm gonna get paid, so that's good... Long story short: I'll 
Keep it coming, I'm a fan now!
