The blood, sweat and tears of many indentured servants went into the making of this story, so
you'd better appreciate it!
Actually, it was a whole lot of writers who lent us their talents to put this tale together
and we're grateful that each of them was able to take time out of their busy schedules to have such
a great time! Some of them are everyday columnists who write during all hours of the day, others
are the cartoonists and web designers behind some of your favorite animations and web shows, and some are
just complete strangers whom we pretty much begged until they gave in...and there's nothing wrong with that!
Besides, just look what came of it all...
Please take a few minutes to visit the websites of some of these fine individuals, whom without we wouldn't
have had such an adventure - thank you all!!!

Matt has a day job in the editorial team of a Tech publisher, but spends
his spare time cartooning and writing considerably funnier stuff. At least
he thinks so, so please let him live with his comfortable little illusion
if you disagree. He spends most of his time watching Jackie Chan
movies and eating nachos, but not necessarily in that order. |

Erik is in sales and marketing by day, and by night he's a superhero!
Okay, he's really just a father of two, husband of one, and dog owner of
two more. He's the only guy in the house, which isn't so bad as long
as the TV in his study is permanently glued to football games and woodworking
shows. |
