It's about time I created the "Frequently Asked Questions" page. Unfortunately, I don't really have any questions to post/answer here. So I'll do the next best thing and inform.

Mister Sausage was the name of my comic strip that ran in the Ka Leo O Hawaii; the college newspaper for the University of Hawaii. I drew for the paper for about six or seven years; my first comics were called "Hi", "AAB", "Mad Circles", and a few others until I decided that I liked the name "Mister Sausage". The name came about while my friends and I were hanging out one day. Actually, a lot of my ideas come out from conversations I have with my friends, because I hang out with some pretty whack people.

The comic centers around a band of friends who just live their lives. The four main characters are two guys, a talking bird, and a talking sausage (named Mister Sausage, who the comic is named after). Together (or hell, even seperately), these friends live their lives, overcome obstacles, tackle questions of philosophy, and get dissed by fake bitches.

These are their adventures. Thank you for visiting Mistersausage.com!

Eric (or Ryan) ... okay, so I messed up. I named him Ryan for a semseter, and then started naming him Eric. Any way, he's probably the main character of the comic. Most of the strips seem to center around him. People say that when I draw him, I'm drawing myself. The truth is - I didn't look like him at first. I created the character, and then happened to cut my hair short about a year later.. then I started to look like him. Sick, isn't it?

Mister Sausage - whom the comic strip is named after. Mister Sausage is a talking sausage. Don't ask me what kind of sausage, I really don't know my sausages too well; I'd say he's one of those European sausages. He's not a vegetarian sausage, either. Those are for the sick and confused. Mister Sausage is the all around sage and voice of reason that we all have in our lives. He used to have a brother, who disavowed the family name, taking on the name "Mister Hot Dog" but was killed by Mister Sausage out of vengeance. Why doesn't he have arms or legs? Because he's a sausage, damn it. Weren't you paying attention?

Unnamed Character - This character is supposed to be a human, not an insect or an alien. When I first started drawing for the paper, I really couldn't draw (I still can't!). So I decided to draw a stick man with hair and big eyes. And so I have this character. As the comic strip developed, and as I learned to draw, I decided to still keep this character. Basically, he's the well-meaning friend that you sometimes wish you never had (or at least, had to be seen in public with!)

The Bird - or sometimes called, Mister Bird. He was the other main character in my first strips (along with the unnamed stickman). The bird was just as easy to draw, but everyone liked the bird and his cocky attitude (get it? cocky?), so I kept him around. Carrying forth the antagonistic voice to Mister Sausage, the bird represents the voice of passion and reckless abandon. The bird is male, and has a bastard son somewhere (he flew into the zoo one day and humped an ostrich).

Saddam Hussein: Former Dictator of Iraq and avid fan of rap music. During the US takeover of Iraq in early 2003, Mister Hussein was actually vacationing in France. Relying mostly on intel given to him by his Information Minister, Hussein had little or no idea that his country was being taken away from out of him. Hussein's Information Minister did, however, inform him of Eric's breakup with his girlfriend in April of 2003, and he travelled to visit his old friend and show support. This was also where he learned about the true fate of his country, when Eric turned the TV on to CNN to show him. Without any place to go, Eric and the others have agreed to allow Hussein stay with them until he gets back on his feet... provided that he remains on time with his share of the rent, of course. Hussein reportedly has some sort of 'stash' still in Iraq and much remains a mystery about him. It has been observed, however, that he is an angry-drunk, as well as a major cockblock.

Fake bitches and nice girls: exist everywhere in life, especially in the world of Mister Sausage. Sometimes appearing as givers, and sometimes appearing as takers, and total bitches, the fake bitches and nice girls are actually indistinguishable from one another. Why? Because fake bitches are good at putting up fronts, that's why! Ask my ex girlfreind.
