1. What does D4K mean? – D4K stands for Dribble for Kids, which is the official homepage of the comic strip of the same name.  D4K Studios then means Dribble For Kids Studios.

2. What the Heck is Dribble for Kids On-line? Homepage for D4K Studios and the comic strip Dribble For Kids, and anything else I wanna post on here.

Yeah, so I wanna post what I wanna post! So what?  I don't see you name on the deed, buddy.

3. I see you mention Version 3.0 ...  What does Version 3.0 mean? Well, 3 is after 2, which is after 1.  Of course, It means the 3rd layout of the website.

4. So what does your site feature exactly?  Um, See 2.  Comic Strip and whatever I want it to.

5. So when will the site be completely up?  With the movie being edited, trying to worry about real life situations, AND get a webcomic out at least once a week... all I can say is... Rhome wasn't built in a day.  And neither was my spell checker for my pc.  I at least tried to get every link on the left working with something on that page.

6. I heard you wrote a screenplay called TMNT 4 (Ninja Turtles 4) and Under the Table and Dreaming.  When will these be up on the website?  Under the Table and Dreaming? Sure. Maybe.  TMNT 4? Prolly not.

7. Hey, what kind of name is Dribble for Kids, anyway? Where did you get that Title From? Okay, long story but here we go: In the movie The Hudsucker Proxy by the Cohen Brothers, there is a phrase where Norville Barnes goes "You know, it's for kids." When I wrote this tv-like skit thing for the TMNT-L (the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mailing List) venting my frustrations about this one TMNT fan, it got such a warm reception, I began to write more, and which the article was called "More Dribble for Kids. Yeah, you know... for kids."  Well the title was shortened down to "Dribble for Kids." and wha-la.   The reason why the word Dribble was added was not only to add a sense of creativity that I didn't steal the "For Kids" part from anything, I wanted to add something that you can tell, came from me,  so what usually comes out of my mouth? (At times,) Pure, pointless un-adulterated ramblish dribble.  Thus... Dribble for Kids... was born.

 

8. What happened to  the Tao of Nick? Er wait, what IS the Tao of Nick?! The tao of Nick is a joke which began, if it was a joke even, more of an idea, thought up while me and my friend were browsing thru DVDs like we usually did at Media Play.  There is a movie called The Tao of Steve and we would make wise-cracks about the movie or our own Tao’s.  When I did the site for angelfire, I like quotes I thought quotes that best explain me would be cool, so I did a Tao of Nick quote generator.  For those who been with the site since's it's inception on angelfire, the Tao of Nick is a quote generator that for the time being, has retired until I have a better place for it.

 

9. What do you do for a living?  Heh.  Wouldn't YOU like to know.  But I work technically basic 9am to 4 pm jobs. Let's leave it at that.  If you used to follow my blogger, MORE Dribble For Kids, then you'd know.

 

10.  More Dribble For Kids? Um… That was your blogger? Um, what happened to it? Well for those who were good friends of mine, or perhaps some of you who just happened upon the website, noticed a link on the top left which said “More Dribble”. This was a blogger, which featured my daily ramblings and also, it was pretty much my journal.  Thus, being a journal, I was very candid, (up there with Kevin Smith’s canny candid-ness.) about my life, who I had issues with in my life. It was pretty much what a journal was supposed to be. But… like sometimes happens, you can burn bridges with people who will stumble upon it, and also will read it normally and might get mad you even mention their name, even if it’s in a positive light. So, pretty much, I got tired of all yer bitching.  So I took it down and hid it where it is what it is supposed to be. A Real Life Journal.

 

11. You have an on-line store? Yes and no.  We’re trying some different stuff which is more hands on approach from me, also 20 bucks for a shirt from Café’ Press is a bit much.  We’re working on it.  If anything we're keeping the posters up for sale, or trying to find a way to keep them up for sale.

 

12. Any items from CaféPress I ordered, I’m having some problems with, or I can’t seem to order from your store correctly.  Who do I contact?  Welpers, don’t talk to me, unless it deals with actually an order you wished to have signed by me, OR with the art itself.  But then again, if you aren’t having probs with the art or any signed info, contact CafePress, by dialing 1-877-809-1659, Monday – Friday from 7AM to 5PM PST or go to their homepage @ www.cafepress.com .

 

13. So What Day do you Post Your Comic Strip?  - Every Thursday. We go on "summer hiatus" around end of may or so.

 

13. Wait, you said "we".  More than one person works on the comic strip? Yes.  We have a writer's staff which makes up the D4K Crew. There is Nitro, Kidsplitner and Romey.  Kidsplitner does occasional guest artistry as well.

 

14. On your site you used to mention the phrase, “The Workout Partner”.  What is that, exactly?  The Workout Partner is a low budget indie film I did, starring Jimmy Dailey, Tami Reynolds and Nathan Haley.  We'll release more info eventually at some point.

 

15.  When is the Workout Partner coming to theatres? IS it coming to theatres? No.  Highly Unlikely.  Despite such hard work from everyone involved, the best we can hope for are personal screeners opened to the public.

 

16.    Will there be a DVD? Will you Sell it on the site? Of course.  That is the main and final destination in case any local theatre showings don’t work out.  And it will be on sale via this site and maybe even a few others, like Drew Hanson’s Dirt Sheet, among a few other.

 

17.    What about Q & A’s? Would you think about doing any of them? What about the cast and crew? Of COURSE!!! I’m all about everyone asking me questions cos I like to talk, and specially about the joys (& pains) of making a movie.  I’ve talked to the cast a bit and they are interested in such fun stuff as well.

 

18.    Any merchandise from the film on sale? Well, when the movie comes out, on DVD at least, if anything, we’ll discuss this more then.

 

19.    Are you working on anything else for your next film project?  Yes I am, actually.  The Workout Partner was great cos it was a stepping stone into the foray of films, so… I know what to do better this time, what not to do, etc.  But I rather finish the Workout Partner first before jumping into another project feet first.

 

20. You honest like the Ninja Turtles? Just HOW LAME are you, anyway?!  Oh very. But your mom doesn’t think so.

 

21. Can I get any of my own ideas into your comic strip?  Depends.  More on this later, though.

 

22. Can I draw a guest strip or guest issue? Depends.  Guest Strips are always welcomed, Guest Issues though are more serious in nature, so the latter answer goes with number 21's answer of "It Depends."

 

23. Have you ever thought of doing a Dribble for Kids comic book? Technically it's what we're doing, but online.  

 

24.    Can I link to your website cos I dig it? – Sure thang! I’m all about linking to me. Spread the love, brotha!

 

25.    Why is the comic now in full blown color? Why didn’t you start the comic out in color all the time anyway!?  This whole web comic in general, just proves that I have no life.  But to answer your question, in the beginning I was stubborn and didn’t have enough time to learn about the photo deluxe program I had on the computer with the scanner.  It was more of a matter of inking it quickly as well.  Ink it quickly with black and white, and move along. 

 

26.    What’s the deal on posting on Mikey’s TMNT site? You’re a TMNT fan, but the strip has nothing to really do with the TMNT?!  Good question.  Well, Mike was good enough to host the strip before, as it was maturing from an article on his site, which DID have to do with the TMNT in it, for the TMNT were brought up at least twice in each article almost till the end, before it turned into the strip.   Mike has been gracious to let me continue to post it up on there with the comic, and also let my opinions of the TMNT fandom out there, and of course I love the msg boards which I check out every wipsnitch or too. AND... with D4K shaping up some form of plot and continuity here now days, we'll learn that the TMNT are a huge part of one of the character's lives.

 

27. What's with the Nate character's hatred for Deep Space Nine in the D4K webcomic? It's nothing personal mind you. A story point. While I do tend to agree that DS9 is far beneath TNG's superior cast and storylines, (even to much of Jimmy’s behest, after viewing the show, I still feel the same…) I don't HATE the show.  And I don't hate TNG either. Actually I love TNG and like DS9 too, on my better days.

 

28. What's with Wil Wheaton? Do you not like him either? HECK NO! we LOVE Wil Wheaton.  The jokes about The Next Generation cast and him are not really at him at all. I think Wil's a cool guy while never meeting or talking to him, and I actually follow his website everyday or so, and actually am wanting to buy his book, Dancing Barefoot. Which is something YOU should do!! So DO IT.

 

29. Why DOES Drew wear that damned turtleneck sweatshirt all the time? Why doesn't he just take it off? Read the Lord of the Sweaters storyline and find out why.

 

30. Your humor in your comic is weird. Um… why?! My Answer here could go many ways.  I don’t think that it’s weird, I know it’s not normal tho.  I find humor in cartoons like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and a bunch of other comedies on adult swim on cartoon network.  Pretty much, I am a Futurama, Family Guy, Aqua Teens, Space Ghost- humor kinda guy.  So it can be perhaps a bit odd. 

 

31. What’s with the storylines? I can’t keep up.

Don’t worry.  For those a bit confused, Check the Archives. We have it spelled out all nice for those lagging behind.

 

32. Who is your daddy, and what does he do? A bit out of line, don't you think?
