	Pete Abrams@Everything2.com
		I met Pete at Dragon Con 2000 in Atlanta at the Sluggy dinner thingy he put on, and I gotta say he is one ultra cool dude.
		Since Pete's never put a picture of himself on the website, I can report that he stands about 6' tall, has a slight beer belly, and has a widow's peak where his hair's receding.
		Pete Abrams has done none of these, but still has done deeds that qualify him as a hero.

	Pete Abrams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pete Abrams (born August 4, 1970) is the writer and illustrator of the online comic strip Sluggy Freelance.
		Pete Abrams went to Joe Kubert School of Graphic Design but was unable to get a job in the comics industry after school.
		It no longer conforms strictly to the newspaper model of a short fl and white strip on weekdays and a larger, full color Sunday edition.) Sluggy eventually became so successful that it is now his full time job, and he is reputed to be the first person to make a living at drawing webcomics.

	'The Abrams Report' for Oct. 25 - MSNBC Transcripts - MSNBC.com
		ABRAMS: Wait. Wait. But let‘s even assume for a minute that the parents are telling the truth, all right? You could still—I mean you could still convict Scott Peterson on the other evidence. I‘ve always said that this whole flight argument while somewhat persuasive is not going to make or break the case.
		ABRAMS: I‘ve got to tell you. Mercedes, the number of people who watch this program who were so furious at you the last time you said that, they said $15,000, you know what I could do with $15,000? A lot of the people out there feel that they could absolutely...
		ABRAMS: You know, Dean, one of the things I think that Peterson has working against him is that they‘re talking about whether his wife and child have been found and he‘s sitting there talking about whether there‘s going to be a picture of him in the press playing golf.

	Sluggy Freelance Mailing List
		It is free and drawn daily by Pete Abrams, and has become Pete's primary source of income.
		A final note: Pete used to be a member of the list, but both he and the list were worried about legal troubles like Pete using (even accidentally) an idea for a strip posted by a list member.
		Pete likes being part of the community, though, so he uses Shirt-Guy Tom as sort of a human filter -- which means, essentially, that Shirt-Guy Tom tells Pete anything important that's posted to the list, and Pete talks to the list through Shirt-Guy Tom.

	Bandit's Banter
		By now, you all know what the big news is for me this month: Pete Abrams has given me the opportuntiy to take over the writing and drawing reins for Sluggy Freelance for the week of January 15th to January 21st.
		And just as Pete Abrams has given me this great opportunity to introduce myself to his readers, I myself hope to do the same thing with Bruno in the future, maybe once a year or so, as my way of "paying the loan forward".
		For the record, I think Ayn Rand is pretty nifty (to use Pete's word), and some aspects of her philosophy have inspired me: the ideas of believing in yourself, the power of the individual to make a difference in the world, not compromising your ideals in the face of opposition, pursuing your dreams.

	[tw] : Truer Words - A Journal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Pete Abrams, the creator of Sluggy Freelance, has been stretching his artistic muscles a bit for the last two weeks.
		Normally, Sluggy's format is the all-too-common "four panels with a punch line." That one shortcoming is made up for in numerous ways: the punch lines are often hilarious, the characters are all very well developed, and more important than anything else: the "environment" of the story is always changing.
		On the 23rd, Pete borrowed Sandman's "Death" character, although what's going on there wasn't (or hasn't been yet) fully explained.

		ABRAMS: “My Take”—I fear this guy could very well go free if all they have is a repressed memory witness. Bill Fallon is the former Essex County Massachusetts district attorney. He was chief of the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit and Jeralyn Merritt is a criminal defense attorney.

		Plus keeping the comic successful for a decade means Pete must be doing something right.
		The BEGINNING is a good place to start as later stories build on earlier ones.
		A third good jumping-in point is THE DIMENSION OF PAIN, in which all you need to know at first is that the character Riff has invented a device to blast Torg's mean pet bunny into a random dimension, and that the character Torg has a mean pet bunny.

		Since every strip is available online, it's easy to see how Abrams has improved as an artist and as a storyteller over the last four-plus years.
		Compare, for example, the appearance of Riff in the first strip to the "pinup" picture, or just the quality of the first strip to the current one.
		Abrams deftly mixes jokes and parodies of pop culture together with interesting, complex storylines and engaging characters.

	Popular Narrative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Unlike Scott McCloud, Abrams seems to view the internet as a forum for displaying comics as they would be displayed in a newspaper or other forms of print media.
		The web is an ideal forum for building such a community and for gaining a dedicated fan base for Abrams' work.
		If this fan base is dedicated enough to the comic, perhaps Abrams will generate revenue through his web-based comic.
