  1. WB, known in real life as Jonathan Gray, has had a big hand in shaping the landscape of the current online Sonic the Hedgehog community. Not only is he an incredibly talented artist (which led him to now doing lots of work for Archie Comics), but he has also supervised the operation of Sonic HQ for many years. Sonic_Hedgehogs catches up with WB to learn more about his time at the site, his career and his personal projects, such as the web comic Chip n' Walter. TSS: Hey WB, Merry Christmas and thanks for taking the time for the interview! WB: Thank you for having me here! ^_^ TSS: No problem man. First off, who are you in the Sonic Internet Community and what makes people think of you when they think of veteran Sonic Internet guys? WB: Well - my name is Jonathan H. Gray, but a lot of people know me better online as WB or Dub. :-) Surprisingly I've been a member of the Sonic community online since 1997, my grad year of high school (which is an obscenely long time, but hey, I love the people online whom I talk to regularly and we all share common interests). I was a co-administrator at Sonic HQ for several years and later on became an admin at the TSF Message Boards. Both of which I still hang out regularly at, even though I've stepped down long ago. When people think of me I guess they think of how silly or goofy I always am around everything. :-) TSS: How did you get involved with the Sonic HQ, which most Sonic community people see as one of the first major Sonic websites that is still pulling in a lot of visitors daily. WB: I came across the place when I was looking up info on the old Genny Sonic games. :-) I had no idea Sonic was so intensive at that time. Zifei Wu, the guy who initially created the site, was looking for some help in running the page. SHQ had kind of gotten real big and he was thinking of maybe asking people on The Mofo (SHQ's MB) if they'd like to be on staff. That was when the Mofo was on one board and cramped and everything else. ^^ I figured, "why not?". I had already been there for maybe a year and joined up afterwards. When Zifei stepped down there was some confusion over who would take over the site, so it was later decided that I'd handle the small stuff while Vector (the other admin) handled the technical stuff. The staff and the board always felt like one big online family to me, so I just kinda stayed and that was that. :-) TSS: When did you gain full control of the Sonic HQ and what things do you remember most from your webmaster days of the HQ that have helped you along other projects? WB: Oh geez....To be honest I don't remember the exact day Zifei left and I got control. But it had to be '98 or '99 I think. I didn't choose to officially leave the site and my position as board administrator until last year. If there's one thing I learned from doing SHQ that has benefited me GREATLY now, it's that I now know how to build webpages, as well as knowing when to not go too far on them (anybody who remembers how SHQ used to be drowned with midi's will know what I'm talking about XD). I also learned how to deal with people. Being an admin at the SHQ and TSF boards kind of helped me get a thicker skin to everything around me. Not everybody you meet IRL or online are exactly the nicest you'll have met. Though I try to get along with everybody I meet. ^^ TSS: When did you decide it was time to hand the Sonic HQ down and retire from being the webmaster of the site? WB: It took a long time for me to make that decision. To be honest. I had grown tired of it. It wasn't the people I disliked or anything else, but the work of administrator had become a chore, so to speak. So I was rather conflicted as to what to do. For a long time I had wanted to do a webcomic much like my longtime online friend Ian J does (he writes and draws RPG World for those who are familiar with it). I had my own characters that I've always wanted to do something with in the future, and all these stories in my head and whatnot. And then there was SHQ. Also at the time - I was going to Tennessee State University and I was nearing my junior year. I wasn't really happy with the way my major was going and it felt more and more like SHQ matters were getting in the way of my animation career that I wanted to pursue - as well as my pet project ('Chip n' Walter' and 'Time Trouble') that I had always wanted to do. So I made some pretty big decisions since obviously something had to go. I couldn't do SHQ for the rest of my life, so I chose to step down. Because I wasn't happy with TSU as far as my major went, I also decided to transfer. I sat out one quarter to save some extra money and then I transferred to the Savannah College of Art & Design. During that off time I finally bit the bullet, resigned from SHQ (though I stayed on as board admin there and at TSF), and I pretty much started CNW/TT at Keenspace from nothing. I've never regretted the decision since, and I'm a lot happier. :-) I left the board positions when Archie rolled around. And that's that. TSS: Tell us about your online comics, 'Chip n' Walter' and 'Time Trouble'? is it sort of a daily comic, a comedy? And when did you think of starting it? WB: Right now it hasn't been updated in a while. I usually ceased production on it during Final Exam and Registration time, but during my grad exams something kind of came up that halted production of it for a bit ;-) Chip and Walter and Time Trouble are actually two entirely different webcomics with entirely different stories. It's just that they are both on the same page because I didn't want to separate them. CNW harkens back to my love of the old 'Disney Afternoon' cartoons. You know - back when studios actually cared about what they put out. ;-) Chip and Walter is the story of four children: Chip, Walter, Wendy, and Artie Duckbill, and how they have to adjust to their new life after the mysterious death of their father at the hands of the NSFFS Corporation. The story is all about being a kid (or an adult) and learning how to adjusting to a new situation - something I'm sure everybody can relate to. When their world is basically destroyed overnight, they have to learn how to be kids and trust people all over again, Baxter Taft - their godfather - must now adjust to being the sudden father of four children, in addition to his nephew whom he already takes care of. And Professor Wetbread (recurring villain and fave character amongst the people that have stuck with my strip) has to learn how to build his life over from scratch after the death of his best friend - of which he has been blamed and is now driven mad over.... I make it sound a lot more serious than it actually is (CNW is actually the most fun of the two IMO), but you get the gist of it. :-) Time Trouble harkens back to my love for all of the old fantasy stories I read as a kid: Wizard Of Oz, that sort of thing. Seven kids get whisked away to a land full of magic and intrigue and travel. In their haste to get home, however, they become embroiled in a mystery about the children that preceded them in coming to Timeland. What happened to them, how they relate in the grand scheme of things. It's hard to say which is my personal favorite, but with Time Trouble I can deal with a lot of stuff that wouldn't work in CNW - racism, death, and everything else. At the end of the day its seven kids finding their place in the world, growing up with each other through good and bad, and creating their own destinies and legends. TSS: Do you plan on creating any other comic series to go along with your current two? And do these two comics relate in anyway? WB: I have other ideas in my head for comics and whatnot, but CNW/TT have been with me since middle school. TT has been with me even longer than that. Those two are my babies so to speak so for now I'm sticking with them. ^_^ They do relate to each other in small ways, but not too much. I prefer to keep the stories for the two comics separate so you aren't forced to read one to understand the other. :-) When I'm in a goofier mood I mix the two casts and just go completely random. XD The best example of this would be the first birthday strip (where my long time LNR gag was introduced ;-)) and the "Computer Funeral" strip that I did when my old computer of 5 years died on me, which people STILL tell me is their absolute favorite. XD TSS: I'd hate to put you against your creations, but of the many characters you've created, who would you pick as your favorite or most memorable character? WB: For CNW - Cameron. I love characters who are complete and total idiots, yet somehow manage to outsmart everyone else around them. XD For TT...... Sterling Silver. Most loathsome character I've ever had a hand in creating ^^ TSS: So, I heard a story that some crazy artist joined the ranks of Archie to do the Sonic comics, is this true? WB: I have no idea whom you could be referring to, good sir. :D TSS: You of course, Mr. WB! ^_- So, how did you get a job helping out the Archie Sonic comics? Did they find you? WB: Actually - the people I have to thank for that are J. Axer and Karl Bollers. Coolest guys alive. :-) The staff needed one more artist and Axer asked me if I would be interested. I said yes (ecstatically), submitted some stuff to Axer as samples, later talked with Karl and submitted some more stuff and voila. :-) If it weren't for Axer I'd never have had this opportunity to finally prove myself. TSS: Sounds great! So what have you done so far in the comics and which issue did you start in? WB: My initial submission was actually four pages of Sonic #132 (which Dave Manak drew), but it was way too late to even think about getting the whole story done in time, since Dave's pages had already gone into production. I'll post those up on my portfolio page after that book comes out. I finished Sonic #134 last month, which was the epilogue to the four-part "Home" story arc. That will be out in March. :-) I've also been working exclusively with Karl Bollers since I got on at Archie, and just recently I finished doing about 10-12 new character designs and color references. My next books, which I am currently working on, will be a full four-part story arc that I'm drawing that begins in Sonic #138. :-) TSS: Whats it like working on the comics? Is there something that you enjoy about it most? WB: I love it. :-) I like the fact that I'm allowed to get away with some things since I'm mischievous like that. ^^ StH #134 will be RIDDLED with easter egg cameos - from Flickies to Chao to Billy Hatcher. I love doing that kind of stuff. One character cameo in particular will be bound to get a select group of Sonic fans to develop a BIG GRIN. XD I like the fact that I'm having FUN on it. At the moment it doesn't feel like "a job", even though it is, you know? There are a few issues here and there but overall its been a fun and very good learning experience for me, especially in the field that I want to pursue. The thing I enjoy the most though would have to be consulting with Karl on story stuff. I'm flattered that he values my opinions good or bad on story stuff, and I think that in the end - when the creatives work together more closely - it results in better stories and artwork. He critiques me on stuff and vice-versa, like talking to an old friend. I don't feel pressured or thrown into situations over my head. TSS: When did you first become a Sonic fan, and why do you like him and the Sonic series so much? WB: 1997. Because I love how the characters all interact with each other as well as its storyline (just so you know, I prefer the game storyline, probably followed by Archie. We will not speak of Sonic Underground because that does not exist ;-)) And I like it because.... I dunno. It's a charming series, no matter which way you look at it. One the surface it seems like Sonic is just a speedy blue rat, but when you examine it you find friendship, death, goofiness, seriousness, and all sorts of things that make a good story or a good character work. It's hard for me to pinpoint one thing about Sonic that I like because I like a lot of things about the series, games, and characters as a whole. TSS: Which character do you find the most complex and a favorite of yours in the series? And what do you think about the recent games like the Sonic Adventure series, Sonic Advance series, upcoming Sonic Heroes to the classic 2D Genesis games? WB: Most complex? I would have to say Knuckles on all accounts, though I highly prefer the SEGASonic Knuckles to ArchieSonic Knuckles. My favorite character however would have to be one of the more obscure ones - Bean The Dynamite. :-) I've always seen Bean as being the Looney Tune of the Sonic Universe for some reason. I'd kill to be the one to introduce him and Bark into Archie if I could do it right. :-) As far as recent games - I like the Adventure series, although (like everybody has said) they need to work on that camera ;-) Sonic has made a pretty good transition to 3D, unlike most characters. And that says something for me at least because I'm not quick to jump on the "LETS DO 3D CUZ EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT" bandwagon. ^^ I didn't like Advance 1 that much (wasn't bad, wasn't great), and I thought Advance 2 was a great improvement. I liked the boss system, though it could do without that batshit insane Chaos Emerald Special Ring system. XD There's still a few aspects from the Genny games that I wish they'd bring back to 3D though - branching paths, larger levels, bosses at the end of the levels, and special stages. I see a few have been brought back for Heroes - including the Chaotix. So I have high expectations of it, much like all Sonic games I play. In the end though, as long as I have fun playing it, that's what matters. ^^ TSS: What do you want to see in the near future with the Sonic game series? Is there any type of Sonic game that you hope one day is made, or do you have your own ideas? WB: I don't see how it's possibly feasible, given the speedy aspect of Sonic, but I would love to see a Sonic RPG in some format. I know a LOT of people would too - and the storyline has been developed enough that it is not entirely improbable. It'd just be hard to execute correctly. :-) Also - and this is a pipe dream, of course - but I wish there was some better way of tying the games to the comics. But I suppose its better to keep the two branches separate in the end. TSS: For all the great things you've done so far in your young life, who do you thank the most in helping you or showing you how to live and so on? WB: Three people. My mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather. They are the three most influential people in my life, and still are to a great extent. I also thank God for such a wonderful talent that I was given. When others around me are happy, I'm happy. And I'm glad to know I can make others happy with my artwork :-) My only wish is that someone out there will read whatever comics I do - be they CNW, TT, or Sonic - and be given a huge grin when they see every page. I care about every page and panel that I do, and I have a very strong work ethic - that's something all three of the people I mentioned taught me, and it's something I hope to teach to my kids.... someday.... waaaaaaaaaaaay down the road when I'm ready for them. XD XD I wont put my name on something if I don't believe in its quality, 'cause everything that I put out represents me and what I believe in, and I don't want to marr that under any circumstances. ^_^ TSS: What do you expect to accomplish - and want to accomplish - in the coming years, and where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years? WB: My ultimate goal, of course, is to be an animator/cartoonist. Own my own studio and really innovate the industry and make cartoons that are FUN to watch again and earn respect. IMO, cartoons are not just for children. That's always been my dream; to produce my own stuff the way I WANT to see it done. In five to ten years? Hopefully I'll be in that position or on much closer to it. Sonic is just the beginning of what I can do as far as I'm concerned. :-) And maybe by then I'll be ready to settle down too. As for right now I still have plenty of time. ;-) TSS: Would you like to add anything before we wrap this up and ship it out? WB: Umm... hello to everybody out there. I hope you like my work as much as I liked doing it! And please feel free (and don't be afraid) to visit my message board and tell me what you think of my Sonic work (and other work) - both good AND BAD (oh, and please don't be jarred by the old stuff thats on my page XD). I can't grow in what I do if I don't know what it is people do and don't like. ;-) And I hope you enjoy my tenure on Sonic The Hedgehog! ^^ TSS: Thanks for taking the time to do this fun interview WB, and Merry Christmas! WB: Merry Christmas to you too :-)
  2. WB is one of the best fan artists in the Sonic Internet Community today, and has a long history contributing artwork too. These days, WB even has a hand in Archie's official Sonic the Hedgehog comic series - living the dream! Buckle up though, this is probably one of the craziest interviews we've done yet. TSS: Hey WB, thanks for joining our exclusive interview! WB: No problemo ^^ Thanks for having me ^^ TSS: I always ask the first question as, why are you important in the Sonic Community, and who's your favorite Backstreet Boy? WB: I have no favorite Backstreet Boy. Backstreet Boys are evil and must BUUUURRRN! ^_^ I didnt think I was famous... I'm cute and all the wimmins love my 8-tracks. But I dont think I'm that famous. Just your average longtime fan. For about five and a half years or so... I was the second webmaster of Sonic HQ. I co-modded with 'Vector', who is still there. I also do a lot of Sonic art as well, though I haven't updated my old archives in a long time. A lot of people still like the stuff I did I guess ^_^ I'm also currently still a mod at the The Sonic Foundation (tSf) board and frequent a lot of places in the Sonic community. TSS: When did you first start your love of Sonic the Hedgehog? Better yet, how? WB: Geez... Make me feel all old why don't you? ^_^ I had ALWAYS liked Sonic. My first game was Sonic 1, but I really fell in love with Sonic 2. Super Sonic is what did it. I thought that was just the most awesome thing in the world for some reason. ^_^ And by Sonic 3 it was just all over. But, I think it started at the end of high school. I'm in college now, but I think I was looking for info on either a Sonic game or info on the comic. I browsed a bunch of pages - Kedzie K's (tSf) wasnt up back then, but I came across Zifei's Sonic Page (which became Sonic HQ) and a little derelict joint called the Mobius Forum. I made a post there, in typical newbie fashion ("HI MY NAMES WB AND I LOKE SONIC STUFF !! YOUR PAGE IS KEWL !!!!!!!!!!!!") and it just sorta ballooned from there. The people were really cool and there was a good atmosphere. So it became my "hangout" on the 'net. And thats how I became absorbed into the Sonic community ^^ TSS: From then on you've become big in the community. Where did the name 'WB' come from anyways? Did your friends just decide to call you that or is there another reason? WB: "WB" came from my roommate in college. I drew... A LOT... and I had a BIG LOVE for Warner Bros. cartoons and animation. Still do. Thats my ultimate goal in life actually - is to become an animator. So instead of Jonathan, my roommate called me WB, and that became my name all over campus! I liked it so much that it's the name I use on the 'net. Even when I transferred to SCAD some people down here call me WB because I'm so used to it now. ^__^ Essentially it means "Warner Brothers" ^__^ Surprisingly I get that question a lot. TSS: When did you start drawing excellent pictures of Sonic and co for Sonic HQ? Why did you decide to give 'Vector' your webmaster spot at the HQ? WB: I did all the 'Sonic Icon' pictures at Sonic HQ, with the exception of Tony Nguyen who did the awesome 3D pictures that you see floating around in the titlebar. I think I wanted to do something new and had found a script that allowed you to randomize pictures. So, I drew several small pictures of the characters in the classic "Sonic rings" and welded them down a bit to fit. It was just something I did cause I thought it'd be cool to do plus it gave me an excuse to draw tons of characters. ^_^ Actually, the reason why I ultimately stepped down from SHQ was because I wanted to pursue my own career in art and build a portfolio. This was something I couldn't do before, because SHQ consumed a lot of my time - I was so dedicated to it, and the people there. A lot of friends of mine, including Kedzie and Katrice, were the ones who convinced me that I really should pursue an online comic strip and go for it after I had told them my ideas. I had the idea, but didn't think it'd go anywhere, but they convinced me and I did. I ultimately decided that five years at SHQ was more than enough and I had done what I wanted to do. It didnt mean leaving, just going on to new things. So I told Vector beforehand (who went into panic attack mode at first, but understood being the cool person that he is) and chose my successor (Kat aka "True Red" who does the Knuckles Haven homepage). After which, I went and worked on my TWO daily comic strips, Chip & Walter and Time Trouble, which you can find here: http://chipandwalter.keenspace.com/ I think its been a pretty good success so far, and I'm happy and I dont regret my decision ONE BIT. ^___^ TSS: You're into SEGASonic - are you also into the other universes of Sonic? WB: You haven't read CNW and TT! Shame! Shame! Yup. I like, and still read, the Archie Comic (when it does OK; when it doesn't I become violent ^__^). It has its issues, but I think it stands on its own fairly well. I like SatAM (thank heavens that we'll finally be getting DVDs so now I have MORE excuses to spend my money) and of course I love SEGASonic. AoSTH is OK in small doses... Yes... I am the one that is guilty of writing the AoSTH episode guide on Sonic HQ. The culprit is me. It's not... bad... but it's not good either. Mama Robotnik must DIE. And I'll probably piss off the Sonic Underground fans, but I'm not really that big a fan of it. It could have been tolerable maybe, without the music... it's NOT as bad as AoSTH in many areas, but it's not good either. It's like... Alvin and the Chipmunks meets Sonic the Hedgehog. And that's just a no-no !!! ^_^ But hey, you win some you lose some. Sorry SU fans, it's just not my cup of tea. TSS: Have you been doing some Sonic art lately? Where did you get the ideas for your online comic and have you ever thought about doing Sonic fan fiction? WB: Sonic art - surprisingly YES. I'll be doing some new logos for tSf (one that should be ready by next week if all goes well). I'm currently slated to do the cover for Other-M #16 and if I have time I'd like to do #17 as well. If I have some time over Christmas break I'd like to maybe spend some time doing another classic collage picture that I like to do so much As for my online comic - all the characters with me are my own and have been with me since middle school They've ALWAYS been mine. Time Trouble is a little more special though because it relates to Sonic fandom in a way. Each one of the main cast is based loosely off someone I know. My old cast that I had for it never really gelled with me, so I re-tooled it over time and asked certain people if I could use their name and such. For example - the main character is named Kedzie C of all things Lienne Chan is named after Lien N, another popular Sonic fan artist who's a cool friend of mine. Astute Sonic fans should notice fan influence in every main cast character with the exception of Lucky and Sterling. Since I do two comic strips, there are two separate storylines. CNW is based off my love for the classic Disney stories that I remember so fondly (you remember them, back before the Disney Afternoon sucked?) and my love of the work of Carl Barks. Time Trouble actually evolved from a short story I wrote in middle school and I liked the concept so much, that I kept it. It's a fantasy/action/comedy cartoon strip. So both are two entirely different genres, but have LOTS of comedy ^___^ And I've NEVER thought of doing fan fiction, though I guess I can write since I do the strips (haven't heard a complaint yet ^____^). But if I were to do one, I'd rather draw out a fanfic. I had actually planned on drawing out a Dan Drazen fanfic once. But that was RIGHT before I launched CNW and TT TSS: I think Dan would enjoy something like that, maybe if you get any extra time you could do so. What do you think of Sonic going on to other non Sega systems, like Gamecube and GBA? WB: I don't mind it at all. I never really did. Sega will still have control of Sonic and Sonic Team will still have thier baby. As long as the games are good and the gameplay rocks, the Sonic series will never die. It's just in the realm of Nintendo and Mario land now. And who am I to complain as long as Sonic stays alive? If you had asked me BEFORE if we'd have ever seen Sonic and Mario together though, I'd have called you a loon... ^__^ But personally, I think it's really cool, and a wise decision for now. I forgot! A good perk of this is that we'll finally have another handheld 2D Sonic game, considering what SNK did after Sonic Pocket was released ^___^ TSS: SNK just quit recently actually, I guess sales weren't going too well. Will you ever think about going back to Sonic HQ's staff, or work on a Sonic Fan Site of your own? WB: No. I'm through with Sonic sites. They're too freakin' hard to maintain! LOL! (j/k) With the exception of modding at the Sonic Foundation board, lurking around on the mailing lists, popping into the Mobius Forums to utter random nonsense or checking the Ken Penders board to harass the locals (KARL BOLLERS IS SMOOOOOTH) I won't do any new webpages anytime soon. It's all about CNW now. TSS: Could you explain the above picture? It’s on your website’s ‘About Me’ page. WB: LOL! We don’t like to talk about that. It tends to scare the children when we release it to the public. TSS: You were in a car crash recently, right? There are rumors saying a crazy old lady with 400 cats started it. Is this true? WB: LOL! Actually it was an old guy AND an old woman. I remembered the woman first because she was the first and only thing I saw before I blacked out after the air bag went all ‘Mike Tyson’ on me and tried to bite off my ear. ^__^ BUT basically, this guy who was older than the Egyptian Pyramids pulled out in front of a tractor trailer to do an illegal left turn. I was on the other side of the tractor trailer, he didn’t know I was there… you do the math. As for the 400 cats? Well… rumor has it that there were 500… but nothing has been proven. YET! TSS: When you win your emmy award, what will you say to the crowd? And also, thanks for taking the time for this interview, click here to sample his art and head to his website. WB: Screw the Emmy. I'm goin' for the Nobel Prize baby! **AHEM** I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STEPPING STONES IN LIFE AND BEING THERE TO JUST BE THE DARLING THINGS YOU ARE! You've been simply faboo! We must do this again sometime - you, me, the Hamptons, it will be the GALA event of the year you silly thing you ;D And who said the interview was over???? What aout MY questions? For instance if you can't believe it's not butter then what did you believe it was before you ate it?" ^___^ Ba-dump-bump! Seriously - thanks for interviewing me - it was fun ^^ AND VISIT CNW AND TT! WORSHIP THE GROUND IT WAS WRITTEN ON AND BURN EFFIGIES OF THE CHARACTERS NIGHTLY !!!
  3. WB, known in real life as Jonathan Gray, has had a big hand in shaping the landscape of the current online Sonic the Hedgehog community. Not only is he an incredibly talented artist (which led him to now doing lots of work for Archie Comics), but he has also supervised the operation of Sonic HQ for many years. Sonic_Hedgehogs catches up with WB to learn more about his time at the site, his career and his personal projects, such as the web comic Chip n' Walter. TSS: Hey WB, Merry Christmas and thanks for taking the time for the interview! WB: Thank you for having me here! ^_^ TSS: No problem man. First off, who are you in the Sonic Internet Community and what makes people think of you when they think of veteran Sonic Internet guys? WB: Well - my name is Jonathan H. Gray, but a lot of people know me better online as WB or Dub. :-) Surprisingly I've been a member of the Sonic community online since 1997, my grad year of high school (which is an obscenely long time, but hey, I love the people online whom I talk to regularly and we all share common interests). I was a co-administrator at Sonic HQ for several years and later on became an admin at the TSF Message Boards. Both of which I still hang out regularly at, even though I've stepped down long ago. When people think of me I guess they think of how silly or goofy I always am around everything. :-) TSS: How did you get involved with the Sonic HQ, which most Sonic community people see as one of the first major Sonic websites that is still pulling in a lot of visitors daily. WB: I came across the place when I was looking up info on the old Genny Sonic games. :-) I had no idea Sonic was so intensive at that time. Zifei Wu, the guy who initially created the site, was looking for some help in running the page. SHQ had kind of gotten real big and he was thinking of maybe asking people on The Mofo (SHQ's MB) if they'd like to be on staff. That was when the Mofo was on one board and cramped and everything else. ^^ I figured, "why not?". I had already been there for maybe a year and joined up afterwards. When Zifei stepped down there was some confusion over who would take over the site, so it was later decided that I'd handle the small stuff while Vector (the other admin) handled the technical stuff. The staff and the board always felt like one big online family to me, so I just kinda stayed and that was that. :-) TSS: When did you gain full control of the Sonic HQ and what things do you remember most from your webmaster days of the HQ that have helped you along other projects? WB: Oh geez....To be honest I don't remember the exact day Zifei left and I got control. But it had to be '98 or '99 I think. I didn't choose to officially leave the site and my position as board administrator until last year. If there's one thing I learned from doing SHQ that has benefited me GREATLY now, it's that I now know how to build webpages, as well as knowing when to not go too far on them (anybody who remembers how SHQ used to be drowned with midi's will know what I'm talking about XD). I also learned how to deal with people. Being an admin at the SHQ and TSF boards kind of helped me get a thicker skin to everything around me. Not everybody you meet IRL or online are exactly the nicest you'll have met. Though I try to get along with everybody I meet. ^^ TSS: When did you decide it was time to hand the Sonic HQ down and retire from being the webmaster of the site? WB: It took a long time for me to make that decision. To be honest. I had grown tired of it. It wasn't the people I disliked or anything else, but the work of administrator had become a chore, so to speak. So I was rather conflicted as to what to do. For a long time I had wanted to do a webcomic much like my longtime online friend Ian J does (he writes and draws RPG World for those who are familiar with it). I had my own characters that I've always wanted to do something with in the future, and all these stories in my head and whatnot. And then there was SHQ. Also at the time - I was going to Tennessee State University and I was nearing my junior year. I wasn't really happy with the way my major was going and it felt more and more like SHQ matters were getting in the way of my animation career that I wanted to pursue - as well as my pet project ('Chip n' Walter' and 'Time Trouble') that I had always wanted to do. So I made some pretty big decisions since obviously something had to go. I couldn't do SHQ for the rest of my life, so I chose to step down. Because I wasn't happy with TSU as far as my major went, I also decided to transfer. I sat out one quarter to save some extra money and then I transferred to the Savannah College of Art & Design. During that off time I finally bit the bullet, resigned from SHQ (though I stayed on as board admin there and at TSF), and I pretty much started CNW/TT at Keenspace from nothing. I've never regretted the decision since, and I'm a lot happier. :-) I left the board positions when Archie rolled around. And that's that. TSS: Tell us about your online comics, 'Chip n' Walter' and 'Time Trouble'? is it sort of a daily comic, a comedy? And when did you think of starting it? WB: Right now it hasn't been updated in a while. I usually ceased production on it during Final Exam and Registration time, but during my grad exams something kind of came up that halted production of it for a bit ;-) Chip and Walter and Time Trouble are actually two entirely different webcomics with entirely different stories. It's just that they are both on the same page because I didn't want to separate them. CNW harkens back to my love of the old 'Disney Afternoon' cartoons. You know - back when studios actually cared about what they put out. ;-) Chip and Walter is the story of four children: Chip, Walter, Wendy, and Artie Duckbill, and how they have to adjust to their new life after the mysterious death of their father at the hands of the NSFFS Corporation. The story is all about being a kid (or an adult) and learning how to adjusting to a new situation - something I'm sure everybody can relate to. When their world is basically destroyed overnight, they have to learn how to be kids and trust people all over again, Baxter Taft - their godfather - must now adjust to being the sudden father of four children, in addition to his nephew whom he already takes care of. And Professor Wetbread (recurring villain and fave character amongst the people that have stuck with my strip) has to learn how to build his life over from scratch after the death of his best friend - of which he has been blamed and is now driven mad over.... I make it sound a lot more serious than it actually is (CNW is actually the most fun of the two IMO), but you get the gist of it. :-) Time Trouble harkens back to my love for all of the old fantasy stories I read as a kid: Wizard Of Oz, that sort of thing. Seven kids get whisked away to a land full of magic and intrigue and travel. In their haste to get home, however, they become embroiled in a mystery about the children that preceded them in coming to Timeland. What happened to them, how they relate in the grand scheme of things. It's hard to say which is my personal favorite, but with Time Trouble I can deal with a lot of stuff that wouldn't work in CNW - racism, death, and everything else. At the end of the day its seven kids finding their place in the world, growing up with each other through good and bad, and creating their own destinies and legends. TSS: Do you plan on creating any other comic series to go along with your current two? And do these two comics relate in anyway? WB: I have other ideas in my head for comics and whatnot, but CNW/TT have been with me since middle school. TT has been with me even longer than that. Those two are my babies so to speak so for now I'm sticking with them. ^_^ They do relate to each other in small ways, but not too much. I prefer to keep the stories for the two comics separate so you aren't forced to read one to understand the other. :-) When I'm in a goofier mood I mix the two casts and just go completely random. XD The best example of this would be the first birthday strip (where my long time LNR gag was introduced ;-)) and the "Computer Funeral" strip that I did when my old computer of 5 years died on me, which people STILL tell me is their absolute favorite. XD TSS: I'd hate to put you against your creations, but of the many characters you've created, who would you pick as your favorite or most memorable character? WB: For CNW - Cameron. I love characters who are complete and total idiots, yet somehow manage to outsmart everyone else around them. XD For TT...... Sterling Silver. Most loathsome character I've ever had a hand in creating ^^ TSS: So, I heard a story that some crazy artist joined the ranks of Archie to do the Sonic comics, is this true? WB: I have no idea whom you could be referring to, good sir. :D TSS: You of course, Mr. WB! ^_- So, how did you get a job helping out the Archie Sonic comics? Did they find you? WB: Actually - the people I have to thank for that are J. Axer and Karl Bollers. Coolest guys alive. :-) The staff needed one more artist and Axer asked me if I would be interested. I said yes (ecstatically), submitted some stuff to Axer as samples, later talked with Karl and submitted some more stuff and voila. :-) If it weren't for Axer I'd never have had this opportunity to finally prove myself. TSS: Sounds great! So what have you done so far in the comics and which issue did you start in? WB: My initial submission was actually four pages of Sonic #132 (which Dave Manak drew), but it was way too late to even think about getting the whole story done in time, since Dave's pages had already gone into production. I'll post those up on my portfolio page after that book comes out. I finished Sonic #134 last month, which was the epilogue to the four-part "Home" story arc. That will be out in March. :-) I've also been working exclusively with Karl Bollers since I got on at Archie, and just recently I finished doing about 10-12 new character designs and color references. My next books, which I am currently working on, will be a full four-part story arc that I'm drawing that begins in Sonic #138. :-) TSS: Whats it like working on the comics? Is there something that you enjoy about it most? WB: I love it. :-) I like the fact that I'm allowed to get away with some things since I'm mischievous like that. ^^ StH #134 will be RIDDLED with easter egg cameos - from Flickies to Chao to Billy Hatcher. I love doing that kind of stuff. One character cameo in particular will be bound to get a select group of Sonic fans to develop a BIG GRIN. XD I like the fact that I'm having FUN on it. At the moment it doesn't feel like "a job", even though it is, you know? There are a few issues here and there but overall its been a fun and very good learning experience for me, especially in the field that I want to pursue. The thing I enjoy the most though would have to be consulting with Karl on story stuff. I'm flattered that he values my opinions good or bad on story stuff, and I think that in the end - when the creatives work together more closely - it results in better stories and artwork. He critiques me on stuff and vice-versa, like talking to an old friend. I don't feel pressured or thrown into situations over my head. TSS: When did you first become a Sonic fan, and why do you like him and the Sonic series so much? WB: 1997. Because I love how the characters all interact with each other as well as its storyline (just so you know, I prefer the game storyline, probably followed by Archie. We will not speak of Sonic Underground because that does not exist ;-)) And I like it because.... I dunno. It's a charming series, no matter which way you look at it. One the surface it seems like Sonic is just a speedy blue rat, but when you examine it you find friendship, death, goofiness, seriousness, and all sorts of things that make a good story or a good character work. It's hard for me to pinpoint one thing about Sonic that I like because I like a lot of things about the series, games, and characters as a whole. TSS: Which character do you find the most complex and a favorite of yours in the series? And what do you think about the recent games like the Sonic Adventure series, Sonic Advance series, upcoming Sonic Heroes to the classic 2D Genesis games? WB: Most complex? I would have to say Knuckles on all accounts, though I highly prefer the SEGASonic Knuckles to ArchieSonic Knuckles. My favorite character however would have to be one of the more obscure ones - Bean The Dynamite. :-) I've always seen Bean as being the Looney Tune of the Sonic Universe for some reason. I'd kill to be the one to introduce him and Bark into Archie if I could do it right. :-) As far as recent games - I like the Adventure series, although (like everybody has said) they need to work on that camera ;-) Sonic has made a pretty good transition to 3D, unlike most characters. And that says something for me at least because I'm not quick to jump on the "LETS DO 3D CUZ EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT" bandwagon. ^^ I didn't like Advance 1 that much (wasn't bad, wasn't great), and I thought Advance 2 was a great improvement. I liked the boss system, though it could do without that batshit insane Chaos Emerald Special Ring system. XD There's still a few aspects from the Genny games that I wish they'd bring back to 3D though - branching paths, larger levels, bosses at the end of the levels, and special stages. I see a few have been brought back for Heroes - including the Chaotix. So I have high expectations of it, much like all Sonic games I play. In the end though, as long as I have fun playing it, that's what matters. ^^ TSS: What do you want to see in the near future with the Sonic game series? Is there any type of Sonic game that you hope one day is made, or do you have your own ideas? WB: I don't see how it's possibly feasible, given the speedy aspect of Sonic, but I would love to see a Sonic RPG in some format. I know a LOT of people would too - and the storyline has been developed enough that it is not entirely improbable. It'd just be hard to execute correctly. :-) Also - and this is a pipe dream, of course - but I wish there was some better way of tying the games to the comics. But I suppose its better to keep the two branches separate in the end. TSS: For all the great things you've done so far in your young life, who do you thank the most in helping you or showing you how to live and so on? WB: Three people. My mother, my grandmother, and my grandfather. They are the three most influential people in my life, and still are to a great extent. I also thank God for such a wonderful talent that I was given. When others around me are happy, I'm happy. And I'm glad to know I can make others happy with my artwork :-) My only wish is that someone out there will read whatever comics I do - be they CNW, TT, or Sonic - and be given a huge grin when they see every page. I care about every page and panel that I do, and I have a very strong work ethic - that's something all three of the people I mentioned taught me, and it's something I hope to teach to my kids.... someday.... waaaaaaaaaaaay down the road when I'm ready for them. XD XD I wont put my name on something if I don't believe in its quality, 'cause everything that I put out represents me and what I believe in, and I don't want to marr that under any circumstances. ^_^ TSS: What do you expect to accomplish - and want to accomplish - in the coming years, and where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years? WB: My ultimate goal, of course, is to be an animator/cartoonist. Own my own studio and really innovate the industry and make cartoons that are FUN to watch again and earn respect. IMO, cartoons are not just for children. That's always been my dream; to produce my own stuff the way I WANT to see it done. In five to ten years? Hopefully I'll be in that position or on much closer to it. Sonic is just the beginning of what I can do as far as I'm concerned. :-) And maybe by then I'll be ready to settle down too. As for right now I still have plenty of time. ;-) TSS: Would you like to add anything before we wrap this up and ship it out? WB: Umm... hello to everybody out there. I hope you like my work as much as I liked doing it! And please feel free (and don't be afraid) to visit my message board and tell me what you think of my Sonic work (and other work) - both good AND BAD (oh, and please don't be jarred by the old stuff thats on my page XD). I can't grow in what I do if I don't know what it is people do and don't like. ;-) And I hope you enjoy my tenure on Sonic The Hedgehog! ^^ TSS: Thanks for taking the time to do this fun interview WB, and Merry Christmas! WB: Merry Christmas to you too :-) View full story
  4. WB is one of the best fan artists in the Sonic Internet Community today, and has a long history contributing artwork too. These days, WB even has a hand in Archie's official Sonic the Hedgehog comic series - living the dream! Buckle up though, this is probably one of the craziest interviews we've done yet. TSS: Hey WB, thanks for joining our exclusive interview! WB: No problemo ^^ Thanks for having me ^^ TSS: I always ask the first question as, why are you important in the Sonic Community, and who's your favorite Backstreet Boy? WB: I have no favorite Backstreet Boy. Backstreet Boys are evil and must BUUUURRRN! ^_^ I didnt think I was famous... I'm cute and all the wimmins love my 8-tracks. But I dont think I'm that famous. Just your average longtime fan. For about five and a half years or so... I was the second webmaster of Sonic HQ. I co-modded with 'Vector', who is still there. I also do a lot of Sonic art as well, though I haven't updated my old archives in a long time. A lot of people still like the stuff I did I guess ^_^ I'm also currently still a mod at the The Sonic Foundation (tSf) board and frequent a lot of places in the Sonic community. TSS: When did you first start your love of Sonic the Hedgehog? Better yet, how? WB: Geez... Make me feel all old why don't you? ^_^ I had ALWAYS liked Sonic. My first game was Sonic 1, but I really fell in love with Sonic 2. Super Sonic is what did it. I thought that was just the most awesome thing in the world for some reason. ^_^ And by Sonic 3 it was just all over. But, I think it started at the end of high school. I'm in college now, but I think I was looking for info on either a Sonic game or info on the comic. I browsed a bunch of pages - Kedzie K's (tSf) wasnt up back then, but I came across Zifei's Sonic Page (which became Sonic HQ) and a little derelict joint called the Mobius Forum. I made a post there, in typical newbie fashion ("HI MY NAMES WB AND I LOKE SONIC STUFF !! YOUR PAGE IS KEWL !!!!!!!!!!!!") and it just sorta ballooned from there. The people were really cool and there was a good atmosphere. So it became my "hangout" on the 'net. And thats how I became absorbed into the Sonic community ^^ TSS: From then on you've become big in the community. Where did the name 'WB' come from anyways? Did your friends just decide to call you that or is there another reason? WB: "WB" came from my roommate in college. I drew... A LOT... and I had a BIG LOVE for Warner Bros. cartoons and animation. Still do. Thats my ultimate goal in life actually - is to become an animator. So instead of Jonathan, my roommate called me WB, and that became my name all over campus! I liked it so much that it's the name I use on the 'net. Even when I transferred to SCAD some people down here call me WB because I'm so used to it now. ^__^ Essentially it means "Warner Brothers" ^__^ Surprisingly I get that question a lot. TSS: When did you start drawing excellent pictures of Sonic and co for Sonic HQ? Why did you decide to give 'Vector' your webmaster spot at the HQ? WB: I did all the 'Sonic Icon' pictures at Sonic HQ, with the exception of Tony Nguyen who did the awesome 3D pictures that you see floating around in the titlebar. I think I wanted to do something new and had found a script that allowed you to randomize pictures. So, I drew several small pictures of the characters in the classic "Sonic rings" and welded them down a bit to fit. It was just something I did cause I thought it'd be cool to do plus it gave me an excuse to draw tons of characters. ^_^ Actually, the reason why I ultimately stepped down from SHQ was because I wanted to pursue my own career in art and build a portfolio. This was something I couldn't do before, because SHQ consumed a lot of my time - I was so dedicated to it, and the people there. A lot of friends of mine, including Kedzie and Katrice, were the ones who convinced me that I really should pursue an online comic strip and go for it after I had told them my ideas. I had the idea, but didn't think it'd go anywhere, but they convinced me and I did. I ultimately decided that five years at SHQ was more than enough and I had done what I wanted to do. It didnt mean leaving, just going on to new things. So I told Vector beforehand (who went into panic attack mode at first, but understood being the cool person that he is) and chose my successor (Kat aka "True Red" who does the Knuckles Haven homepage). After which, I went and worked on my TWO daily comic strips, Chip & Walter and Time Trouble, which you can find here: http://chipandwalter.keenspace.com/ I think its been a pretty good success so far, and I'm happy and I dont regret my decision ONE BIT. ^___^ TSS: You're into SEGASonic - are you also into the other universes of Sonic? WB: You haven't read CNW and TT! Shame! Shame! Yup. I like, and still read, the Archie Comic (when it does OK; when it doesn't I become violent ^__^). It has its issues, but I think it stands on its own fairly well. I like SatAM (thank heavens that we'll finally be getting DVDs so now I have MORE excuses to spend my money) and of course I love SEGASonic. AoSTH is OK in small doses... Yes... I am the one that is guilty of writing the AoSTH episode guide on Sonic HQ. The culprit is me. It's not... bad... but it's not good either. Mama Robotnik must DIE. And I'll probably piss off the Sonic Underground fans, but I'm not really that big a fan of it. It could have been tolerable maybe, without the music... it's NOT as bad as AoSTH in many areas, but it's not good either. It's like... Alvin and the Chipmunks meets Sonic the Hedgehog. And that's just a no-no !!! ^_^ But hey, you win some you lose some. Sorry SU fans, it's just not my cup of tea. TSS: Have you been doing some Sonic art lately? Where did you get the ideas for your online comic and have you ever thought about doing Sonic fan fiction? WB: Sonic art - surprisingly YES. I'll be doing some new logos for tSf (one that should be ready by next week if all goes well). I'm currently slated to do the cover for Other-M #16 and if I have time I'd like to do #17 as well. If I have some time over Christmas break I'd like to maybe spend some time doing another classic collage picture that I like to do so much As for my online comic - all the characters with me are my own and have been with me since middle school They've ALWAYS been mine. Time Trouble is a little more special though because it relates to Sonic fandom in a way. Each one of the main cast is based loosely off someone I know. My old cast that I had for it never really gelled with me, so I re-tooled it over time and asked certain people if I could use their name and such. For example - the main character is named Kedzie C of all things Lienne Chan is named after Lien N, another popular Sonic fan artist who's a cool friend of mine. Astute Sonic fans should notice fan influence in every main cast character with the exception of Lucky and Sterling. Since I do two comic strips, there are two separate storylines. CNW is based off my love for the classic Disney stories that I remember so fondly (you remember them, back before the Disney Afternoon sucked?) and my love of the work of Carl Barks. Time Trouble actually evolved from a short story I wrote in middle school and I liked the concept so much, that I kept it. It's a fantasy/action/comedy cartoon strip. So both are two entirely different genres, but have LOTS of comedy ^___^ And I've NEVER thought of doing fan fiction, though I guess I can write since I do the strips (haven't heard a complaint yet ^____^). But if I were to do one, I'd rather draw out a fanfic. I had actually planned on drawing out a Dan Drazen fanfic once. But that was RIGHT before I launched CNW and TT TSS: I think Dan would enjoy something like that, maybe if you get any extra time you could do so. What do you think of Sonic going on to other non Sega systems, like Gamecube and GBA? WB: I don't mind it at all. I never really did. Sega will still have control of Sonic and Sonic Team will still have thier baby. As long as the games are good and the gameplay rocks, the Sonic series will never die. It's just in the realm of Nintendo and Mario land now. And who am I to complain as long as Sonic stays alive? If you had asked me BEFORE if we'd have ever seen Sonic and Mario together though, I'd have called you a loon... ^__^ But personally, I think it's really cool, and a wise decision for now. I forgot! A good perk of this is that we'll finally have another handheld 2D Sonic game, considering what SNK did after Sonic Pocket was released ^___^ TSS: SNK just quit recently actually, I guess sales weren't going too well. Will you ever think about going back to Sonic HQ's staff, or work on a Sonic Fan Site of your own? WB: No. I'm through with Sonic sites. They're too freakin' hard to maintain! LOL! (j/k) With the exception of modding at the Sonic Foundation board, lurking around on the mailing lists, popping into the Mobius Forums to utter random nonsense or checking the Ken Penders board to harass the locals (KARL BOLLERS IS SMOOOOOTH) I won't do any new webpages anytime soon. It's all about CNW now. TSS: Could you explain the above picture? It’s on your website’s ‘About Me’ page. WB: LOL! We don’t like to talk about that. It tends to scare the children when we release it to the public. TSS: You were in a car crash recently, right? There are rumors saying a crazy old lady with 400 cats started it. Is this true? WB: LOL! Actually it was an old guy AND an old woman. I remembered the woman first because she was the first and only thing I saw before I blacked out after the air bag went all ‘Mike Tyson’ on me and tried to bite off my ear. ^__^ BUT basically, this guy who was older than the Egyptian Pyramids pulled out in front of a tractor trailer to do an illegal left turn. I was on the other side of the tractor trailer, he didn’t know I was there… you do the math. As for the 400 cats? Well… rumor has it that there were 500… but nothing has been proven. YET! TSS: When you win your emmy award, what will you say to the crowd? And also, thanks for taking the time for this interview, click here to sample his art and head to his website. WB: Screw the Emmy. I'm goin' for the Nobel Prize baby! **AHEM** I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STEPPING STONES IN LIFE AND BEING THERE TO JUST BE THE DARLING THINGS YOU ARE! You've been simply faboo! We must do this again sometime - you, me, the Hamptons, it will be the GALA event of the year you silly thing you ;D And who said the interview was over???? What aout MY questions? For instance if you can't believe it's not butter then what did you believe it was before you ate it?" ^___^ Ba-dump-bump! Seriously - thanks for interviewing me - it was fun ^^ AND VISIT CNW AND TT! WORSHIP THE GROUND IT WAS WRITTEN ON AND BURN EFFIGIES OF THE CHARACTERS NIGHTLY !!! View full story
