• Lar, I'm having trouble viewing the stream right now. I can't see the video. What do I do?

• Lar, I hear you work with someone else. Tell me about that, please. Lar says, "I work with Ryan Sohmer. He's the writing half of both Least I Could Do, which updates seven days a week, and Looking for Group, which updates Mondays and Thursdays. You can find those comics at leasticoulddo.com and lfgcomic.com, respectively."
• Lar, do you ever appear anywhere, and when are you coming near me? Lar says, "Well, I may be appearing near you. Please check http://www.leasticoulddo.com/, down near the bottom of the page to see our list of upcoming appearances. If you see that we're not coming to a venue near you, if you can get someone to pay to fly us and our merchandise out to a Con near you, we might consider it."
• Lar, is Looking for Group based off of World of Warcraft? Lar says, "No, it's our own creation and it draws inspiration from many different sources including the Sword of Truth series of books, the Wheel of Time, and many more. Looking for Group is bound by the rules of World of Warcraft no more than Galaxy Quest is bound by the rules of Star Trek. But, if you like World of Warcraft, you'll probably like Looking for Group. And no, I do not play World of Warcraft."

• Lar, what program do you use to capture your desktop for the broadcast? Lar uses WebcamMax.

• Lar, what is the oddest thing anyone's asked you to draw? Lar says, "I was asked to draw someone as a furry character that was half-gargoyle and half-kangaroo, and I wasn't sure how to draw that. It was definitely one of the stranger things that I've ever had to draw, and it didn't turn out very well. I was drawing it on smaller stationary, and it was a very cramped drawing. It was awful. He was thrilled with it, and I'm glad for that. Strangely enough, I enjoyed the challenge, but looking back, I was going 'What the hell was that?' I pride myself on being imaginative, but that was like... Wow!"
• Lar, what is your ancestry/nationality? Lar says, "My family migrated from Guyana"
• Lar, what was your first art job after school? Lar says, "I was a computer graphics designer."
