ABOUT
Q: What is GastroPhobia about?
A: It's the real-life adventures of a barbarian warrior from Amazonia and her son living in Ancient Greece, roughly 3408 years ago. I did a lot of research to make this comic as accurate as possible. Q: Isn't your comic, in fact, historically inaccurate? A: Look, 1400 BC was a really long time ago. Our historical and archaeological records of that time are dodgy at best and laughable at worst. You'll just have to take my word that this comic is the 100% true portrayal of what really happened. Anyway, this comic is no less historically accurate than other serious illustrated documentaries like Asterix or Groo. Q: Why don't you use the modern designation, BCE ("Before Common Era"), instead of BC? A: Because this comic takes place before that practice was adopted. Q: What does "gastrophobia" mean? It's not in my dictionary or on phobialist.com. A: Man, I don't know. Let's say "fear of being eaten." From now on that's the definition. Any objections? No? Good. Q: But isn't there already a word for the fear of being eaten? A: So? The Eskimos have 7 hundred billion words for snow. Q: Why was Phobia banished from the Amazons? A: She tells Gastro it's because she's afraid of spiders and a true Amazon warrior is afraid of nothing. However, Phobia isn't actually afraid of spiders. What's up with that? Q: So, Phobia's not that good a warrior, huh? A: Phobia is an excellent sword-fighter. She's not too good with long-range weapons because she has no depth perception. Q: So, Gastro's not that good a bard, huh? A: Well, he's only seven years old. Q: Let me get this straight. Klepto is Phobia's slave? A: I don't approve of it either, but that's how they rolled in Ancient Greece. Q: What do you use to draw this comic? A: Adobe Flash and a tablet PC. Q: How can I contact you? A: bdavidmcguire@gmail.com
