This strip was going to have a series of strips about Scientology. In fact, the very first strip already hinted at this. I had even drawn my own version of Xenu.
Then, "Project Chanology" happened – anonymous activists gathering for global protests at Scientology branch offices – and my jokes on the topic suddenly looked rather stale.
The three protesters are based on disguises worn by (in-)famous Chanology protesters. Only one of the slogans of the signs is made up, the rest I've picked up from photos.
The frontispiece disguises are cross-pollinations I came up with on the spur of the moment: The front mask is a hybrid of the Guy Fawkes mask worn by many protesters and the "Walrus" mask worn by John Lennon for the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour.
Please, dear reader, let me know whether you like THIS IS ME. Criticism is also appreciated. It's feedback keeps me going. Feel free to e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (please replace AT and DOT with the corresponding characters, sorry about that hurdle).
