New strip is up. The inking struggles continue. http://www.inktank.com In other news I have updated the copywright date on my template. Now. 7 hours ago
InkTank aka. Barry Smith InkTank is your average, day to day geek with a family and a job as a web developer. He loves comic books, movies, action figures and gaming from computers to table tops. He can recite lines from Star Wars and Monty Python with the best of them. He also spends entirely too much time on the Internet. Oh, and he fancies himself a bit of a cartoonist.
Sophia aka. Barry’s Wife The woman behind the geek. Through her love and support, InkTank is able to suffer through the slings and arrows of the work-a-day world. While not quite as geeky as InkTank, she is more than understanding (for the most part) of his nerdy tendencies. Although she herself has been known to go on a Lord of the Rings bender every now and then.
Monique aka. Baby Mo Mo The “InkLing” is the apple of daddy’s eye and is a constant source of wonder and amusement. Through her, InkTank sees the world through fresh eyes … and has a good excuse to buy even more toys.
InkTank at Work
Dante The linchpin of Angst Technology. He’s the kind of guy that if he were hit by a bus, everyone might as well just go home. He is a hard worker, a chain smoker, and has strained his eyes to near nonexistence from staring at millions of lines of code. Some say he now has “binary” vision.
Hugh The Big Honcho. The Head Cheese. Not a bad man, just not a terribly bright man. He is the “Peter Principal” incarnate. “Why is he in charge?” you might ask. “He has all the money.” I would answer to you. After all, how do you make a small fortune in computer games? Start with a large fortune.
Webmonkey Taking the term “web monkey” to a new level. He don’t talk much, and he’s a sweet kid, but let him near Dante’s patented “Mocha Crunch” coffee, and he’s the guy you want on your Counter Strike team. Just don’t get on the wrong end of his throwing arm, if you know what I mean.
Marc An honest to God, nice, helpful customer support person who will go to the ends of the Earth to help you. That’s right folks, he does exist and we’ve got him. He was previously working for the “Psychic Friends Network”. Dione Warwick’s loss is Angst Technologies gain.
Yaz What can be said about Yaz besides he is a real doozy. His antics and shenanigans mark him as the consummate “flaky” artist. His talent for artistic endeavors enables the others to over look his more …uh… circumspect activities. He is the perverted older brother you always wanted (or already have).
Kit Kit is the queen bee of Angst Technology. With her, things run smoother, the boys are kept inline (mostly), and she is the first line of defense against the solicitors. Kit doesn’t know much about the gaming industry, but she know what it takes to make any company run smoothly.
I.T. Ninja The I.T. Ninjas are responsible for all the “behind the scenes” work done at Angst Technology. This includes, but is not limited to answering trouble tickets, server backups, defense against raiding samurai, network administration, equipment maintenance, and phones. They are loyal to their “master” Hugh and only make their presence known to certain Angst employees.
