The Source of Inspiration

Where do comic artists get their ideas? Some adapt real life incidents from their family or work life, some do intense research, some just go with the flow, and some have a system. In his latest comic, Chris Hallbeck of Maximumble steps out of his regular cartoon world to answer the most common question he hears. It must be a common question, because he gave almost the same answer when he gave Neatorama an interview a couple of years ago, except for the part about the worm. He wasn't yet ready to give credit to his collaborator back then.

It's the first face hugger prototype. Man, they wasted three actresses before hitting on the idea that making it from unyielding metal might not be such a good idea after all... But hey, that's why now we have Sigourney Weaver, so be thankful for the little thingamajig!

A set of regular tongs for a person with six very small hands (three arms/hands on each side of their body).

These are ancient wedding forks. The handles would have had ornately carved and bejeweled bone or ivory fittings. Way back in the "Game of Thrones" era, the bride and groom at a wedding would playfully try to take a bite from the same hunk of meat using forks like these. It was a way of showing the world that they were "in it together". It could often be a bloody affair and left many a nasty scar, but this is actually where the tradition of smashing cake into each others mouths got started.
