Friday Q&A

Questionable Inspiration

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. Thanks for joining me once again. In this regular feature, I answer questions relevant to the Fark Photoshop community. And if you disagree with me, I take time to insult your mother. It's all in a day's work.

Q: Where do you get your ideas?

A: I'm always getting asked this question, especially by court-appointed psychiatrists. Photoshopper's Block is a terrible affliction that all PSers will struggle with at some point. Everyone handles it in their own way, but inspiration is never something you can force. My advice is to stimulate your mind, and not in the old-fashioned way of freebasing cocaine. Laughter is the best medicine, followed closely by intense anger. Whilst my hackneyed shenanigans are hardly good for a chuckle, I'll be glad help out by insinuating that your mother was a prostitute.

Q: Why do people leave Fark?

A: The answer to this question has always been a contentious issue in our community. As pretty much anyone will tell you, Photoshoppers tend to come and go. We have our share of veterans, but some of the greatest names on the Honor Roll will never push another pixel for Fark. A few of these bygone PSers graduated to more serious venues. Others are currently engaging in such quaint pursuits as marriage and procreation. To each his own.

Q: Why do some people come back?

A:
Everyone has their reasons. Perhaps they found their new venue to be a bit too serious, or they need a release from the horrors of marriage and/or procreation. Once again, to each his own. It should be noted that many Photoshoppers come and go as they please. Not everyone feels the need to announce their retirement, or create a shit storm of sour grapes.


That's all for this time, gentle reader. As usual, thanks for stopping by. It's a pleasure to share my opinions with you. We might not always agree, but that's only because you're stupid and wrong about everything.

Stay tuned for more caustic aspersions from the Doctor!
