Something for your annoying questions...
Q: Just what is The Fan?
A: The Fan is a weekly web-strip created by two guys who are (currently) stuck in that fiery (now chilly) hellhole known as Iraq, and they needed a hobby to keep from going completely insane. It is based loosely on either our daily interactions, or scenarios that just sprung from the twisted minds of the two main individuals. Believe it or not, but The Fan's sound stage is pretty close to the real thing. Please bear with us as our minds are experiencing technical difficulties.
Q: Why are all of the characters in military clothing?
A: Like we said, The Fan does in fact take place in Iraq, and since it is next to impossible for the average Shmoe to currently visit Iraq, the only people that can really be here are either Iraqis or military personnel. (Trust me – we're not Iraqi.) The Fan is in no way supposed to be a "Beetle Bailey for the 21st century". In fact, from what I've gathered in my years of experience, most military people will probably either not get the humor, or they may even be offended by it. Don't get me wrong; The Fan has received many compliments from people I know in the military, but these are also people who share the same sense of humor as the two of us. Any military jokes will be few and far between, and those will most likely poke fun at the military and the mindset it programs into its members.
Q: Are the characters real?
A: Is your momma real, Steve? No, not really. Kensou X and Dehn are real, but the rest of the characters are fictious creations. Any resemblence to actual persons, living or dead, is simply coincidence. Yeah, we know that you think you're in the strip. Everyone wants to be a part of the Fan, but few can handle the limelight. That's why we use stunt dummies.
Q: What is with the style of The Fan?
A: Look; that is the style from L.A., and that is where our manager lives, and our agent. Okay?
Q: Just who are these guys? What do they look like?
A: Well, since you asked politely... here we are. Kensou X on the left, Dehn on the right. Check out our pics page for more.
Q: When are you guys coming home?
A: Soon, we hope. We asked the Magic 8-Ball™, and it said "Soon, okay? Now quit asking!"
Q: When you get home, can we buy you guys a drink?
A: You bet. Kensou X doesn't drink beer, but that's the extent of our limitations.
