| Q: Who is Dr. McNinja?
A: Dr. McNinja is a doctor who is also a ninja. Q: That's a pretty kooky name, Dr. McNinja. How'd you come up with that? A: Well, way back in 2003, it was originally just my Something Awful forums name, and it was really close to being Dr. McNuggets. (I had a bit of a thing for them back then. I also like claiming to be a doctor.) But last second before registering, I realized I could kick up the awesome a pretty decent amount by changing the"Nuggets" to "Ninja." Q: How do you transition from internet name to internet comic? A: Well, over at Something Awful, there are these uh... drawing fights, I guess is the best way to put it. You draw up a characterization of your user name and then you draw him/her |

| fighting the other people's characters! It's fun! And for one of these fights, I drew the gentleman pictured above, and voila, the good doctor was truly born. And if you'll look, I wasn't lying about him being a doctor, and a ninja. See the sword? See the degree? Proof. Anyway, shortly after that fight, I made this comic about him for a class.
Q: What kind of doctor is he anyway? That's a PhD on his wall. The sign in front of his office says he's a physician. In the one comic he's doing dental work on a patient, and then says he's a podiatrist! A: Ninjas are mysterious in their ways. Way mysterious. Q: Who draws this comic? A: This guy. Chris Hastings. |

| Q: Alright, I guess that's all there is to ask about who makes the comic, since it's all clearly just you.
A: Not so fast! Someone else inks it! Q: Oh? Who does that? A: This guy. Kent Archer. He's Chris's roommate, just like in Chasing Amy. He's pretty badass. Single too. And can you believe that's his real name? I can't. |

Q: Oooh, did you say Kent's single? A: Chris is single too! Chris is single too! Q: Ninjas are kind of played out, aren't they?A: Doctors aren't. Q: Well, unless you count ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, Dr. Phil, Scrubs, Dr. Who, Patch Adams... A: The sad thing is I'm writing both the questions and the answers here. If you have any other questions, feel free to email. |
