Despite my best efforts, my daughter is too sensible for the events in this strip to have ever actually taken place. I have got her playing Neverwinter Nights though, so I live in hope.

Does depicting your own daughter in a comic count as child exploitation?
I’m not sure if it counts as exploitation. While she was willing, I didn’t get anything in writing from her. I could get permission from her legal guardian but that might be a conflict of interests. My other daughter, Raven, wants to appear in a strip she’ll be featured in next week’s.
For those who have been following such matters, my family and I will be the only "real" characters appearing in future comics. Mikey, Ryan and the assorted cast of Krome studios will be replaced with a fictional cast working at a fictional Games Developer on fictional games. This way I spare the reputation of my co-workers while avoiding any conflict of a legal nature. I figure that my kids won’t sue me because I’m where the pocket money comes from.
I’m pretty sure that my wife would have mentioned something if I was an inhuman monster. Maybe she’s been dropping subtle hints and I haven’t been picking them up.
Your are way wrong Stark. Actually your kids have been saving the pocket money your have been giving them and now they have enough to afford the outrageously high fees charged by me legal firm Greedy and Grasping Lawyers. We are today arranging for our process server Mr "Storm-Dot-God-of-the-Dot-Net" to serve you with the papers to commence legal action against you. This will happen as soon as Mr "Storm-Dot-God-of-the-Dot-Net" recovers from an unfortunate accident he recently suffered.
Those aren’t tears of pride – I’ve seen your game play and they are tears of jealousy
Neverwinter Nights will only teach your kids skills they need to kill chickens.
That stip just isn’t true…
Summoned shadows are never strong enough
That’s so damn cute…nice strip
You inhuman Monster!
