About Mostly True Comics
What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite color?
My name is Harold Smith, better known as Top Hat Man. My quest, comic-wise, is to attain fame, glory, and maybe even be able to afford healthcare. My favorite color is purple. Additionally, the capital of Assyria is Ninevah-- you never know when that's going to come up.
Do you take donations?
With glee. Please donate! I have three donation-related dreams:
0. I hope to be able to keep this site up and running, without going into debt by doing so.
1. I hope someday to be able to take the ads off the site-- they interfere with my Feng-shui.
2. I dream of someday being able to afford medications that are currently covered by patents (and thus far out of my price range), to be able to pay for consultations with doctors that prescribe those medications, to relocate to a nation with universal healthcare, or, if all else fails, to organize a bloodless coup that will provide healthcare to all residents of the United States. Please help me realize my goal being able to afford healthcare by donating to the site.

What is your artistic philosophy?
I hate art. Which is to say, I hate making art. Which is to say, I hate making poorly-drawn art, which is the only kind of art I seem capable of creating. Let's face it-- there are many many examples of Cave Paintings that exhibit far more technical skill than any of my comics.
There are many webcomics that have minimialist styles. Some people think this implies the artists lack artistic talent, but oh no-- minimalist comics actually are able to convey huge amounts of subtle detail with only a few lines. "Simply Drawn" isn't not the same as "Amateurly Drawn"-- and I clearly fall into the later camp. That said, I'm willing to press on and try to make the world smile in spite of my utter lack of talent.
Who do you wish to thank?
Unending thanks goes out to the people who have made my life even remotely worthy of being a comic. A short list of these people include:
Beret Girl(♉), Hippie Chick(☮), Quaver Girl(♫), Ogre Fan, Skeety , The One, Jesus David, and CoolGlassesGirl(☠) .
Special thanks to go my heroes within the comics world: Randall Munroe of xkcd, A.V. Phibes of Evil Kid, and Dean Chicrinks--- all of whom kindly encouraged me to create comics despite my complete lack of artistic talent.
What are your favorite webcomics?
Glad you asked! Some of my favorite webcomic series are XKCD, Evil Kid Productions, Indexed, Perry Bible Fellowship.
