English project on OOTS?

[Darius1020]

So I need to write a paper about an author/artist/musician who's work isn't taken seriously, and why I think it should be taken more seriously, and I thought that I could write about Rich, since many people think that the stick figure art is "unprofessional". So does anyone know any place where I could get info on him or anything else that may help me?

Well, there's this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Burlew). And more generally, this (http://www.google.com/search?q=rich+burlew).

Apart from that, I guess the best site is right here. The Giant has a long posting history (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/search.php?searchid=878633) - there's a lot of information there that he's chosen to make public, so try rummaging through it.

His in-book commentary is always a good place to start. I had no idea how much thought went into some of this stuff until I read those.

Go to Rich's profile (Giant) and check out some of his past posts. Read all the FAQ stuff. The criticisms of his drawing style are also parodied in the comic. Dig a little - that's part of research. You can do it! I highly doubt you'll have to contact Rich directly to get the info.
