2) Seen any good movies lately?
5) What's your favorite book?



22) Favorite artist(s)?
I'm happy to present a Q & A with my Awesome Marcus Ninja co-creator & good friend Joel Buxton.
Joel is a great writer, awesome stand up comic, & well, I've never seen him play bass, so I'll say, an ok bassist.
Check Joel's super helpful/entertaining stand up comedy blog. Trust me, it's better than the blog you are currently reading
Here we go,
1) Who are you & what do you do?
My name's Joel Buxton.
I'm a stand-up comic based in Toronto. I do a lot of writing, including a webcomic called Awesome Marcus Ninja, and a blog called Premise PUNCH Tag. I play bass in a rock band called Apple Pi.
I also have a day job, but who cares about that?
2) Seen any good movies lately?
I only watch good movies because I have the attention span of a gnat. Recently I enjoyed checking out True Grit (with you), Insomnia (late, I know, but it was the one Christopher Nolan film missing from my repertoire), and the Scott Pilgrim movie which I thought didn't get the props it should've.
3) What are you listening to?
For pump ups on the way to sets, I like Marc Ronson, Daft Punk, NIN, and stand-up comedy albums from comics I admire. For relaxing, I love Zero 7, Jose Gonzales, Metric, Soul Coughing, and my fundamentals, The Beatles and Radiohead.
4) What do you do to relax?
Sleep, read, chat with pals, or murder people in video games.
5) What's your favourite book?
Tough call, books are awesome. Tie between Atlas Shrugged (no I'm not an Objectivist), Breakfast of Champions, and Moby Dick (I'm not bullshitting you, I actually have read it and love it).
6) You order a pizza all to yourself, what toppings do you get?
If there's no topping limit, everything that doesn't have eyes. If there's some kind of arbitrary cap, I'd say broccoli (the King of vegetables), feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, and artichokes.

Off earth? Oa, son.
13) Any TV shows you're watching right now ?
Always Sunny, 30 Rock, The Office, Deadwood, and I'm about to get heavy into The Pacific.




Thanks Buxton. Keep on keepin' on.
1) Who are you & what do you do?
My name is Lezley Davidson. I'm a cartoonist and publish "Peeling Onions", a daily auto-bio web comic. I also have a day job, which we won't discuss.
2) Seen any good movies lately? 
6) You order a pizza all to yourself, what toppings do you get?

Lychee.
8) Favourite junk food?
Chips. Any chips, I love the fried potato in all it's forms and flavours. All hail potato joy.
9) What's the best concert you've ever been to?
Eminem's Up in Smoke Tour. Go ahead and judge me. It was awesome.

10) Biggie or Tupac?
Biggie. Tupac's hawt and smart and stuff, but seriously, Biggie had way better hooks and beats. You know it's true.
11) Who's your childhood crush?
Embarassingly, I had a crush on Ricky Schroder from Silver Spoons. I'm so happy this is being published.
12) If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?
To another galaxy that had life. That would be so interesting. Or China. I've always wanted to go to China. And not the cities either, but the middle of China in the country and see the fish head mountains and Yang Tze. You know... stuff.
13) Any TV shows you're watching right now ?
I am watching True Blood online and House. And remain in scowling mode over Heroes. What a waste.
14) What's your guilty pleasure?
15) Favourite super hero(es)?
PLEASE. Wonder Woman. Of COURSE.

16) What pisses you off?
People who judge. It's the worst characteristic in the world. Oh, looking at me being all judgey. Meh.

20) Craziest place you've ever done the 'no pants dance' ?
Every bathroom at Art Camp during high school. (Camp Walden through the TDSB).

21) Beverly Hills 90210 or Saved by the Bell?
The ORIGINAL Beverly Hills 90210. We used to gather in the common room at university and watch 90210 and then Melrose Place. What a bunch of geeks. The boys liked it too though. Or they were there because the girls were there. It's hard to tell.

23) If you were on death row what would your last meal be?
Crab, Lobster, Shrimp, Mussels... mmmm seafood.

Take good care,

3) What are you listening to?
4) What do you do to relax?
6) You order a pizza all to yourself, what toppings do you get?
10) Biggie or Tupac?
Biggie for the flow, 'Pac for the lyrics. Both brilliant at painting words with pictures, with these hip hop scriptures.
11) Who's your childhood crush?
Jessica Alba and Alyssa Milano. Can't go wrong with either of them today. It's funny, a couple days ago, I saw the Fresh Prince episode, where Carlton and Will talked about their childhood crushes being Barbara Walters, then for some reason that reminded me of how my first crush on a celebrity was Paula Abdul. I think now, crushing on her might be the equivelant of Amy Winehouse.
12) If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?
Everywhere, to do everything. Seriously, I would time travel to critical points in history to make sure I had a hand in shaping everything, except volcanoes, cause thats just fucking dangerous.
13) Any TV shows you're watching right now ?
Nothing with any form of regularity but I like pretty much anything on Adult Swim. I heart Anime as well.
14) What's your guilty pleasure?
It's extremely rare when I can do this due to my surprisingly strong will power, but heading down to Popeyes, getting the 5 pc chicken strip combo with some friends, head home and play online games with those greasy friends until we can't speak anymore from grease congestion.
15) Favourite super hero(es)?
Spawn, Spidey, Batman, Darkness
16) What pisses you off?
I really hate hypocrites, or people trying hard to be what they're not. It was ok for 9th grade, but I love the art of conversation with friends, new people, people living on the street, everyone has a story that no one else experienced. This gets skewed when people become too afraid to express themselves to share with people, even in conversation, cause some would rather lie to blend in than be truthful and stand out as an individual.
17) Rank these hairstyles from best to worst, fauxhawk, comb over, mushroom cut, mullet.
fauxhawk, mushroom cut, comb over, mullet. Tough, tough question, made even tougher since I had a mushroom cut for years haha.
18) Favourite Saturday Night Live cast member (past or present) & why?
Farley, Belushi, and I still have love for Norm Mcdonald. Check out the Bob Saget roast, if you share that love.
19) Saturday morning cartoon you had to watch?
TMNT at like 7am. Dude, Saturday mornings used to have everything you ever wanted to watch , packed into like 5 or 6 hours of pajama wearing, cereal crunching goodness. Transformers, GI joe, Xmen, gargoyles, C.O.P.S, Thundercats...I could go on and on. Then you'd still get to enjoy the day outside, cause thats what kids did before computers ran their lives.
20) Craziest place you've ever done the 'no pants dance' ?
Parks, fields, outside establishments, strangers backyards. That last one sounded extra dirty.
21) Beverly Hills 90210 or Saved by the Bell?
Saved by the Bell if I had to choose, but I was never a big fan of either(!)
22) Favourite artist(s)?
Yoshitaka Amano, Yoji Shinkawa, Finch, Mcfarlane, Turner (r.i.p.), Cassaday, Hitch, Lee, Portacio and any artists who still give free sketches. Much Love.
23) If you were on death row what would your last meal be?
Something, with Popeyes and Cheetos (both capitalized). I used to pose this question to my friends, and it would always include steak and lobster. I would try to sqeeze a little bit of everything on the plate or whatever they serve it on.
24) 20 years from now, you will be _____________?
Going through a midlife crisis. Seriously, I make a conscious effort to learn from mistakes and appreciate the life I was given by unknown forces, or known biology. Hopefully, I'll get to keep my morals and my hair won't try to escape from my scalp.

The Goon, Mr. Hyde (from league of extraordinary gentlemen) and my mom (she made me put this in).

Maple Nut Oatmeal Crisp cereal.
24) 20 years from now, you will be _____________?
On a roller coaster ride of drugs and fancy restaurants (it's the dream baby, one step at a time)
25) How awesome are you? Feel free to use a scale of 1 - 10.
