Shaenon K. Garrity was quite Narbonic
she couldn't stick to just one project.
Meaghan Quinn was a different type,
no John Troutman webcomic could she reject.

Meredith Gran was a superhero girl
and I was afraid of a girl like that.

Web Comic Secret Santa

Liz Walsh of Tao of Geek is organizing the Web comic Secret Santa project.

From the FAQ:
Web comic artists submit their comics to a list, and on a specific day, a random comic (*not* their own!) is sent to them. That artist must then produce a guest comic, or a piece of fan art, for that comic.

December 5th is the closing date for submissions when comics will be assigned and on December 22nd the guest comics may be revealed. A number of webcomics have already signed up.

Tao of Geek's Liz Walsh interviewed by Yolanda Janiga

Liz Walsh is 26 years old and a fairly recent graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, where she studied computer science and earned her geek spurs. She grew up and still lives in Ottawa and describes herself as a "creative, passionate, thoughtful, antisocial, ambitious, [and] short temper[ed] (*grin*)" type of person. Her webcomic, Tao of Geek, is about geekery of all stripes, from computers and video games to role-playing games to anime. Walsh is a fan of geeks and her webcomic shows it.

"Geeks can be funny. Geeks can be serious," says Walsh. "It's all in who they are. They're more than just fanatics of some games, or people who dream in C++. They've got minds. They've got family. They've got friends. They've got personality. They can be the person that has aspirations of being on the stage based on how well they roleplay Garok the Mighty. They can be the person whose impeccable logic (from long nights of programming) lets them win any debate they enter, even against tenured politicians. They can be the person who creates a media empire based on the fantasy world they created during those long lectures at school. They can be *anyone*."
