Lots of people ask where the gapingvoid.com name comes from. Here you go, the cartoon was originally published in the Austin Chronicle, while I was attending University of Texas. The fellow peering into the viewer is Gloop, I still draw him today, when I need a kinda lumbering, human, compassionate, slightly pessimistic character.
gapeintothevoid.com was too long, so I shortened it. The rest, as they say, is history.
The original hangs in the downstairs bathroom in my mother’s house. She was an early fan. Thanks, Mom!

Came across a quote today that seemed apropos in more way than one — “Anything that has form can be overcome; anything that takes shape can be countered. This is why sages conceal their form in nothingness and let their minds soar in the void.” — Huaninanzi (2nd century BC)
Very cool… Thanks, Bruce?
