It's fairly easy, actually - I can't never get a chance to enjoy compliments!
Case in point, I'm talking with two folks in Second Life. One comes out and says she just read Closetspace and thought it was GREAT. Then another person pipes up and says "You draw Closetspace? I love that comic! You're the--"
Then my phone, which hasn't rung in six hours, suddenly rings telling me an iceberg has hit the Titanic. So I sign off and I spend the next hour re-riveting sheetmetal as the titanic sinks. When I get back? My two fans are gone, and the ship is totally sunk as well.
I don't get an ego because I don't ever get a chance to revel in any accolades.
MY HEAD WANTS SWELLING!!!! :D
