What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I'm just someone writing and drawing comics.

I'm @cartoonistjohnb on Twitter, @johnborencomics on Instagram, and on Facebook, I'm the John Boren who lives in North Carolina.

I signed up in 2011, but I've lurked on here since 1999.

My nickname? Well, it comes from one of favorite movies. That, and I guess I like it when everyone yells 'eponysterical!' whenever I post in a Star Trek thread...
