These aren't important questions, but I've been curious about them for some time now.

What is Three Reasons? I was assuming it was a webcomic, but I haven't been able to find any references to it outside of stripcreator, and there's no link for it here. Is it a defunked comic? Do those images only exist for SC use now?

There's a link to Fat Jesus here, but I don't see any Fat Jesus images on SC. Is that something that used to be here and got taken down like the Life in Hell characters?

The link for When I Grow Up doesn't go to When I Grow Up. It does go to a webcomic called Wigu, but "Wigu" is the main character's name, and doesn't seem to be an acronym for anything. None of the characters from Wigu are the ones in the When I Grow Up section here, and the style of artwork is completely different. Did the original When I Grow Up disappear and have it's domain name bought by a different webcomic, or has it's style just changed so much over the years that I don't recognize it?

These are the questions that keep me awake at night.

Three Reasons was a webcomic made by Brad (under a pseudonym) using clip art. After Stripcreator became popular, Brad stopped writing it because, as he says, suddenly everybody was writing stupid three-panel comics with clip art and it didn't seem so original anymore. The site is gone now, but you can see parts of it at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.three-reasons.com/ .

The Fat Jesus guy drew some of the early backgrounds. They are still in use on the site. We never had any Fat Jesus characters.

Jeff Rowland is a man of many webcomics. His first, started in the late '90s, was When I Grow Up, whence our donated art comes. Circa 2002 he ended it and spun off a new strip, WIGU. At the close of 2004 he ended WIGU, spent a couple of weeks on a strip called TV Network Channel, then started a WIGU spin-off entitled Magical Adventures in Space. At some point towards the end of WIGU's run he also started a "journal" comic, Overcompensating, which is not nearly as true as it claims to be. Certainly his drawing style has changed some over that time, though I think it's still recognizable.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!
