I came across this, posted on 9gag, and I wonder if this is made by our JESS FINK, cause that would be great.

Jess is pretty well known in the webcomics world for her erotic steampunk-robot comic Chester 5000 (http://jessfink.com/Chester5000XYV/).

Funny. I sometimes read that. I know about that comic because a friend's friend's uncle mentioned it once to someone who knows me. And I had no idea Jess had a connection to AGS.

Well, she never posted much and hasn't been active for many years, so it's no wonder. She did attend a few Mittens though.

I often think about AGS people who went on to make it "big" outside of AGS, Jess is definitely one of them, she's great.

Jess has a really fantastic semi-autobiographical book out from Top Shelf called We Can Fix It (http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/we-can-fix-it/720). Between that book and Chester, I think her career is really taking off (and deservedly so).

Until my recent move, I coincidentally lived in the same town as Jess and Eric. I didn't know they were known in AGS circles until a few months lurking here. They're good people! We had semi-regular meetings with TJ Kirsch, Emily Armstrong, and Ira Marcks, among others, to talk about making and reading comics.

Yes, that's probably it. But always nice to see the internet being a family tree. And Chester's easy to recommend too. (nod)

9gag is the worst place on the internet where everything bad that drips off other content sites lands on 9gag. Use reddit, imgur, or 4chan.

9gag is the worst place on the internet

And it must not be confused with 2gag (Two Guys and Guy), which is a neat little webcomic. A quick typo, I learned, can quickly lead you anywhere in the internets!
