Q: 'FAQ' stands for 'Frequently Asked Questions'. Isn't it true that no one has ever, in fact, asked you any of these questions?
Do you wanna have a FAQ, or not?
Q: Okay, okay. How often does Planet Saturday Comics update?
We post a new page every Monday, come heck or high water.
Q: 'Heck'?
We're trying to keep it G-rated around here.
Q: You used to post a complete story, once a month. Why the change?
We want to do some longer stories, but we're limited by the amount of art that we can get done in a month. A weekly update schedule will allow us to tackle longer stories, AND post new material more frequently. (At least, that's what we hope- if it doesn't work out, we'll try something else.)
Q: What are the stories about?
The stories follow the adventures- real and imaginary- of an introverted kid who grows up to be a happy, if somewhat hapless, dad.
Q: Does this kid have a NAME? Most comics have characters with names, you know.
Of course he has a name! You just don't know what it is, because it never appears in the comic. However, now it can be told: there's a cast page which introduces the main characters... by name.
Q: So the main character appears as an adult AND a kid, and is called M and Emory?
That's right.
Q: Hmm... M and Emory.... M and Emory... Anything in particular you're trying to suggest with that?
Sorry, you're gonna have to get the rest of the way there on your own.
Q: Listening to Mozart makes babies smarter. Does reading your comic offer any beneficial effects?
Well, you know how time seems to speed up as you get older? We believe that our comic reverses that effect. The barely-remembered details of childhood are recalled to the reader's mind so vividly and unexpectedly that time actually slows back down.
Q: I don't think it's working on me.
You're not doing it right. You gotta line up your chakras or something.
Q: But since the comic features the barely-remembered details of YOUR childhood, wouldn't it only work on you?
Reading our comic also burns as many calories as thirty minutes of cardio.
Q: Oh, it does not. So I see there are ads on the site now.
Yep. In coming months we'll also be adding a store to the site, and some books to the store, and eventually...
Planet Saturday bobble-head dashboard dolls!!
Okay, probably ix-nay on the olls-day. But we've got a lot of wonderful ideas waiting to be made into something real, and we hope we can count on your continued readership and support.
Q: I clicked on one of your ads, and it took me to a site where I saw a cuss word, or a drawing of a zombie with a dangly eyeball or something. For that matter, some of your comics depict violent acts involving animal crackers! Won't somebody please think of the children?
We try to make sure that everything on our site is safe for kids. If you're interested, you can check out our listing on Family Webcomics, a site where creators can rate their own content and warn potential readers that, for instance, on page twelve they will see a butt.
As for the ads, we do screen them carefully- but the contents of the linked sites can change after we've looked at them. We're sorry if you clicked through and saw Harry Potter spoilers or The Dog-Faced Boy or anything else that you would now like to unsee.
Q: Can I use some of the content from your site?
Our lawyers live in a cave whose mouth is strewn with the gnawed bones of people who used some of the content from our site. Seriously, please share our URL with anybody you think would enjoy the site, and beyond that, ask first.
Q: Who are you guys, anyway? And do you have real jobs?
We're Monty and Kelli Stevens Kane, the husband-and-wife co-founders of Planet Saturday, LLC. Monty does art and animation for videogames and electronic toys, and Kelli manages the business. We have a secret hideout in an extinct volcano, and at night we assume our secret identities and go there to work on the comic- which is written and drawn by Monty, and edited by Kelli. We also collaborate on children's book manuscripts, music, and other top-secret mad scientist inventions, which will be revealed here on the site when the time is right.
You can find out more about Monty by consulting this interview.
