Rediscovered your works and still a wonderfully imaginative set of tales you have woven.

Hey man, hope we'll see you coming back one day. Your work inspired lots of people, me included. The world needs more comics like yours.
Happy birthday, wherever you are!

In case Ryan ever sees this: I wanted to say he's a great artist. I think 'minus' was wonderful and I think 'Dig' in particular is a genuine all time great short comic.

I went to your website to relive some fond memories... read Great. Read minus. I found out what happened to your site, and it appears to have happened a while into the past...
People seemed pretty freaked out on Reddit, wondering what might have happened... it might have been something massive, or might have been something mundane. Hell, it could have even been that you lost interest in doing art, or, conversely, that you have moved on to bigger and better things.
Whatever the case may be, I hope you're happy. You've made an impact, man. I hope you're enjoying whatever it is that you do now.
Enjoy yourself, man. And be Great.

There is a mirror site and a Reddit thread where they found his house was foreclosed,
That's the best explanation to why he disappeared thus far!

I loved Minus, finding you on DA was a great discovery!

Hello kid, I'm not sure what you're up to lately, but I have a lead on a Job Opportunity doing illustrations and storyboards for Script Treatments and Film Scripts, and I thought of you. It's for Hollywood, but you should still be able to do things online so it could possibly still work. Does this sound like something you'd be up for? Let me know.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing stories and comics that you've created. I read Great in just a few hours because I got lost in the emotions and the lives of the characters. I just keep clicking -next- without hesitation every time. The same goes for Minus. and Shell, too.
Again, thank you, and I am reading Socks as I write this, and staying on top of Modern Fried Snake. Your site is a tab that is always open on my browser without fail.

And now I am sad about Socks being stopped~

It wouldn't have been good if I continued it, but I'm making an effort to not make a similar mistake in the future. Anyways, glad you've been enjoying the comics-

The ending of Great was sudden and yet seemed fitting. I enjoyed it, well, greatly.
I adore your comic style as well, the expressions always make me smile. (:

Sorry to hear that you've abandoned "Socks", as I thought it was such a fascinating title. I enjoy all your titles, and I feel it would be a shame to never finish that one. Try to reach into that part of you that inspired that storyline, and hopefully you'll be able to bring it to light. I know from personal experience, what a tragedy it is to let a good story go unsaid. You might want to watch the film Re-cycle for inspiration.

Great was a nice comic, inspired me a lot.
But I kind of don't get the ending. It just stops, like hitting a brick wall at 100 MPH.

can't believe great is over
i started reading that with an irritated "what is this" attitude when it was the update in lieu of socks
then it quickly became one of my favorite things
man.
sad that socks will apparently never finish, but i can understand why. i hope you eventually get back to it!
modern fried snake hasn't hooked me yet but i'm sure it will.
i've never not liked one of the things you've done.
ps mark webber (the actor) totally looks like lyle phipps i think
[link] (compare with the cover of great volume 1)
just an observation

Mark Webber won't really look like Lyle Phipps until he's sporting a middle aged comb over.
Anyways, glad you enjoyed the comic even though it came out of nowhere after I screwed up socks. Modern Fried Snake is like the opposite of Great as far as pacing goes, so I don't know how many people who like one will like the other, but hopefully the answer is "several".

I'm one of them! Yours are my favorite webcomics, like, in existence. I only wish there were more because I've already read all of them.

I used to have a small stash of comics I could show people whenever they said something like that. I'm out of them now, but the next time I finish one I will let you see it a little early

You are a wonderful human being.

Hey! Longtime fan of your work, although I hadn't kept up with your stuff since the end of Minus.
Just finished reading all of Great, Shell, and Modern Fried Snake, although I noticed that a link to Socks was conspicuously missing from your front page.
Any particular reason for that?

Hi, the comic is still online:
www.kiwisbybeat.com/socks.html
I just wasn't able to continue working on it(there's a message on its page explaining why) and didn't want to send new visitors over to a comic that will never be finished, so I took the link down.

Ah, I see. Well, that's too bad but Great! is well... Great!

Hey bro just caught up on Great! and wanted to tell you how awesome it is. Keep that shit uuuuuuup.

Your comic work is highly entertaining, and your artwork is very playful. It makes my day a little better.
I'm very surprised you're not more noticed!

I stumbled upon your comic 'Great' a long time ago, but kept it on bookmark to read for a later date. Finally I started reading it again, and plowed through it the other night. I keep telling all my friends to go read it. (:
I really enjoyed Minus and especially Shell(i think that's what it's called...) too!

I found Minus a long time ago but I've fallen really head-over-heels in love with 'Great'. I've gotten my friends to love it too. Mrs. Phipps being my favorite. I wish there was a forum where I could tell you how I'm always in agony for Lyle and I stay up at night worrying about how his life will turn out. haha, I guess that's silly... but your simple and profound stories really effect me and I want to thank you for your work. Please keep posting these wonderful stories. <3

PS: Also a shame that it is nigh impossible to search for minus or great or shell anywhere...

I adore your work and find it really regrettable minus didn't come with a comment system.
