Dave Fuller (the main character of Divergence and Vicious Lies) wants to get into webcomics. And he wants your help.

If you draw a webcomic, we'd love to see Dave make an appearance in it. You can use him as you would use any other character in your comic; he can play himself, or he can play a role (e.g., the checkout clerk at the grocery store, the interstate cop, the psychotic gerbil-eating hippo-man). All I ask is that if you use Dave in your webcomic, you (a) let me know so that I can make sure you're added to my resume/links pages; (b) refrain from anything obscene or seriously offensive involving Dave -- violence is okay, but no nudity, sex, or profanity; if you ask to use Dave and then use him in this manner, the comic will simply be disavowed; (c) please let him keep the goatee and some form of visual aid (glasses, VISOR, sunglasses, etc) so that he's recognizably Dave. Don't just draw some 400-pound bald woman and say "Okay, this is Dave in extreme makeup" unless the plot has SOMEHOW explained this ahead of time.

You don't even necessarily have to call him Dave. Consider your comic to be a television show, and Dave is the actor. You can pretty much have him do anything that doesn't violate his personal ethics and/or contract. I do ask that if you call him something else, please include a phrase like "featuring Dave Fuller as Corporal Slushbucket Greasybeard" in the margin of the comic or something like that.

Officially speaking, I retain all rights to Dave Fuller. He's ME, for Pete's sake. But if you drop me a line I'll be thrilled to let you use Dave in your webcomic, provided I don't think you're the scum of the earth or something. I won't ever seek any kind of compensation or damages if you sell the Dave-included comics as part of a book or as original art on eBay or anything like that. It's your comic. I might be a bit more aggressive in demanding that you "make things right" if you violate the above terms (nudity, etc). I'll also be willing to do guest comics as my schedule permits if you'd rather have ME draw Dave for you. Bear in mind, you'd have to be a pretty rotten artist to prefer my rendition of Dave (and your characters, of course) to yours, but I'm willing to give it a go, because I'm just that kind of guy.
