King Features has posted a Question and Answer with Bill Bettwy, the creator of the new launched strip Take It From the Tinkersons.
Q: Is there a character that most resembles you and your personality?
Bill: Hands down, Ted. I didn?t intend for Ted to resemble me, but I have been getting that a lot from my friends. (But looking at Ted?s receding hairline, maybe they aren?t actually my friends!)
Q: Is Tillman named after the late Pat Tillman, the former NFL player turned heroic Army Ranger?
Bill: He is! I have such great respect for Pat Tillman. What he did and what he walked away from was an incredible display of character. I consider it an honor to use the name in the strip.
