    If he’s invisible, why isn’t her arm showing through him?

    I like the way you think, marguerite! Good observation.
    The figure outlined with dashes isn’t actually invisible (like, say, a science fiction character). This guy is supposed to represent someone who “feels” invisible or marginalized in some way. I think most people have experienced at some time in their life the feeling that they don’t belong… or they’ve been treated as though they don’t belong.

    Thank you for the explanation. I think we’ve all felt marginalized at one time or another.

    I’m making a list of creators on gocomics (in no particular order) that take the time to answer reader questions or make comments on their own comics. Here’s my list so far. Did I miss anybody?

    Pibgorn (Brooke McEldowney)
    Bob the Squirrel (Frank Page)
    Frog Applause (Teresa Dowlatshahi)
    Cleats (Bill Hinds)
    Eek (Scott Nickel)
    Non Sequitur (Wiley Miller)

    I read ‘Cleats’ daily, and I’ve never noticed a comment from Bill Hinds.

    marguerite: Are you feeling “marginalized” by Bill Hinds?! I MUST INTERVENE. Bill Hinds is one of the nicest people EVER. His avatar is “buzztank” (“Buzz” Beamer, a character from Sports Illustrated for Kids and “Tank” McNamara, the strip that he has drawn for 30+ years). Try addressing Bill by name (or by his avatar) and ask him a question. I promise that he will answer you!

    UPDATE: BILL HINDS HAS SINCE CHANGED HIS AVATAR FROM “buzztank” TO “Bill Hinds”. NO MORE CONFUSION!
