| If there is one thing that Paul doesn't have it's an attention span.
Paul can't concentrate on one things for more then five minutes at a
time. This means that there are a lot of unfinished ideas,
characters, half-written story lines and other things like that.
Paul also has a hard time staying 100% appropriate for school paper
publication. It seems that Paul's true brand of humor tends to be
a little racier, a little more controversial, and a little less
politically correct then most people would like. "I see it like this," says Paul, "I'm not out to offend anyone, or to
hurt anyone, that's not the purpose of comedy. I do feel that, as
a society, we've grown far to over sensitive. I just love it when
I crack a joke and people laugh and the whole time they're laughing
they're wondering if they should really be laughing, or getting mad at
me for making an un-pc joke. I love the indecision. I love people
who don't like themselves because they laugh. They are the perfect
indicator of the problem in this country. We're oversensitive to
the point that issues aren't even discussed. Some of the things
I'm making jokes about, that make people uncomfortable are issues we're
taught shouldn't be discussed. When I make jokes about them people
get uncomfortable. I'm using humor to ease people up and start to
initiate discussion.
And it does seem that some of his side projects are at least a little
controversial. However controversy is not the only thing that Paul
tries to create in his side projects. Paul always has ideas for
new sets of characters and developing situations and worlds for them to
interact. Kinky Kat has his own spin-off series that came long
before he was ever introduced in the Spectrum. All of his long
story ideas get developed as side projects since the Spectrum simply
isn't a good forum for these cartoon.

Check out The Crazy Christian Saga
This was a little series that was based on the actual adventures of Paul
freshmen year as some fundamentalist Christian group tried desperately
to convert Paul. Paul, having grown up going to a far more liberal
church was not quite ready for what went on. This is the first
series to feature Kinky Kat as the star, acting on behalf of Paul and
saying a lot of the things Paul had wanted to say in the actual
situations.

The Chronicles of Kinky Kat
While some of these cartoons have run in the Spectrum, a majority of
them have not simply because they are far too um, inappropriate for the
Spectrum. Included in here are a lot of the cartoons that Kinky
Kat has been involved with including some beginning sketches of ideas.
Largely though, Kinky Kat has been left behind as a character as he
doesn't fit well into the Better Than Stick Figures mix. Paul
is looking to develop his own strip.
Jesus the Teenage Years
Paul is determined to make this one a Saturday morning cartoon.
The idea of a teenage Jesus really intrigues him. There is no
mention of Jesus as a teenager in the bible, except for one obscure
story of him going to the temple. If Jesus really became mortal
then how did the Savior himself deal with things like girls, zits, and
parents. Let's face it, could there be anything funnier than a
Jesus with raging hormones? With new takes on Mary and Joseph that
are a little more believable then the saintly pictures we have of them.
This cartoon breathes some life into the hardened and stiff pictures
that religion sometimes paints for us, intelligently written it is good
for both people who know nothing of religion and bible and those who
know it by heart.
