Did you draw that?

yes o.o

How...

pencil and paper o_o

What program do you use to draw your comics

I use Paint Shop Pro 7 to draw and help with shading and stuff :D but for really hard poses i draw by hand on paper.

Do you use a tablet?

I have one yes. But i don't like it :X i prefer the mouse or lead pencil.

Fan-art? Go or no?

Fan-art? o_O about my comic!? *faints* *is unworthy*

Can you draw for me a--

Nope.

But--

Nope.

Pwease....*bats eyelashes*

*PEPPER-SPRAYS YOU*

Are you ever going to put: 'How to draw the RS'? I've been trying to draw himm.. x_X

xD i've been getting several requests for this! lol! em x3 i guess i can make one of those. i'll get to work on it then

Are you ever going to make 'restock machine' backgrounds for us to put on our screen? o_0 Just wondering.

Wow i never really had the idea that people wanted something like that. O_o i'll get to it then.

He has NO PANTS! o_O

lmao! xD RS is a virtual being so he has no need for certain body addons that we hide with clothes. What you see is what he has. :3

Yeah, um...if Restock Machine gets 'kicked' everytime someone posts *kicks RS machine* would he ever have a moment of peace?

I guess not o_O but ya know, his bum's gotta be as hard as steel after so many kicks like that.

Is there another being like RS, or does he work alone? If there is another being like RS, are they related?

I'm not really sure o.O RS hasn't really revealed much of his past to me other than when he was created. But he doesn't work alone. He's got Shekk

How come RS had to invent ABing? If he was real i'd kill him!

He didn't invent it o_O it's users that Autobuy from him. Although maybe he does it himself sometime or another xD and what are you talking about? of course he's real! ;D but don't kill him o.o;

Does the restock machine stays forever? or just.. erm... someone else in the family tree of the restock machine becomes the other restock machine?

i don't really know...o.o he says he was created in 1957 yet...he looks like he's in his teens... just another one of his mysteries. o.o

Don't you think people might think that the Restock Machine Guy might be Sloth? Their both green and all.

O_O'.....

I'm told that RS was created in 1957, but Neopets started in 1999...what did he do in the years in between?

I guess he was working for other internet companies ;D

Does RS have a girlfriend...

*cough* *ahem*.... 6_6

I noticed RSM comes out of a box with a label 'Neopets Restock Machine'. So, RSM was coming out of RSM?

His name is RS not RSM ^_^ he's the person who runs the RS Machine I guess if you look at it that way they are the same in function, but not the same in being o_o'....

Does RS have ADD?

You guys are cruel. O_O

Since RS is virtual can he change his shape or -invalid_word-?

If he could, it'd be very frustrating to draw xD lol

Does RS any have music intrests??

mmm ^_^ not sure. i'm assuming it would be techno ;D

Does RS restock the hidden tower??

I wouldn't think so o.o since the items in there are unlimited until they are retired, RS really doesn't have to touch them. He just sticks them in ther and puts them on 'Repeat' xD

Is RS incharge of random events too? He seems to have a lot of paintbrushes in the NT comic, And you can't get any in neopian shops, Except the hidden tower.

RS has access to any item on Neopets. He can access those items throught the Restock Machine itself. The items that are 'restockable' are assigned to their shops and it's RS job to distribute those items. However, that doesn't mean he can't 'touch' non-restockable items ;D If this seems confusing don't worry xD It will be explained in future issues.

Is RS a boy or girl?

Rs is an 'it' xD

Hmmm... how could RSM have been working for other web companies sincethe 1950s when the internet wasn't open for public or corporate use'till around the ninties?

The internet technically started in the late 1950's with the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik in which the US -invalid_word-ed the ARPA that touched on new sciences and technologies that were to be used in the military =D

Why is there a barcode on RS's chest? And if you ran him through a store's price scanner, how much would he cost?

lmao xD that is an excellent question! ......i have no clue really. *lol* when i first designed him in Issue 1 i wanted him to have some kind of emblem on his person somewhere. maybe at the time i thought it would mean something in later issues? who knows? it still could! xD And he would cost 89 cents. (the same price as my favourite candy) hehe :D

Why does RS collect MSPPs if he's afraid of MSP poogles? o_o

Cause MSPP plushies are so cute :o people in real life collect teddy bears and i would assume that they'd be most definitely afraid of the real thing xD

What is RS's favorite type of pie? o.o

Ketucky Derby, hands down. o.O

Why is the RS Machine green? Why didn't you make him purple, or yellow? How about orange? Just wondering, 'cause it is sort of odd that everyone, or most everyone, chooses the 'unknown' 'beings' green.

maybe for that reason :o since everyone is use to 'them' being green, then it would have made it more comfortable for the viewer ^^

Earlier you said that RS is an 'it' but you call him a 'he' in some of your answers! Is RS an 'it' or a 'he'?

He's an it! but he has masculine qualities xD so it feels more natural to refer to him as a 'he'. It's the same as if you were to refer to a car or ship as a 'she' like: "Wow, she's a beauty!" ;P

How come RS only collects MSPP plushies but nothing else thats MSPP?

oh but he does :D if you look closely at the Issue in which he decends into his *coughsecretbasethat nooneknowsabout...cough* he has it split off into sections of shelves in which he stores diffrent MSP collectables. His focused obsession with the MSPP Plushie is because of it's rarity.

RS looks like an Aisha. Is he based on any particular breed or just some random, cool-looking thingymabob?

Nope he is not a neopet of any sort. He's just a hard working employee in the virtual department at NHQ

I just sorta had an epiphany here but, it seems like RS is Sloth, like...a teenage Sloth. Reasons why, 1. He's green 2.He's not a specific kind of neopet 3.He has a Grundo for an assistant 4.He's friends w/ the evil scientist 5.He has a S in his name

I can't say this enough: RS is not Dr. Sloth. He's not. i'm not trying to cover up any future plots or anything like that. RS wasn't, isn't, and never will be Dr. Sloth. (and that's final!)

You said that RS wears clothes in the Neopian Times because he's under cover.Then why does he have RS on his jacket.That would blow his whole cover.

O__O *smacks forehead*....

I wanted to know: In one of the issues it shows RS sticking an MSPP plushie capsul inside an apparent 'pocket' at his side and Nub get it on tabe just before the spy camera is smashed. If RS doesen't wear clothes, (which you have said he dosen't) then where did the pocket come from? ???0o??? Also, if it ISN'T a pocket, then where did the MSPP plushie go?

Who ever said that virtual beings like RS can't have pockets? :O But then again, RS would gladly give his pockets away in exchange for some toes (gives him better balancing capabilities =D ).

Who works more? Shekk or the Restock Machine?

Well RS of course :o I mean he takes care of the entire RSing Server for the some 80 shops that exist in Neopia. Then again.... Shekk seems to have the big responsibility to keep RS in line in terms of his job. As RS seems to get distracted fairly easily xD

Is Shekk a real grundo? Or is he, like the Restock Machine, just a virtual being?

He's a real grundo :D just like all of the other grundo employees in neopia

How does Shekk live with and interact with RS?

Well to you, what is a real grundo? o.o

So basically, Shekk is RS's lackey? I mean, does he even get payed? I mean, did RS save his life when they were kids and is calling in the favor or something?

hee hee xD i can't reveal too much of his past. i'll be using it for future issues but yes Shekk is RS's assistant

Is Shekk one of your pets??

Of course not! :O He's RS's hard working employee! Now if you're talking about the actual grundo named shekk, I had nothing to do with him being created. The owner is just a crazed fan ^_^'

(Here's one I get a lot) When's the next Issue comin out?!?!

When i'm done drawing it O_O It's not like i finish them and then hold them hostage for a few more months o_O

How long does it take for each episode to be drawn?

It varies. Depending on how much time I spend on it each day affects how long it takes to get it done. But I would estimate about 2-3 weeks for an issue.

OMG! TNT DELETED THE COMICS!?!?

lmao xD! It was all an april fools joke! don't worry nothing was deleted. If you want to read what really happen check out my explanation. Link is under the Extras section.

Why are all the items in clear cubes?

I try to make my comics as realistic as possible, in regards to neopets. And since items on neopets look like they're in little white square boxes, well i'm assuming that when drawn in 3d on a two dimensional comic, they'd be in a cube/box thingy o_o right? I mean its better than RS carrying around a bunch of tiny square pieces of papers with items drawn on them. o.o

Did you come up with the RS machine, or did you see it somewhere?.

no o_O... the RS Machine is a figurative idea made up by people on the Chat Boards o_o i just made the comics.

What or who inspired you to make the comic?

The RS Machine itself :D ...and maybe a few people on the BD Chat

Will the RS's MSPP Base ever be revealed to anyone besides...him???...o.o

I have no clue what you're talking about... *shifty eyes*

What does 'Lag' mean?

Lag is a term meaning 'delayed' or 'to hold back.' It's used often on the Neopet Chat Boards when refering to items that are restocking slow or pages that aren't loading fast.

Your comic, 'The Restock Machine' makes my pants quite happy. ;o

I'm happy for your happy pants xD

Why does Nub look like he could be your brother??

hehe xD cause i guess you can say he was spawned from a dormant side of my personality

Is it true that if you say 'Restock' three times in a mirror that he'll appear and give you an MSPP plushie?

i wish it were ._. ...

WOW! That adoptable is totally cute! It looks like it was made by a japanese person xD Did you copy it from somewhere?

xD eheh.... nope i drew each and every movement pixel by pixel in mspaint. Here's a screenie of of the layouting i used to draw/make it ^^ : rosiethorns.com/NP/ RSAdoptLayout.png and I'm of German decent =/

Do you think anyone will ever gueststar in the RS comics

Oh but some already have :O you just have to look closely and u'll see ;D

What DO you do with all of the stuff you get for presents from people?

I put them all in my SDB incase the person who sent it wants it back o.O I don't think I have the right to do anything with them since I don't really deserve them anyways o_O

What gave you the idea for the RS machine and the MSPP Plushie?

Well when I was creating my 5 image short 'The dismantling of the restock machine' at the time CardQuest had been turned into a yellow poogle from the lab ray ^^ so i used him in the 4th slide when nub tells him to attack the restock machine! From that i decided to use mspp since they're the most vicious poogle alive ( and well popular with many users) It's ironic tho... because RS is deathly afraid of MSP Poogles yet he's totally in love with the MSPP Plushie xD

What's inside the Hi -Mom! :D Restocks? ;o

who knows xD if anyone can logically explain what goes on in RS's mind when he origanizes the restocks, i'd give them a cookie

When do you find time to make ur comics?

if i spent time trying to find time to make my comics, the time to make my comics would run out -_- i plot/sketch/draw whenever i can spare it.

Who is the person thats angry at RS? because you never told us her name she kinda looks like you but if did i never saw it

his name is Nub :D sorry he was such a minor character when he was first featured that i never really properly introduced him. I'm planning on creating detailed decriptions for each character the next time Betanko's page is revamped, so it should clear anymore questions you may have about our misfortunate friend ;D

If nub gets unfrozen,what will he do to the RS machine?

Probably.... scrounge up every neopoint he has to buy poogle morphing potions in order to create a pitiless, poogle-packed platoon to propitiously persecute Nub's profoundly preoccupied perpetrator. :D

In issue ten, RS gets a uber cool ashum controler from Evil Scientist, and I saw on the package it says, "To RS from ES" I figured ES standed for Evil Scientist, so does that mean RS stands for something?

very good! ^^ I wondered if anyone would notice! yes his name does stand for something ( and it's not Restock Machine either xD ) However it's more like an abbreviation rather than an acronym. his name will be revealed in later issues ^_^

You said that the items are in little square boxes. But, RS's MSPP is in *real* form. And, the plushie itself inserted an MSPP in a box, made it *real* and stitched it's arm off. 1. Is the RS's MSPP "alive? 2. How come it's not in a box? 3. Why are all the OTHER MSPP's in a box? 4. Was the MSPP that was "created" by RS's MSPP killed by RS's MSPP?

hehe xD I somehow knew this would be questioned one day 1. Yes, RS's MSPP is in fact a cameo of CardQuest :D He's posing as an MSPP Plushie in the series (of course RS is unaware of all of this) 2. Think of it this way: When you have an item in your inventory, let's say a toy, and you click on it. You can choose to do with it a number of things (play, store, discard, etc) Well when one chooses to play with the toy, one could assume that you'd have to take it out of it's "box". So essentially RS is currently 'Playing' with his MSPP Plushie. 3.In regards to my previous answer, they have not been 'used' yet. 4. No, It was simply 'used'. Such as you would use an item for a quest or a cooking pot ingredient.

so if items are in boxes in your comics then what would a titanic giant squid look like considering the items only a giant squid eye on neopets

The boxes have the given capabilities of retaining all items inside the same size box. You'll notice that many items look to be bigger than other items (such as gardens or full size armor compared to yummy cookies or tiny petpetpets!) But they're all the same size in a box! Once the item has been used (through your inventory) it is released from the box and regains it's original mass. (as you see when you put items in a neohome) So in regards to the giant squid, it's possible that it's eye is the only thing you can see of it in that tiny little box (since after all you're only viewing one side of the box) The rest of him is probably crumpled up behind it xD no wonder it looks so aggrivated eh?

I WILL PAY NEOPOINTS FOR THAT RS EGG O_O

Nope! Tis' mine! And 300 years from now when they exume my grave they will find it in it's marvelous state with my mummified remains :D

Nooo! Does this mean RS will be wearing clothes from now on? I won't be able to see his lean, bodily goodness? D:

o_O!...*ahem*... no xD this undercover operation is a conspiracy to sneak into the Neopian Times since we're so unwanted. ;D

Are You Batman?

gwee o_O?

Wow, I think the Restock Being looks SO cool with those cool looking clothes on! Please tell me you're going to have them wear those clothes in some up coming comics!

x3 He's in clothes because he's undercover o_o so he's only gonna be in clothes in the NT until they accept my original comics.

Don't you think people might think that the Restock Machine Guy might be Sloth? Their both green and all.

O_O'.....

Why do you like dung? It's a bit weird.....

cause dung is cool o_o

How could the dung petpets in your gallery be playing if they are made of poo @_@ would it get all mushy?

oh but that's one of the many great things about dung! it comes in all sorts of durabilities: anywhere from raw to extra crispy ^^

Why do they call you "Rosie"? Why'd you pick that nickname?

Rosie comes from my old neopets username rosiethorns88 i've been using rosiethorns88 as my usernames for everything ever since i started using computers (it's over 10 years old! :o) I was based off my middle name Rose and my birth year 1988. ^^

random question but who restocks ur shop if ur not allowed in

I guess I would have to o_O but as you said I'm not allowed in there so I never bother to put anything in my shop..
