    Default So I was curious about what Rich Burlew looks like.

    Some pics can be found here.

    Gotta say he is a pretty good looking guy. I don't know how recent these pics are? Any ideas as to when they were taken? Mr Burlew seems pretty elusive at least to my Google-fu. Only a handful of pics were easily obtained.

    What? That can't be Rich Burlew. What, just because he looks like the avatar Rich uses you think that's him? There are only so many ways to draw a stick figure, so of course they look alike.

    No, but seriously, good find. No onto what Rich Burlew sounds like.

    Well, I'll be -- he looks just like the stick figure versions of himself he's been drawing for years.

    So the song runs on, with shift and change,
    Through the years that have no name,
    And the late notes soar to a higher range,
    But the theme is still the same.
    Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
    Blend in with the old, old rhyme
    That was traced in the score of the strata marks
    While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
    Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

    Like I said, that's just a coincidence. There are only so many ways to draw a stick figure. That's just some other guy.

    Here is another one. There also used to be a picture of him at a convention hugging a women who looks and dresses a bit like the little seen stick figure depiction of his wife, but that's gone now.

    There's no pictures of him after 2006, so he might have changed massively in 5 years (phantom of the opera style mask). And if he has kids there are certainly no pictures of them.

    The giant likes his privacy; i wouldn't be surprised if there wasnt any photos of him from any time recent on the Internet. He might look the same, might look different, but aside from accidentally walking into him on the street somehow, there really is no way to know unless he gives/announces a public appearance.

    What, like half his face was disfigured by acid or something and now he makes all his decisions with a coin toss and causes crime while fighting a guy dressed as a bat?

    There are in fact, many more pictures of Mr Burlew on the internet. The problem is that he took off all his clothes for them.

    More like maybe he got burned by acid so now he wears a mask. Or maybe he just finds masks to be terribly comfortable and thinks everyone will wear them in the future.
