In 2018, they co-wrote and co-starred in the free comedic point-and-click adventure game
The Adventures of Nick and Willikins, based on characters created for
Sarcastic Voyage. The game was produced by
Pinhead Games, and received positive reviews from Kotaku and PC Gamer, among others.
They performed their sketch comedy live to capacity crowds at the Emerald City Comicon in both 2015 and 2016.
In 2012, the pair created
a short YouTube video poking fun at legendary comics creators Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore. Thanks in part to coverage by
Comics Alliance, Topless Robot,
Newsarama and other prominent “nerd news” sites, the video went viral, racking up over 10,000 hits in under a week.
They also co-produced a series of webcomics from 2007-2009 (one of them with Kevin “Flonk” Lynch), which they hope everyone has since forgotten about.
AAl lives in Renton, a suburb of Seattle with his wife, Amanda Smith, with whom he occasionally collaborates creatively. He has gone by the name “AAlgar“ since 1991, and
this comic explains why the name is so important to him.
