Nowadays (well, OK, as always) Catatonic Comix and the entire Laffent empire are run and maintained by Rob Noyes, self-proclaimed "media something-or-other. I dunno. You're smart enough, you make something up. I'm tired." Born and raised in the wilds of Western Massachusetts, he quickly alleviated his mountaintop boredom by fashioning crude pencils out of charcoal and scrawling derogatory cartoons on strips of birch bark. His first-known released work, "Humorous Observations Upon The Tremendous Girth And Overall Comical Appearance Of Our Teacher, Ms. Patch" earned him rave reviews from the other 5th graders but also cost him precious recess time and an essay on valuing and respecting the feelings of others. Thus was the cruel give-and-take of artistic genius learned. He cut his artistic chops in the early 1990s on a locally-published comic book that attracted a wide junior high following, won acclaim throughout New England for his editorial cartooning, and has done a lot of funny things online, too. There, now! Aren't these comics infinitely better with such a prestigious background? Noyes currently lives in the eastern part of Massachusetts with two point five cats, a wide variety of computers, and his prized collection of empty Little Debbie Snack Cake boxes. He likes ice cream, riding roller coasters, getting hired, and being called funny. He dislikes close-minded people, rainy days, getting laid off, nuclear war, and being called defendant. Please do not tell him not to give up his day job unless you are prepared to give him one so he can refuse to give it up. |
Catatonic
Comix was a product of Laffent Technologies Humor Solutions,
formerly known as The Funny Web Comic Company. Formed in
1999 for the sole purpose of going IPO, Laffent offered high-end
sequential art product for corporate and individual needs as well
as a wide range of consumer-recognizable, proactive corporate identity
figureheads, easily re-branded and primed for the market. Laffent
had no discernible figurehead, no flamboyant CEO, no grumpy board
of directors. All were faceless in the giant cogs of Laffent, but
all were ready to deliver dynamic, content-driven e-comic solutions
for you or your portfolio. Until the layoffs.
