Common man: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, Tim O'Shea chats with Troy Hickman about a decade of the Common Grounds "universe":
 
"... Holey Crullers, and now Common Grounds, is one of the things I've always wanted to do in comics: tell a superhero story that focuses on the humanity of the characters. Given the format of the book, I can tell just about any kind of story I choose. Because it tends to be all characterization and dialogue, I can do comedy, drama, suspense, pathos, just about anything. So it never gets boring. And because I have to keep the book interesting within that ostensibly static format, it remains fun, and a challenge, for me."
 
(Where's Tim been hiding, anyway?)
