<P> <STRONG>Who are Fil & Lil Tux?</STRONG><BR>
|
|
They are evolving characters! Fil Tux is a Linux Zealot trying to indoctrinate Lil Tux.
|
|
|
|
<P> <STRONG>When did Fil & Lil Tux begin?</STRONG><BR>
|
|
Concept was created December 18, 2001. The first cartoon appeared on whatisnew.com December 26, 2001.
|

|
|
<P> Would you like to use Fil & Lil on your website? Go for it! All we ask is
|
|
that you link back to their home page:

The first cartoon is a play on the marketing of OS and how the
|
|
users react. Windows 95/98 is archaic and users are in the dark about OS
|
|
options. Windows XP is primary and attracts basic users. Linux users see
|
|
things as black and white, such as, "there should be Linux on every desktop".
|
|
|
|
<P> Here's a little brief on the characters in the cartoon:

Pets: AJ & Gracie (fictitious dogs on <A HREF="http://whatisnew.com">whatisnew.com</A>)
|
|
Lil wants to know why people use Linux and what Linux is all about.
|
|
Lil's quote: We're not cartoonists. We were just sitting around the table,
|
|
Fil started making jokes, and I started writing them down.
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<P> Now to more serious stuff:
|
|
|
|
<P> Fil and Lil are combinations of people we know, customers, distributors,
|
|
and manufacturers. ESC Technologies operates computer information websites,
|
|
in addition to being a system builder and component supplier. We like Linux
|
|
and thought the community needed a chuckle or two.
|
|
|
|
<P> Layne Heiny, VP ESC Technologies R&D, comes up with most of the jokes and
|
|
draws Fil & Lil. Loren Heiny, Founder <A HREF="http://MyEmailStatus.com">MyEmailStatus.com</A>, also comes up with jokes and funny
|
|
scenarios.
|
|
|
|
<P> Lora Heiny, General partner ESC Technologies, draws the background and
|
|
layout for the cartoon. I edit and delete the REALLY bad jokes.
