Megatokyo is a very successful webcomic that many of you probably need no further introduction to. For the rest of you, the Wikipedia article is pretty comprehensive and amazingly well referenced with further reading material.

The author, Fred Gallagher - a.k.a. Piro - has managed to avoid having a job other than cartooning full time since 2002, and to make a decent living on advertising and merchandising profits. Despite this, he is somewhat notorious for his irregular update schedule, and posting filler art and other material just so the Megatokyo home page doesn't sit stagnant for weeks on end.

So that's what I'm doing wrong...

2016-09-25 Rerun commentary: Despite continuing the comic for several years after this sneak preview character, we're yet to see this character appear in the storyline.

I'm going to claim this is another deliberate reference to the fact that Megatokyo's story develops so slowly. You might see this character in the comic in another ten years or so.
