History Trivia / Sinfest

* ReclusiveArtist: Tatsuya Ishida is ''very'' rarely seen, to the point that only one image of him can be found online. Some fans have even wondered if he died at some point -- reasons vary from the change in the strip over time, to just the fact that they can't find out that much about the guy. Nobody has verified a death, and he keeps trying to get ''Sinfest'' into more mainstream publications, so he's out there but just hiding.

* FanNickname: The [[MouthOfSauron Mouth of]] [[AuthorAvatar Ishida]] For Post-Sisterhood Monique.

* RealitySubtext: All over the place with the Sisterhood's advent, but also before.
** Monique's personality shift towards Feminism, and the reaction from her fanbase, mirrors the strip's BrokenBase.
** The White Matrix makes its first appearance after the results of the Zimmerman trial, and Bike Girl immediately expands her repertoire.
** The picture on the desk in [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2005-11-28 this strip]]. Compare the fact that later he mentions his ex multiple times during a short period: [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-11-10 2010-11-10]], [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-11-11 2010-11-11]], and [[http://sinfest.net/view.php?date=2010-11-14 2010-11-14]]. Note that the picture in the first link greatly resembles the image of Tat's ex, and draw your own conclusions.
** Candidate UsefulNotes/BarackObama appeared during the 2008 election.
** In the 2012 election, Squigley posed as "Sarah Piglin", parodying guess-who.
* ReclusiveArtist: Tatsuya Ishida is ''very'' rarely seen, to the point that only one image of him can be found online. He's not quite Creator/ThomasPynchon Reclusive, but he's getting there. Some fans have even wondered if he died at some point. Reasons vary from the change in the strip over time, to just the fact that they can't find out that much about the guy. Nobody has verified a death, and he keeps trying to get ''Sinfest'' into more mainstream publications, so he's out there but [[HesJustHiding just hiding]]. One might realize that the author of a successful comic does not want to get harassed 24/7. This was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d at one point by an AuthorAvatar being followed around by an annoying Expy of Lil' Evil.
** Unfortunately subverted once he became active on Twitter and Spinster. There he regularly makes his opinions known.
* UnderminedByReality: Post Sisterhood-arc strip uses women as mouthpieces for the male author. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if he didn't ascribe to a small radical subset of feminism and use the characters to attack all other types of feminism.

* FanNickname: The [[{{Mouthpiece}} Mouth]] [[MouthOfSauron of]] [[AuthorAvatar Ishida]] For Post-Sisterhood Monique.
