What initially got me started was that my son wanted to do an animated comic, but neither of us had the drawing skills at the time to make the kind of characters we wanted. So, I got us a copy of Poser (version 2) and we played around with it. The comic never got off the ground, but I was fascinated with the animation tools in it.

A few years later, I decided I wanted to try to make some images with characters in it, instead of the mostly mechanical things I was making with other software. I remember Poser, and was able to find my Poser 2 disks, and I got it upgraded to version 4.

I've been making silly pictures and upgrading it ever since.
