Making "The Oatmeal" in Tangletown

The popular comic “The Oatmeal” sometimes has an “I was just thinking that!” quality that might make you suspect its creator is overhearing your conversations. Well, maybe he is. You can often find “The Oatmeal” author Matthew Inman and his laptop among the sea of humans and electronic devices at Zoka Coffee in Tangletown, Amy Duncan at our sister site My Green Lake discovered. A couple of tidbits:

[Inman’s] book “5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides)”, published on March 1, 2011, reached #5 on the New York Times Best Sellers List and #2 on the Amazon Best Sellers List. 100% of book sale profits this week (ending Friday, April 8, 2011) are being donated by Matthew to the Japan Relief Fund.

Matthew is often spotted at Zoka Coffee Roaster & Tea House (2200 N 56th St), where he can be seen working on his comics. Last February, he tweeted a twitpic from the Tangletown coffeeshop which captured “The 10 types of high fives and when to use them” in progress on his laptop. The comic can now be found in 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth.
