Brian Ball Bio:
Stranger, Legend, Martyr As the Co-Author of RAGS along with Trent Luther, Brian Ball is most often left out of the writing credits on official sites and services. This has led to the on-going joke of Brian Ball being the "Other Guy" and he credits himself as such moving forward. RAGS is the first and probably the last comic to be written by this Army Veteran.

Interview with TEAM RAGS – The RAGS comic, Comicsgate and thoughts on censorship and cancel culture
http://thegg.net/interviews/interview-with-team-rags-the-rags-comic-comicsgate-and-thoughts-on-censorship-and-cancel-culture/
As some of you art, anime, manga and comics fans might have noticed. As of lately, quite a few artists have been attacked via social media just because they like fanservice, sexy/beautiful and thick ladies.
Well, since I just happen to love sexy and thick babes, art, anime, manga and comics. I just thought that it could be a good idea to do an interview with some artists in each of the previously mentioned industries.
The idea would be for us to let artists share their thoughts about censorship, PC/SJW madness, ComicsGate, cancel culture and much more.
So first up we got the people from Team RAGS (the creators of the “RAGS” comic). Long story short, I got a chance to sit down and do an interview with Brian Ball from TEAM RAGS.
Well, we ended up talking about everything from the “RAGS” comic, censorship, ComicsGate, SJW madness to cancel culture and much more.
If my memory doesn’t fail me know, the main character of the Rags comics (Regina Ragowski) is based on a real actual person right? (Liz Finnegan) And how did that go from an idea to an actual character that you would make into the star of your comics series?
Brian
Yes, that’s right. Because Regina’s face is based and modeled after Liz Finnegan. That initially was more of a hidden easter egg that we weren’t even going to let her in on until the entire thing was done.
Regina was always described in the initial scripts as being a 6’1 Former Marine with red-hair, green eyes and freckles covering her face and body. Just as a nod to my appreciation of Liz’s football tweets (they’re entertaining as fuck to me.) we threw that in as an easter egg.
Anyway right before we were gonna give up making this (we had A LOT of start-up problems.) We decided to reach out to Liz to see if it was okay. This was sort of a “hail-mary” to see if providence wanted this made. Well, she read the script, loved it and came aboard to help out with whatever we needed.
Since not everyone may be aware of your comics, could you perhaps give us a brief introduction of what the Rags comics is all about?
Brian
RAGS is the story of former Marine, Regina Ragowski as she tries to survive in the town of Paso Robles without any pants. Along the way she meets the National Guard soldier who may or may not know more about the whole situation that he’s letting on.
