Dope Rider

I originally set up this blog to showcase the old Dope Rider comic strips I occasionally did for High Times from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. With High Times' 40th anniversary issue in 2014, I restarted the strip and have been doing my best to get one done for each issue. A few months after they appear in the magazine, I will archive them here. Note: all images are copyrighted by Paul Kirchner.

Dope Rider, "Tab"

I had fun doing these fantasy/reality match cuts.

Dope Rider, "Looking"

I considered having Dope Rider encounter Stanley Kubrick inside the landing module, but decided that was too "of the moment."

Trip to Dallas & Fort Worth

I was in Dallas last week, helping my wife at a sales convention. Because of the northeaster our return flight was postponed, so we got a chance to see some of the Western sites. I especially enjoyed the Old Stockyard section of Fort Worth, where they drive a herd of longhorn steer through the streets twice daily. Lots of Dope Rider inspiration there.
