Dope Rider Music by Kurokuma

I gave permission to the band Kurokuma to do something based on a Dope Rider story. I was going to call it a song, but I don't think that's the right word; "sonic experience," maybe? I believe the style is called sludge metal but I'm not up on these precise terms. The important thing is that the Lone Stoner is most pleased. At last he has the soundtrack for his biopic!

Paul Kirchner Interview

I recently did a long interview with Robin McConnell for his Inkstuds podcast, which focuses on independent cartoonists. I spoke about my career, my association with Wally Wood, the development of the Dope Rider strip, "the bus," and my new strip, "Hieronymus & Bosch." Here's a link in case you're interested.

Dope Rider, "Moods"

I was pleased with this Dope Rider strip because it is such a stylistic departure from anything I had done previously. Gotta think of more such crazy stuff, but unhinging the brain properly is always a challenge. You don't want it completely off the hinges...

A follow-up to the previous month's strip:

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."
