This blog has been averaging less than ten hits a day, sometimes only two or three, but since it was featured in Dangerous Minds and Gawker a couple of days ago I've been getting over 5,000 hits a day. When this kind of thing happens I feel like the Steve Martin character in "The Jerk" when he sees his name listed in the telephone book. "I'm somebody now! This is
the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes
people! Things are going to start happening to me now!" Well, we'll see.
To welcome my new visitors I'll post my one-page Dope Rider comic from January's High Times. I'll be putting up more of these new strips a few months after the issue in which they appeared is off the stands.
not gonna lie man, it was the gawker article what brought me here, but I stayed for the humor & Magritte references. keep up the amazing work, & I look forward to the Dope Rider omnibus; perfect with some Spindrift & O.G. Kush...
ReplyDeleteThanks for staying! I'm grateful for the attention the Gawker piece brought to the old work.
DeleteI first saw some Dope Rider panels in random places around the internet, but never with any source info. It wasn't until I picked up the 40th anniversary High Times issue that I saw the Dope Rider issue and fell in love and tracked down the rest. Glad to hear that a published collection is coming
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate that. There are a few publishers interested, so we'll see who is in a position to do the best job with it.
