All the 1970s - 80s Dope Riders, along with other of my comics, are in my anthology Awaiting the Collapse. The comics I've done from 2015 through 2020 are in my new anthology, A Fistful of Delirium. Both are available at www.paulkirchner.com. If you'd like to purchase Dope Rider merchandise, I’ve opened shops on some on-line stores. I have a Dope Rider shop at Red Bubble and have a Dope Rider Store at CafePress.com. Your patronage is most appreciated!

Dope Rider, "The Spirit of Ganja"

Sometimes I can clearly recall where the idea for a Dope Rider strip came from and sometimes I can't. In this case, I can. There is a commenter at this blog who calls himself "Prophet of Ganja." I like that name but made it Spirit of Ganja for this cartoon. I was also inspired by a tapestry at the hospice where my beloved mother-in-law resided for a few weeks before her death in June 2016. I don't think my character looks much like the one in the picture below, but it put the image into my head.

    Wow, that is so cool! I'm honored that I could help with inspiration.

    I am also sorry to hear about the passing of a loved one, that is always hard. Much love to you and yours

      I give credit where credit is due, Prophet! And I appreciate the good wishes.
