I haven't had that many inquiries from people in the US, or when I do and they hear my price I don't get a response. High Times pays me pretty well considering how little comics pays these days, but it's only by selling the originals that I can get anything close to a reasonable compensation for the time I put in. Fortunately, I love doing it in any case.Paul Kirchnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426412455102496912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626777931673717956.post-5523369231997621952018-09-18T16:26:15.519-07:002018-09-18T16:26:15.519-07:00Happy to see youre back at it because im a new rea...Happy to see youre back at it because im a new reader. Ran across your comic strips by chance, theyre very entertaining. Id love to see some original signed artwork in your store. Thanks and good luck to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646044839096081833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626777931673717956.post-8048165849043995392018-01-12T18:18:37.049-08:002018-01-12T18:18:37.049-08:00Haha--thanks much.

(The idea always takes me a lot longer than the execution.)<br /><br />The new Dope Riders are definitely different in feel from the old ones. I've changed over the years and the magazine's needs have changed. I'm just happy to be doing it again.Paul Kirchnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426412455102496912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626777931673717956.post-30492848471569466552018-01-09T15:43:34.397-08:002018-01-09T15:43:34.397-08:00I completely understand; I would want it to be com...I completely understand; I would want it to be complete as well. In any case, I look forward to seeing other work by you in this book. I have been meaning to check out The Bus for a while now ever since I saw some strips posted online. <br /><br />If High Times or someone asked you to do a longer Dope Rider piece, say something nearing the length of a standard comic book, would you have any ideas for story or in your opinion does the strip only work in shorter installments? I think a Dope Rider one-shot comic book could work as the story is only as important as the art and I think you could do some really interesting things with a longer format, more room for the interesting layouts and jokes you do so well. I've been loving the one-pagers you've been doing since the revival in High Times' 40th Anniversary issue but the four-pagers from the original run were wonderful as well. Your strip is really the only reason I buy High Times anymore (also the recipes).<br /><br />Anyways, hope your new year is off to a good startProphet-of-Ganjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264623351842434837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626777931673717956.post-15158371135679885432017-12-06T20:38:59.150-08:002017-12-06T20:38:59.150-08:00Thanks much!

Sometime in the future there will be a dedicated Dope Rider anthology, but it doesn't seem to make sense to do that until I've wrapped up the strip. I'd want such an anthology to be complete.Paul Kirchnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426412455102496912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626777931673717956.post-13506662022631143252017-11-29T20:35:12.338-08:002017-11-29T20:35:12.338-08:00Wow, this looks amazing.

I am definitely adding this to my holiday wish list and will be getting it for myself if no one else does! <br /><br />I look forward to seeing the last Dope Rider strip from the original run in color, it's one of my favoritesProphet-of-Ganjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264623351842434837noreply@blogger.com
