"A Fistful of Delirium"--New Dope Rider Collection

A new collection of my Dope Rider strips that appeared in High Times between January 2015 and May 2020. This is the English-language edition. Each book will be signed and will include a hand-signed, limited-edition print.

It's $30. Please buy it through www.paulkirchner.com rather than amazon or ebay.

There are more than 60 one-page strips. Each strip appears on a righthand page, with a continuing with a wordless story continuing in single frames throughout the book on the left, as is shown below.

Dope Rider, "Surf Guitar"

 I had been listening to compilations of surf guitar music on YouTube when I did this one.

Dope Rider, "President"

 High Times contacted me when--to my surprise!--it was going to resume publication in September 2020, and they wanted a new Dope Rider. Well, what to do but a not entirely coherent take on national politics?

Dope Rider, "Reality"

 This is the last Dope Rider I did before High Times shut down for a few months. I have a book coming out soon of all the strips I've done for High Times since I started doing a page an issue in January 2015. This will be the last of the one pagers in the collection. I think it's makes a good finale, but it's not the Bone Ranger's last hurrah. I'm back doing a Dope rider page every month except for a couple of recent hiccups, such as missing one month cuz of having the goldurned COVID. Anyway, at the moment I've got a couple of good ideas and I'm going to try to finally get ahead on the strips so I won't miss a deadline again.

Dope Rider, "Rodeo"

 Sorry not to have been putting up Dope Rider strips on a monthly basis. There is a gap of five months or so when High Times had suspended publishing. However, it's back in business and I am back at producing Dope Riders. This is one from the spring of 2020.

Dope Rider, "Free Will."

 I had some fun philosophizing with this one. And hey, like the man says, buy my books!
