Glad you liked it, John. I have the whole set of those I can email you if you're interested. I think there were 60 strips all told.

It was a good comic, of course I printed it.

I'm a sucker for alternative art in all its g(l)ory. I think that means I'm a fan.

This is great! I just started my journey into making a comic strip, "It's ALL Good Times": I only recently finished the character design and have a few strips sketched. It's nice to find someone on Substack who is also interested in creating comics. https://www.redbubble.com/people/l-e-wilson/shop?artistUserName=l-e-wilson&collections=2376032

Thanks! There are two other parts to it as well as an unwritten third. I am shopping my latest comic around to publishers, but it's looking more like another self-publishing foray. It's really hard to break in. Here's one I did in 2012 if you're interested. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nnvxl1x8ql3vev4/fabulous_flocks_p1.pdf?dl=0

You're very talented! Your earlier work, which is more like "Calvin and Hobbes" is very appealing. Bill Watterson faced a lot of rejection early on, and the newspaper industry is obviously never returning to its pinnacle when it was the only real outlet for comic strips. Self-publishing is pretty much it now. Have you posted on WebToons? https://www.webtoons.com/en/

I have not. I had a strip on Drunk Duck for some years. That's part 4 of my life in comics, a post still in progress. Maybe later this week?
