PIPE DOPE #150


First          Previous          Next

Holy moley--I've done 150 of these. For a guy who spent way too many years thinking about making comics without actually doing anything about it, this landmark--minor as it is--brings with it a certain sense of satisfaction.

55 more to go...

But first: this week's thumbnails!

  1. Congratulations on 150 strips! That's quite an a achievement, so keep it up!

    And while I understand that the Death of Superman is just a period-specific reference here, I keep coming up with witty retorts from the clerk (for example, "Spoiler Alert: he gets better" or " he died for mankind's lack of creativity")

  2. Thanks so much, Neil! The story will continue tomorrow with #151--apologies for the delay, but things have been busy.

    I actually wrestled for a while with the idea of giving the clerk something to say in that last panel, but at the end of the day I figured it works as is, and readers are welcome to think up their own retorts. (Also, both of your options are better than anything I came up with!)

  3. WTG Jon! Some day I'll have to backtrack to the beginning of the series.

    I don't care what anyone says, the Man of Tomorrow will always be the real Superman to me...

  4. Thanks, Andy! It means a lot to know you've been sticking with this. If and when you do go back to the beginning, I hope it all holds together...
