I saw Debbie Jordan’s messages all over the place and was mildly annoyed by them, but I decided to visit here anyway. I’m very glad I did, and thus I’m somewhat grateful for DJ’s spam.
Stirred the hornets nest. I don’t see the big deal; don’t click on the site if you don’t dig it. Just don’t be selling me Avon , Market America etc. As the Dali Lama said,“Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.”
I would like to thank Debbie for her good intentions although I certainly wouldn’t want to step on my fellow cartoonist’s toes. The fact is that yes, the more page views, the better for both me and Gocomics. Please don’t spam other cartoons but, also, thank you so much for the support.
Also… please judge the strip on it’s own merits. If you don’t like it, fine but if you do, don’t let the actions of a fan drive you away. We cartoonists are a close-knit lot and I run into many of my peers at National Cartoonist Society functions and let me tell you, everyone I’ve met has been wonderful. So, I hope nobody’s feelings were hurt.Please enjoy the humor you find here and share it with your friends! -your servant with ink-stained hands,Rich
Thanks everyone. Here’s a bit of spam myself: Check out Mike Du Jour by Mike Lester, he started here about the same time I did and I thinks he’s pretty dang funny, http://www.gocomics.com/mike-du-jour/2013/02/07
Debbie Jordan is hurting this strip by posting here shill on every comic-you are only hurting this strip because you are ticking people off-and it is a bad Far side ripoff as well
To address the “Rip Off” thing: Coming up with 5 gags a week isn’t a cake-walk especially when you make your living doing other stuff. Some gags are bound to overlap and I can accept that, but don’t accuse me of plagiarism for cryin’ out loud. I usually think up the week’s gags when I’m out for a walk on Sunday, pencil them Monday and ink through the week.
I can’t control what my fans do. Sorry this woman spammed the toons.
If you’d like to see what I do to make money, check out my blog (the link is above), there’s all sorts of stuff about my MAD Magazine work, Game stuff, t-shirts etc.
It’s simply my aim to entertain my audience as best I can and I hope you get a laugh out of it.
I’m glad Debbie mentioned this. I’d much rather have someone recommend a comic they like in the comments versus some political rant any day (though honestly I never saw any of her initial posts, just all the complains about it). As for me, this looks to be an enjoyable strip. “Recycled” or not, I don’t care, it brings a smile to my face.
I also thought dEbbie was being a bit rude by posting the same note on so many other cartoons. However, I’m glad to have found this strip.
Debbie, I’ll appreciate it if you don’t do that often.Mr. Powell, thank you for a funny cartoon. I don’t subscribe, but I will add it to the4 dozen or so cartoons I read every morning.
Debbie is a regular, daily poster at Ten Cats. I think she has been pulled by the moderators here at gocomics. I am sure she meant no harm, just an enthusiastic fan is all. I hope the powers that be will re-consider and let her back.
