There will be a new Strangers In Paradise story next year for 2013—the 20th anniversary of SiP. You’ll have to wait until then to find out what America’s cutest couple has been up to, but one thing I can tell you, they’re very clean.
A romantic Italian asked me to draw Julie (Echo) getting married to Dillon. I had no problem with that, even though in real life they’re still not married. They live in sin… SIN, I say! Oh the shame. Crazy kids.
A page from Strangers In Paradise VOL 3, #9 on my drawing board. The art from this issue was made before I had a scanner (I guess that would put it somewhere between WWI and WWII), so the art was shipped to the printer to be shot by camera. The art was lost in the mail on its way back to me and I was not happy, because I really liked the art on this one. One year later it showed up in my PO Box, water buckled in a dirty, ripped open envelope that carried time stamps from the dead letter department in Atlanta, GA. Amazingly, it had found its way home. Nobody wants to buy these non-flat pages, but I think they’re special.
Gwen Stacy portrait drawn on a blank trading card. I love you, Gwen Stacy. Someday I will avenge your death… on the assholes who wrote it.
San Diego 1997, I had lunch with the first group of known SiP fans. Standing next to skinny, young me is the lovely Maida, who would one day create and maintain my website www.strangersinparadise.com
Molly watercolor portrait, used for the Molly & Poo TPB. She looks so prim and proper victorian, but she was actually quite an infamous murderer. You’d have to read the story to find out who.
When Charles Schulz was sick with cancer, all the cartoonists in the Nat’l Cartoonists Society sent him a card. This was the sketch I drew for him.
