I used to listen to The Lightbox Podcast Matt Stout and Chris Flick (www.capesandbabes.com) produced which I enjoyed immensely. They spent an entire episode reviewing my comic preserved for posterity, so for that I’m grateful.
When Matt’s impending first-time parenthood was announced I thought to myself “He’s going to need guest strips when the baby comes”.
When I got a direct request from Matt as part of his circle of friends, I was pleased to knock one out. I always enjoyed his wholesome content, and had a lot of fun rendering his characters, which ran in early February 2011.
I never expected the outcome. A scant strip or two later, Matt put “Big Sandy Gilmore” on hiatus due to his new responsibilities.
The moral of the story: if you want to end your webcomic, simply ask me to do a guest strip!
See you all on Wednesday.
