Howdy again!  Welcome, greenhorns, to another round of the Writer’s Shack!

Now we are in the second month of publication and things keep getting better.  We are still in the Top 500 ranked comics on Top Webcomics (that’s out of tens of thousands)!  A steady stream of traffic continues to flow to the comics and I aim to keep it growing.

More is already in store for Poison Ivy Gulch.  I’ve decided that Lotta Doler, our pretty protagonist, is going to be redesigned to make her easier to draw.  It will be a while though before you see the new design; strips through early December are being uploaded now and they have her present design.

Also more characters are being planned.  They will start to appear in January.  Who are they?  You’ll just have to wait to see!

Make sure you vote for us over on Top Webcomics and if you like my comics, then buy me a Ko-Fi.

Your fan mail is appreciated.  You can send it to poisonivygulch(at)aol(dot)com.  Of course, if you prefer old-fashioned snail mail, please write to:

Welcome back, cowpokes, to this month’s edition of the Writer’s Shack.

It’s been one whole month since Poison Ivy Gulch officially launched.  We have had a phenomenal first month!  We finished in the top 500 of the humor category over on Top Webcomics.  That is very good for a newly launched webcomic.

However, we don’t plan to rest on our laurels.  There’s a lot more in store for Poison Ivy Gulch.  

Like what, you may ask?  Well, I’ll explain.

At the time of this writing, plans are already underway for the first Poison Ivy Gulch book.  On top of that, the schedule might change; as we stand, updates are twice a week.  If all goes well, that schedule might change to three times a week.  This could happen as early as January 2021.  To this end, more gags are being written down in notebooks as it is important to have lots of material.  I am also developing more characters to add to the cast, but you’ll learn about them soon enough.

Make sure you vote for us over on Top Webcomics and if you like my comics, then buy me a Ko-Fi.

Death and dying was a big part of life out in the old West. That’s where Rigg R. Mortis comes in; he’s the undertaker in Poison Ivy Gulch. When someone dies or is about to die, he shows up to help with final arrangements. He has a variety of burial options and coffins to fit all budgets.

Rigg is very good friends with the hangman Herman the German as their business involves death. They can be seen chatting with either other and having a drink at the saloon.
