Welcome back, everyone! We had quite a month here in the gulch.
Our performance on Top Webcomics was exemplary. Every since our launch back in June, we have finished in the Top 500 rankings out of tens of thousands of entries and for October 2020, we finished in the TOP 400! That is incredible. Of course, I’ve been getting some hate mail recently saying that Top Webcomics is a fake website with their rankings being false; that site looks very real to me.
Speaking of mail, let’s get to the good stuff – MORE FAN MAIL! We got more mail on the recent stagecoaches so I’ll share them.
This first one is a postcard with a postmark from Denver, Colorado and this one reads: Hey, love your comic Poison Ivy Gulch. I sure miss Old West stuff. Mayor Sidewinder is a hoot. He looks like my third grade science teacher. Keep on drawing!!! Bob
Thanks, Bob, but I do assure you that any resemblance between Mayor Samuel Sidewinder and your teacher is a coincidence. In fact, any resemblance between Mayor Sidewinder and a competent mayor is a coincidence! Anyway, moving on, our next letter is from Sam out in Frankfort, Kentucky.
This one reads: I have to say I really enjoy your work. Dominic & Claire Circus is my favorite print book you’ve put out so far but I’m really looking forward to seeing Poison Ivy Gulch its own book too. I’m not sure if I really have a “favorite” character from P.I.G. but Lotta Doler and Mayor Sidewinder are the characters that really stand out to me. You have a real skill for comic strip story telling and I for one am looking forward to reading more of your work in the years to come. [sic]
Also enclosed was art of some kind of orc/goblin/ogre thing. He’d probably intimidate anyone in the saloon, even without six-guns or a Winchester. We have time for one more letter so here we are. This one isn’t actually a letter.
This one is art from Brenda in New Jersey. There’s writing on the back which reads: From one creator to another – Friendship through Art. Keep up the laughs & fun & enjoy this personal piece just for you friend.
