Well, hello there! Mosey on inside the writer’s shack and pull up a chair.

We are now in October. For four months now, Poison Ivy Gulch has ranked in the top 500 listings on Top Webcomics. That is good for a new comic and I aim to keep that going.

Speaking of October, this month is Halloween. Did I mention that Halloween is my favorite holiday? That is because on that day, everyone else looks as nutty as me! I just got in a new denim vest on the last stagecoach and this will go well with my boots, jeans and cowboy hat. I also have a denim jacket; perhaps I should get one of those buckskin jackets.

But enough about me. There is more coming from Poison Ivy Gulch soon. I’ve given a new design to Lotta Doler to make her easier to draw. Strips for 2021 are being drawn with new characters joining the populace of the gulch. You will meet them soon enough.

Also, I got something else on that last stagecoach…ANOTHER FAN LETTER! Let’s read this one from A.P. Fuchs.

Dear Max,

I just wanted to write in and tell you how much I’m enjoying Poison Ivy Gulch. It’s given me a chuckle more than once and, considering 2020 as a whole, chuckles are needed. Thanks for delivering on those.

And the artwork is great, by the way. I’m enjoying the black and white format—being a big fan of black-and-white comics—so please keep it that way.

I hope you’re doing well.I look forward to what you’re going to do next so keep making comics!

That was a cool letter, right? If you want to send me fan mail, you can email me at poisonivygulch(at)aol(dot)com  or you can write snail mail to:

Poison Ivy Gulch, c/o DIFFERENT MOUSETRAP PRESS, 1100 19th Avenue N, #108, Unit J, Fargo ND 58102-2269
