Or does that not count because it was self-published? Well, I have a copy of that too.<br /><br />Best,<br />L<br /><br />P.S. I kind of like the new artwork better, but pages out of order, hmmm... a really bad sign.Lichanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452259145137099997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246957143163251215.post-87837047908606050182010-03-24T11:54:37.563-07:002010-03-24T11:54:37.563-07:00Lichanos -- Yes, you are right!

When the editors of McSweeneys asked for submissions, they said we could contribute either a new strip or an older one that we liked. So I decided to do both! I was never quite satisfied with the art on the earlier strip so I (kind of impulsively) decided to do a "remake" in color (I remember thinking how Hitchcock had remade his own 1930s black & white film, The Man Who Knew Too Much, as a lavish color movie in the 1950s). Anyway -- when the pages were printed out of order, I took it as a sign from the gods that it was kind of egotistical as to be remaking my own stories!richard salahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869333305859385257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246957143163251215.post-73156544098222971272010-03-24T05:27:36.135-07:002010-03-24T05:27:36.135-07:00Richard-

I'd swear that I've read it before in one of my books, but I don't want to search through my shelves for it!Lichanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452259145137099997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246957143163251215.post-49313360459399818252010-03-23T23:01:03.869-07:002010-03-23T23:01:03.869-07:00Thanks, Erin - I appreciate it!
Dries, this story...Thanks, Erin - I appreciate it!<br /><br />Dries, this story appeared in McSweeney's Quarterly Concern #13, a special deluxe hardcover anthology of comics. If you go looking for it, avoid the first printing if you can -- my pages were printed out of order! (It was corrected in subsequent editions)...richard salahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869333305859385257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246957143163251215.post-87714310149473222672010-03-23T15:58:35.033-07:002010-03-23T15:58:35.033-07:00Nice story!
