Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I saw Debbie Jordanās messages all over the place and was mildly annoyed by them, but I decided to visit here anyway. Ā Iām very glad I did, and thus Iām somewhat grateful for DJās spam.
Stirred the hornets nest. I donāt see the big deal; donāt click on the site if you donāt dig it. Just donāt be selling me Avon , Market America etc. As the Dali Lama said,āKnow the rules well, so you can break them effectively.ā
I would like to thank Debbie for her good intentions although I certainly wouldnāt want to step on my fellow cartoonistās toes. The fact is that yes, the more page views, the better for both me and Gocomics. Please donāt spam other cartoons but, also, thank you so much for the support.
Alsoā¦ please judge the strip on itās own merits. If you donāt like it, fine but if you do, donāt let the actions of a fan drive you away. We cartoonists are a close-knit lot and I run into many of my peers at National Cartoonist Society functions and let me tell you, everyone Iāve met has been wonderful. So, I hope nobodyās feelings were hurt.Please enjoy the humor you find here and share it with your friends! -your servant with ink-stained hands,Rich
Thanks everyone. Hereās a bit of spam myself: Check out Mike Du Jour by Mike Lester, he started here about the same time I did and I thinks heās pretty dang funny, http://www.gocomics.com/mike-du-jour/2013/02/07
Debbie Jordan is hurting this strip by posting here shill on every comic-you are only hurting this strip because you are ticking people off-and it is a bad Far side ripoff as well
To address the āRip Offā thing: Coming up with 5 gags a week isnāt a cake-walk especially when you make your living doing other stuff. Some gags are bound to overlap and I can accept that, but donāt accuse me of plagiarism for cryinā out loud. I usually think up the weekās gags when Iām out for a walk on Sunday, pencil them Monday and ink through the week.
I canāt control what my fans do. Sorry this woman spammed the toons.
If youād like to see what I do to make money, check out my blog (the link is above), thereās all sorts of stuff about my MAD Magazine work, Game stuff, t-shirts etc.
Itās simply my aim to entertain my audience as best I can and I hope you get a laugh out of it.
Iām glad Debbie mentioned this. Iād much rather have someone recommend a comic they like in the comments versus some political rant any day (though honestly I never saw any of her initial posts, just all the complains about it). As for me, this looks to be an enjoyable strip. āRecycledā or not, I donāt care, it brings a smile to my face.
I also thought dEbbie was being a bit rude by posting the same note on so many other cartoons. However, Iām glad to have found this strip.
Debbie, Iāll appreciate it if you donāt do that often.Mr. Powell, thank you for a funny cartoon. I donāt subscribe, but I will add it to the4 dozen or so cartoons I read every morning.
Debbie is a regular, daily poster at Ten Cats. I think she has been pulled by the moderators here at gocomics. I am sure she meant no harm, just an enthusiastic fan is all. I hope the powers that be will re-consider and let her back.

Iām flagging you for SPAM. Find another way to support your favorite comics, like maybe paying for them.

I too am annoyed by the spamming. I usually enjoy the comments almost as much as the strip. What next? Promoting your online business?
