The saddest part of doing Sexy Losers is that my best joke came out so early. Every strip since has lived under the shadow of this one. It was actually suicide prevention week. I heard it on the radio the one morning. I didn't give it much thought, until I was walking home from work trying to work out an idea for the next strip. It just sort of popped into my head from nowhere, already worked out. I dashed it off, and I had a classic in my hands.
When I see people posting my strips (the bandwidth sucking bastards) or quoting them, this is the strip they use. It's kind of sad, because it's not a representative strip, it's actually pretty damn funny.
Not surprisingly, when A-G started running Sexy Loser strips, this was the one that made it into #1.
