I’m such a fan of westerns, so this comic was a lot of fun to write! Now if I could only wedge some classic science fiction in there, life would be a treat. Too bad science fiction in film won’t be all that popular in Hopton’s Vale for almost thirty years! I mean, there are only so many jokes one can get out of Melies or Fritz Lang.

Was anybody out for NXNE over the weekend? I didn’t make it to quite as many shows as I meant to, but I was definitely around, and I had a blast! Music makes the world go ’round, and this weekend it was definitely winding up Toronto.

Also, a reminder that our first official contest is still running! Comment on any comic between now and Friday, June 22 and you will be entered up to three times in a draw to have your image drawn in the background of an upcoming Alleged Whiskey issue. The winners will also be sent concept drawings of themselves in 1920s regalia.
