I actually stumbled across Cowboy Wally in a bookstore when it first came out. I read that thing over and over again until it was completely worn out. (I still have it.) It was exactly everything that I wanted comics to be – smart, funny, sarcastic, and with incredible artwork. Then when Why I Hate Saturn came out and I wore that copy out, I knew that I had to get back into comics. So, yeah, these two books kicked me back into wanting to be a maker of comics. I wanted to try and be as good as those two books.

I was one of those people who pined for it to be re-released in the 90s and was ecstatic when it was finallly reissued in the mid 90s. I was always envious of those people who had copies and then would put quotes in their sigs, saying “ha. I have the book and you don’t.”

such a great book.

I need to reread King David sometime. I didn’t care for it when it came out, but I probably had the wrong expectations. I hope you like Wally — let us know what you think!

For Martin:
Religious or not, Baker’s “King David” is a great read.

I actually picked up The Cowboy Wally Show a while back during a store clearance, but I’d forgotten about it until now. Sounds like I’ve been missing out. I’ll pull it off the shelf this week. Thanks, Johanna!

I love Why I Hate Saturn and The Cowboy Wally Show, but I haven’t liked anything he’s written since. I wish he’d do more comics like those two.
