Welcome to this week’s Way Back Wednesday!
Today’s comic was originally posted January 2, 2008.
Picpak was never the type to wear pants. That’s why he’s banned in Finland!

Earlier this week, the webcomics mastermind Mark Stokes of Zombie Boy arranged #Picpak20, a day devoted to fan art commemorating 20 years of Picpak Dog comics. The hashtag was a huge success on Twitter and Facebook and brought on some incredible talent. Here’s all the wonderful work you guys blessed me with! And to top it all off, Travis Blair of Zarfling is doing a comic book giveaway in my honor! I couldn’t be more thankful. For more info, check out the #Picpak20 hashtag on Twitter. I was truly moved by your love and support and thank you once again. And of course, a special thanks to Mark for making this all happen. Here’s to 20 more years of Picpak!
Today I’m featuring Max West’s brand new comic strip Tiffany and Corey. It’s a simple gag strip updated two times a week that features jokes and wordplay like you see in Picpak Dog. The writing is sharp and the designs are playful. Be sure to check it out today!
What is Comikka, you ask? Comikka is an awesome way to read webcomics on both desktop and mobile, no app needed. Plus it supports its creators better than any other webcomic hosting service! If you have an ad blocker, be sure to turn it off or make an exception for Comikka as it won’t load properly otherwise. You can see Picpak Dog on Comikka here. Right now it has comics from 2012, but others will come soon. Enjoy!
What happened yesterday could be considered as nothing short of a miracle. While I still haven’t gone into full details about my recent disappearance (don’t worry, I will later), I received nearly 40 pieces of fan art via the #VivaPicpak hashtag on Twitter, resulting in some amazing artwork done in many different styles. Now obviously that’s way too much artwork to post all at once, but I will be spreading it out over the coming weeks. Even names as big as Lunarbaboon got in the fun, where his comic received over 4000 (yes, four thousand) likes on Facebook in just a few short hours! One person went out of his own hiatus to create artwork, and another even created an animated Picpak!
Of course, none of this can go without a HUGE thank you to my friend Jon Esparza. He arranged for all of this to happen in under two weeks! Knowing that my simple little characters can evoke so much out of so many people has been an amazing feeling. I want to thank you all for making my day, cracking me up, and showing me my characters in ways I never would have imagined.
I tried my best to comment/retweet on every piece of fan art that came up. If I didn’t get to yours or it fell through the cracks, contact me on Twitter and I will definitely give you props. Once again, a huge thank you to you all…because I’m speechless, I don’t know what else to say. Thanks for all the love and support!
