Did the bike racks work out when the weather got warmer?
I liked the strip, please let us know if you decide to continue it. A Bicycle mag should have picked it up.

great creativity Love it!
I just hope you dont run out of material/subject matter, in the strips that you did so far you've touched base on alot of issues and circumstances.
I really like the conflicts of yehuda and Joe (rivendell vs roadie) as a commuter I fall in with Yahuda but a very light version I do wear some lycra and use clipless pedals for long rides but use platforms for the 13-17 mile commute.
I do however have an affinnity for bike luggage and being prepared , I haul lots of parts / just in case stuff ,I dont ever wear jerseys (dont need the pockets).
maybe a bit more character development /involvement IE Yehuda taking up brevets , Joe doing event rides with his jersey pockets filled to the brim with stuff while on a carbon trials machine surrounded by hybrid riders ... both of them interacting at a Bike dealers show IE yahuda beside himself seeing the lack of retro type stuff and joe in his glory ...
all in all very clever and a nice treat.
look forward to more storys.

I keep checking Yehuda Moon every morning as part of my schedule. Damn. I hope you get your interest back in doing the comic because a lot of people certainly have the interest in reading it.

I know I said it on the last page, but that strip looked like a lot of work for very little money. I've scrolled through the list of subscribers/sponsors...not huge.
I wonder what the site traffic was like?
I wonder how much ad revenue it brought in? There weren't any obvious ads on the site itself.
A labor of love will only take you so far in life.

I wonder how many had an interest in buying it though.

Agreed though, watching the youtube vid it is amazing the work Rick put into it, mind you I'm glad he did as it looked great quality.
If it is a matter of money Rick I'll be a sponser.

I suspect that the Joe King comic strip is coming in a month or two. Rick obviously liked doing it and it had a decent following. But in the end it's a business, and it's hard to say how the business model looks for him.

Joe King? That'd be great ... I've got my doubts.
If Yehuda was taking up too much time, wouldn't Joe do the same?
