Spook Pooch
I’m happy to announce that this is officially my 500th strip! I never imagined I would ever create this many comic strips in my lifetime, but there it is. Strips are like coal to a steam locomotive. You have to keep shoveling them in to keep the thing moving ahead. They add up when you produce three a week for three years! It seems hard to believe until I look at the stack of bristol that I used to draw them on. I’m proud to have come this far, and I appreciate all of you who keep coming back here to keep up with me.
Congrats on the milestone Mark! And what an adorable strip to mark the occasion.
Thanks much Chris, that means a lot!
Awesome 500th strip, Mark! Congrats!!!
I really appreciate that, Tim! Thanks!
All ready for Halloween. Love it!
I’m getting amped up about it, myself! Love me some Halloween myself!
The perfect ghost costume
Congrats on your 500th Mark. Your work is always top class & so enjoyable. You are an inspiration.
Give or take a few dog prints, Tony, haha. Thanks so much for your wonderful comments, they truly mean a lot. You are an inspiration to me, as well!
That’s one crafty dog.
Congrats on the 500th strip Mark!
An arts and crafty dog, Julian, lol! Thanks so much my friend!
Congratulations on your 500th Zombie Boy Comic Strip!! Brilliant work Mark!
You’ve been such a kind supporter of my work, Paul! That means so much coming from you! Thanks so much!
Hey Mark, congratulations on 500 strips! And pat yourself on the back for maintaining your strip for three years running. You deserve it! 😀
I don’t know what was harder, drawing, inking and coloring 500 strips, or not missing an update…! Your support and encouragement is highly appreciated, Bill, thanks!
That’s a lot of ink slinging. Here’s to the next 500!!! Cheers.
That’s a lot of empty ink bottles, and ink stains where there shouldn’t be, too :-)! Thanks very much, J.P., I really appreciate you!
Congrats Mark – that is a BIG deal. Here’s to at least 500 more!
I agree with you, Kevin. I never thought I’d hit the big 500, but they do add up after all those updates! Thanks for your very kind comment and support, Kevin! I really appreciate it!
That’s how I make MY ghost costumes! Always use your teeth! Congrats on 500 great strips, Mark!
Sometimes you just can’t get your paws on a good pair of scissors! Thanks a lot, Chris!
Ghost Gorr! Now that’s a costume!
The spirit moved him, Jack!
Congrats on 500 strips Mark, and great strip today!
Thanks, David! And thanks for all your support and encouragement!
Good one. Happy 500th birthday Mark
Thanks so much, Gruhn!
So cute! I don’t think I could ever be mad at Gorr! I bet Pooj gets away with murder, Mark!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you for your 500th Comic strip accomplishment! You are an inspiration to me to do my best and be as pro as I can, Mark.
How thick is a stack of 500 strips? Must reach the ceiling!
The stack is a little over a foot tall, no kidding! Joseph, it means a lot for me to hear that I can inspire you to do your best. That’s what I always try to do, and I’m never completely happy with anything I do, I just try my best each time. Thanks a lot for all your kind comments and sentiments! And yes, Pooj gets away with a lot more than he should, but can you blame me? Just look at that face….
Looks suspiciously like my first halloween costume!
Paw prints optional! DIY ghost costumes are probably the most popular with kids and ornery pups!
Congratulations on your 500th strip, Mark! The first 500 is always the hardest.
Time and updates wait for no man! Thanks so much, Peter!
Happy 500! Time to make a book. 🙂
Thanks, Daniel! Yes, a book is in the works. Now I just have to decide which strips to put in it!
Congratulations on #500!
Thank you so much, Tom!
*Hug/hug/hug*! Congratulations, Mark! You create such joyful comics, and have such a kind nature, I never want to miss a ZB strip!
I’m so proud to have a real honest-to-goodness original Zombie Boy Strip hanging on my wall (albeit still in it’s plastic sleeve).
I love this one, too. In four panels you remind us to have fun, to play, to expect the unexpected. I hope you never get tired of hearing me say “Soooo Cuuuuute!” lol
Again, Congrats on 500 strips, Mark! I eagerly await 500 more. <3
Your hugs are greatly appreciated, Jande! As well as your thoughtful words and all your more than generous support of my strip. I hope post-500 will be as fulfilling as pre-500! And thanks for sticking around to see for yourself!
Insta-ghost!
Congrats on 500 strips, Mark. And to the 500 more that are sure to come.
Thanks, Brandon! If I can keep coming up with ideas, I’ll keep posting strips. Striving to be clever and funny is hard, hard work, as you well know! I’ll try my best to keep chugging along!
500 strong and groooow-ing! [grin] …and every one of them as enjoyable as the one before it!
I couldn’t have paid for a better endorsement, Jynksie! You’ve been around since almost the beginning, I can’t say thanks enough for your friendship and continued support!
Congrats on hitting 500!
Thanks, Joe, I really appreciate it!
Wow, he even did a better job with the eyes than that one round headed kid.
Talent comes in all sizes, Jesse! Thanks for stopping by!
