#93: King Kenny’s Inspiration
Well… it’s been a while. Hope there are still some readers out there. Helllooooo! Anybody there?
I could make excuses (like I got busy at work, went on a trip and got sick for a week)… but I won’t. You see, the delay is not my fault! It’s Soapy’s!
That damn chicken has been so busy appearing other places, she doesn’t have time for her own strip!
Why, just take a look at her moonlighting over in the Joshua Tree!
3rd Place Soapy Pong Champion of the World David Steinlicht sent me a tryptich of Soapy postcards…
She made her triple-x debut in Shad Petosky’s Lutefisk Sushi: Crisis of the Infantile Arts comic for the Lutefisk Sushi show (we’ll spare your soul and only show you one panel from this one)…
And then Uptown Girl creator Bob Lipski gave me this swell drawing of Uptown Girl and Soapy…
All will be added to the Soapy sightings gallery when I get back in the groove…

Soapy Shows up in St. Paul The Pioneer Press
There’s a great comic strip by David Steinlicht and Julio Ojeda-Zapata in the St. Paul Pioneer Press today about Free Comic Book Day… you can see the whole thing here. Best of all, it shows a bunch of characters from local cartoonists, and makes a nice mention of the Cartoonist Conspiracy in the panel shown below.
Pictured in the panel, clockwise from left, would be the little girl in Zander Cannon’s “He Becomes Who Kills Him: A Horror Story” mini-comic from the Lutefisk Sushi Volume B box, one of Sean Tenhoff’s Bean Men, Bob Lipski’s Uptown Girl, Soapy, and one of Ken Avidor’s demons.
The strip also mentions Twin Cities locals Sam Hiti, Ryan Kelly, Dan Jurgens, Patrick Gleason and, of course, Charles Schulz.
Thanks much to Conspirator Steinlicht and Mr. Ojeda-Zapata for the plug!

#88: The Afterlife Placement Agency
Check out Soapy’s guest appearance in Max Konardy’s funny weekly strip “My Three Bosses”… the strip chronicles Max’s ongoing weekly attempts at getting fired from his job at Big Time Attic by ruthlessly caricaturing his bosses. What a job! Thanks Max!
Speaking of Max’s bosses, one of them, Shad Petosky, just featured Soapy extensively in his Lutefisk Sushi comic… I’ll have to scan some of that. To see it, you’ll have to get a copy of the Lutefisk Sushi Volume B box set (which are still available for $25 and also includes the Soapy mini-comic and 48 other mini-comics by a total of 50 Minnesota comic artists). In Shad’s comic, he hilariously skewers many of the other comics in the box… a distinct advantage of doing a comic at the last minute before a deadline! In it he caricatures me ruthlessly as well… I’m just thankful that I don’t have Konardy drawing me every week!
