Over the years, I’ve been asked “what is Pinkerton about?” It’s a very good question. I really don’t know. Sometimes it’s a statement of what’s going on in the world, whether it be pop culture, politics, or just plain old stupid people. Sometimes it’s a little preachy and long winded. Sometimes it even takes a tug at your heart strings. But most times, it’s about four furry animals sitting around a bar in the middle of the woods getting drunk. Coming from an Eastern Pennsylvania upbringing, if that’s not slice of life, I sure as hell don’t know what is.
Pinkerton began in July of 2007 after my previous attempt at comic greatness (44 Union Avenue) sputtered and died. It’s been a labor of love ever since. It’s currently syndicated online by U-Click’s GoComics and published by Th3rd World Studios…both of whom are wise beyond belief and chock full of handsome men and drop-dead gorgeous women. Pinkerton is published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
