I always thought of Yehuda as more of a "live and let live" kind of guy.

Captain Dashboard -- brilliant!!! :D

Damn, I spit out my milk when I read this one!!!:roflmao:

I have to say, I just LOVE the way you use the non-verbal aspects of the comic. Yehuda's "!" with the pothole made me spit coffee on the keyboard.

Now, I must go and remove half the gadgets from my handlebars.... :D

My sentiments exactly!

A little late to the party...just read all your strips. Keep up the good work!

Does anybody else pick up on the fact that Fred isn't real in the comic? at least, in the flesh and blood sense?

Haha, brilliant!

It inspires me to paint my own bike lane on the streets here. :-)

Is Fred a ghost, possibly the former owner of the "ghost bike"?

BTW: Mega++ on identifying this, I also miss that subtle stuff.

If he's a ghost, why does he appear to both Joe and Yehuda? I don't see anything that marks Fred as anything but an elderly man who hangs out at a bike shop.

Yehuda!!! How dare you make fun of a $4000 bike! Hilarious! :D

Love that the rider's rear is way high yet they guy looks so happy. Awesome!:D

+1. 4/24/08 is awesome.

I really want to go post this in the roadie forum now. Probably not wise. :D

Rick, you are one funny dude.

I found your strip before I joined this forum. Liked it so much I bought a Yehuda Moon coffee cup for work and a T-Shirt for home!

Thanks!

Some news:

I just received the proof copy of the first printed album of Yehuda Moon comic strips. The book will be around 64 pages and in full color. It'll contain strips from January through June, 2008 as well as a few pages of extras (like the first sketches of Joe and Yehuda, etc.). I plan on doing a book every six months.

It's print-on-demand, which means copies are created as ordered. The proof copy is very good - the colors pop on the glossy paper and the cover is thick but not too thick. I'll post pics shortly.

The book will be available in about six to eight weeks.

I get the feeling he is connected to the ghost bike, as perhaps the father of the rider that the bike is a memorial to.

Hate to be redundant but have to join in the praises...the strip is awesome! :)

I am Captain Dashboard. I am.

I'm excited about the book(s)! My dad cycle commuted for a long time and used to do some touring. I'm actually hoping to get him out riding with me when my parents visit this summer. I have a feeling the Kickstand humour will be just the thing to get him intrigued with bikes again :)

I need to mention this site to the guys at my LBS. I'm sure they'd get a laugh or two out of it. Keep up the great work, Rick.

Heheheh. I love today's comic.

Added to my comics folder in my bookmarks. :) Great work!

I want one! I love supporting fellow free-lancers! And Yehuda just gets better everyday! :roflmao:

The book is going on my wish list for birthday presents.

great strip today
so true
i can't wait to get the printed book!

I wouldnt be suprised if Rick eventually gets a mass publishing deal on this book. I think Yahuda is spreading like wildfire because Rick has created a comic that cyclists will be able to identify with. There is no other comic like this one at the moment. In comic strips there have been bicycling characters like Frazz and Calvins dad, but I have never seen a whole comic based around it. I love Yahuda's attitude. He's not preachy but he makes his points clear. Way to go Rick! Maybe I will get a copy for Shaker Library!
