Fellow Connecticut web cartoonist Luke Foster had a nice interview on the site Champion City Comics. Luke’s web comic Moon Freight 3 is linked in the left column and has been running steadily for a while now. I also wanted to show my appreciation as when he was asked which Sci-Fi webcomics does he read on a regular basis, Ralf the Destroyer was in the top four. Thanks for the shout out Luke!
I would like to thank Deb Wolfe for sending me this great fan strip of Ralf the Destroyer. Deb is a fan on Facebook and I had the pleasure of chatting with her there. She is also working on a strip of her own called “The Frenetic Adventures of Fred Barlowe” over at Comic Genesis. I think she did a great job and I do enjoy the gag having been a fan of all the Spielberg TV animation from the 90s.
Thanks Deb!
For all those German speaking readers out there (Germany ranks forth in visits according to Google Analytics) Ralf the Destroyer is being translated into your native tongue. So far the comic network site “Streifenhoernchen” is only in its Beta format and there are only a few “Ralf” strips up but the translator did a great job finding a font and justifying it to fit in the word balloons.
Ralf the Destroyer got a nice mention over at the Comic Booked website for their “Webcomics Wednesdays”. Ralf got a mention in the “aliens category and listed second behind “Zorphbert and Fred” by Dawn Griffin who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Wizard Philadelphia Comic Con this summer. Feel free to stop by the Comic Booked site and comment!
Johanna Draper Carlson has a review site called Comics Worth Reading. I had the oppertunity to talk with her at the Baltimore Comic Con and she was kind enough to include Ralf the Destroyer at the top of her article - Comics Worth Reading: What I found at Baltimore. There are tons of reviews there so be sure to stop by and discover something new!
Today Ralf the Destroyer is being featured on the So Entertain Me Network website. The Spotlight on Comics article is featured on their main page for comics.
The highly flattering article is certainly appreciated and if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself heading back there again. The So Entertain Me site focuses on Sci-Fi, Gaming and Comics… what’s not to like?
Also, their site has been very supportive of Ralf the Destroyer (by sponsoring Ralf with ad space etc) so be sure to show them some love and leave some comments!
I was contacted by Wil Panganiban that there was a plan afoot to do a comics swap as the syndicated guys did a few years ago. So today on Comics Sherpa the Ralf the Destroyer strip was done by Donald Mathias (who does Peanizles) and I did a panel called Long Story Short (by Daniel Beyer). It was interesting working in a different style and everyone who participated seemed to be having a good time, so be sure to go check it out.
Here’s Don Mathias doing Ralf the Destroyer:
Here’s me doing Long Story Short:
Well, it wasn't unidentifiable to me...
I was recently contacted by David Hurley about doing an interview about Ralf the Destroyer for the blog section of his webcomic site, “Don’t Pick the Flowers”. I was (of course) quite happy to do so and it turn out well.
He asked some good questions and the article looks great so be sure to swing on over to the “Don’t Pick the Flowers” blog and leave a comment!
Today Ralf the Destroyer (Reloaded) is on Comics Sherpa at GoComics.com The strip is starting from the beginning and will update three days a week for the first few weeks and then move to update five times a week to eventually catch up to the current schedule.
If any readers have a GoComics account, I encourage you to favorite Ralf the Destroyer. There are a number of comics, that have managed to glean a syndication contract, that had their start on Comics Sherpa.
So adding some positive comments there like: “Why isn’t this strip syndicated?”, “how can I get this in my newspaper?”, can’t hurt either
