The 10 most popular Lead Paint Strips for 2012, plus Dana and Mike’s personal favorites:
10. Blinko, Fart Coeds and the Best Fetish
Best-drawn fart cloud in the history of webcomics.
9. Steps to Enjoying Your New iPhone
SPOILER: There are three steps.
8. Horse Meat
A long one!
7. New Year’s/Everyone Dies
As relevant this year as it was last!
6. Heartless
Fuck politics.
5. Alzheimer’s
Pretty proud of this comic. I like how it’s a little meatier (in terms of jokes per panel) than some of our other comics this year. I’d like to make more like this I think!
4. Flying
I feel like some of the dialogue is a little sloppy in this one, but am glad people still liked it.
3. Buying Underwear
Note the Pulitzer-worthy panel 5.
2. Illegal Animal Sports
Panel 2 is my favorite.
1. Lead Paint’s Monster Survival Fieldbook: The Whip
WHO KNEW THAT COMICS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES WOULD BE POPULAR ON THE INTERNET???
BONUS: Mike’s personal favorite for 2012:
Cuddlebear 2
Says Mike (Me): “Dana’s art is so perfect in this one, and the humor is that right pitch of dark that makes me laugh every time.”
BONUS #2: Dana’s Personal Favorite for 2012:
Lead Paint’s Monster Survival Fieldbook: How to Survive the Dread Penanggalan
Says Dana: “I was pretty happy with how the art came out, and I also like learning about other cultures’ mythologies. So I thought it was a good mix of funny and educational.”
Thanks for reading this year guys! It means a lot!
<3 Mike




No mention of the cabbage baby strip? My personal favorite in an outstanding year.
Haha that was a good one too, and (weirdly?) has a bunch of super-vocal fans. Glad you liked the last year of strips, and thanks for reading!
Oh I forgot about Lettuce baby. That might be my second favorite of the year.
