   Hey Thomas,

   Hope you had a wonderful summer vacation abroad. I just clicked on the comic above and it brought me to this website
   http://wapsisquare.com/d/20060814.html, get rid of the /d/20060814 in the URL (http://wapsisquare.com). There is an “About” and “Faq” link/button which explains the comic series. First time I’ve seen it. Any news on re-releases of Prefab Sprout, Steve McQueen and Jordan the Comeback ?

   Be well, Digital Drifter

   My guess – a comic drawn by a fan.

   She looks pretty happy singing along.

   Interestingly enough, there’s a wiki entry about it.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wapsi_Square

   Doesn’t explain what the word “wapsi” means, though.

   Oh, snap. I didn’t read far enough:

   “Wapsi Square gets its name from the Wapsipinicon River which runs through northeast Iowa. Locals refer to the river as ‘The Wapsi.’”

   Funnily enough I know someone at school called Paul Taylor. Somehow, I doubt it’s the same one.

   A comic that only we “Flat Earthers” would understand… I like it.

   Gosh, I long for a new studio album! Please, Thomas, bring us back to the era where real music was made. And next time you’re in NYC, maybe we can all go bowling on a Friday morning.

   I’ve seen Wapsi Square here and there, always in online form. I believe it’s drawn by a guy named Pablo. The strip features a very curvaceous heroine and it attracts a lot of female fans because it has a viewpoint that’s sympathetic to her trials and tribulations.

   As a regular reader of Wapsi Square, I can give you a brief summary. WS is a web comic that focuses on the inhabitants fictional neighborhood of the same name in Minneapolis. The comic in question is simply a bit of filler in between bits of plot. The two characters in this particular comic are Monica, the incredibly short and incredibly busty main character; and Tepoz, the Aztec god of alcohol. A very amusing read.

    Monica is also an audiophile and has a love of 80s music. Other strips featured her singing to Scandal’s, “Goodbye to You,” and her and Tepoz dueting on Cyndi Lauper’s, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

    What they said… You really must check it out. It is an addiction.

    [...] Now, having never seen this strip before, Dolby’s first reaction was “What IS Wapsi Square?” I mean, for all he knew, the little figure in the dress might BE somebody’s version of Miss Sakamoto. (And he seemed still a little over-copyright-sensitive when he wrote “I never feel guilty appropriating material when that material was appropriated from mine!” Hey, it was just seven words…) [...]
