What are 1000 comic strips worth?
For over 15 years Mark Parisi has been toiling over his one-panel strip “Off the Mark”. He lays claim to over 1000 strips, and thusly has tapped into hundreds of sources and inspirations. One strip may make fun of Volkswagens, comic book characters and Dr. Suess while another takes a dig at Yoko Ono. His influences are easily discovered, as he publishes, for free, every one of his comics on his web site. Even more considerately Parisi has categorized a good number of the panels, allowing visitors to see all of his jabs at Pokemon and health care.
In addition to all the comics, Parisi’s site also links to an online store selling various merchandise and books. For a dead-tree cartoonist, Mark Parisi seems pretty clued-in to the internet and that’s pretty cool.
