New Comic Alert: 'Harley' By Dan Thompson
by Caleb GoellnerGet ready to hit the open road. And the local roadside diner. And maybe a litter box?
Rip Haywire creator Dan Thompson is expanding his cartooning efforts with Harley, an all-new regularly-updated strip following the exploits of a good-natured biker and his sarcastic alley cat (named Cat) as they live the dream.
And what a dream! You see, titular star Harley is living to jump Pointy-Rock Canyon in the name of becoming a folk hero. He'll need some luck, though, as avoiding the local sheriff, chugging coffee at his forgetful mother's eatery, trying to match wits with his stuck-up rival, and confiding in his cat will take up most of his day. Even a biker has to exercise quality time-management skills to get ahead in today's world.
You can motor over to Harley today to get started calibrating your chuckling to the volume of a roaring engine.

A comic about Harley riders seems superfluous. These people are comical enough in real life.

This comic has the sense of humor you used to see in the old hard core biker magazines before everyone wanted a Harley. Reminds me of the old CycleToons too. Pretty darn funny stuff.

exactly how much can you say about a comic with only 1 strip?

Wow! People sure have their opinions about motorcyclists!
Herb Thiel Premium Member about 6 years ago
I have an opinion of Dan Thompson and that is that I love Rip Haywire so I am going to definitely add this strip.
Futabakun Premium Member about 6 years ago
Twitter followers of Dan have already seen about 50 strips of Harley, so they should have made up their minds some time back.

As one of the “dirtbag” bikers I am adding it to my page. It does kinda remind me of the older biker comics. And Dan is good at what he does.

This looks good.We had a Harley for a while, had cats, and loved them all.

The weakness with this reply-to-a-comment format is that the username is invisible behind all the replies with a number (1 reply, 2 replies). For example, when RETIREDGEEZER pointed out that PDKING77 had an attitude problem, I had to randomly open each reply with a number to see where PDKING77 had typed something. If there were only a few replies to choose from this wouldn’t be that big a deal, but if there are multiple comments with replies, it does get tedious. Then, of course, I found out that PDKING77 wasn’t the user with an attitude problem; it was actually 2OLD4THIZSCHIT. (Aside from his crude dirtbag joke, 2OLD4THIZSCHIT’s username would have been rejected outright on a custom license plate application, but, apparently, it slips by on GoComics. GoFigure.)

A very special Harley – the throttle is on the left side.

Actually, as a hardcore daily, only form of transportation I own, motorcycle rider, and it’s not a Harley, I have one thing to say: “Don’t worry, Harley riders. Someday you will get to ride a Motorcycle.”

Looks good. Will give Harley a spin in my daily rotation. So to speak.
