Argyle Sweater claims 200 clients in first year

1 minute 12 comments

Scott Hilburn’s comic The Argyle Sweater is coming up on its first anniversary as a syndicated comic strip and now appears in over 200 newspapers in the U.S. The strip started as a lowly webcomic on Comics Sherpa before moving up into GoComics.com and landing a development deal for print syndication. The panel comic was quickly signed for a calendar deal with Borders and a line of greeting cards with Recycled Paper Greetings.

  1. Well, it’s nice to hear some GOOD news in the newspaper cartooning industry.

  2. Congrats, Scott. That’s HUGE.

  3. Congratulations Scott. Your a man of great comic and fashion sense.

  4. Oh lordy…is this going to ignite another round of Sherpa-bashing?

  5. Gary Larson may have retired but his comic lives on!

    I don’t get it.

  6. Why would this ignite another round of Sherpa bashing? If anything, I’d think this success story would do the opposite.

  7. Congrats Scott! Your success is much deserved.

  8. Congrats Scott. I might just have to buy you a beer or twelve. Wait, you’re the one in 200 papers, you’re buying.

  9. Scott!!! Excellent, my friend!

  10. You’ve never experienced people doing the opposite of what they ought to do?

  12. I haven’t stopped by in many months, but everytime I go to my local Border’s and see an Argyle calender, book or the big promo signs, I feel very happy for such a funny cartoonist like Scott!

    I still have one of your earlier Sherpa toons hanging above my drawing table. The one with the camels on the beach. Still funny!!

    Congrats and much success to you, Scott!
