The Big 300
pinkertonpark on Oct. 19, 2008
Like you didn't see this one coming… The little syndicate joke is a little more true than I'd like it. Truth is, I haven't submitted to syndicates in over a year because I honestly can't handle the rejection. Pretty sick.
I can't believe we're already at number 300. Pinkerton has come a long way. I would personally like to thank ever person that has made Pinkerton one of their daily stops. You guys are the one thing that keeps me going…that and all screaming chicks.

Hey, you won't accomplish anything if you don't try. But I hate rejection. It makes me itch. With sadness.

Congrats on the big 3 hundy! I love this strip because it's consistantly funny, it's the stupid syndicates loss, I've soooo been there. While I say all this "Cathy" is saying AAACK! because she's too fat for her bathing suit... such crap!

This comic has been consistently more funny than most syndicated comics - but if you don't feel that syndication is for you at this moment, then all the better for you! Have your freedom - wel'll enjoy it all the more! Remember - if the rejection letters should blot out the sun, then we shall laugh in the shade! *runs from brick volleys*

Thanks, gang. Truth be told, I'm not all that concerned with syndication at this stage of the game. I like being able to say whatever I want. With the always ongoing conversations of webcomics vs. print syndication, I thought it would be funny to make them out to be the evil empire of Persia. For now, I'm happy with online syndication.

Congrats on the reached goal!!!! 300 that is no small feat! This comic made me laugh my f*&^'n @s$ off!!! I have sent my stuff out to papers both on-line and hard print, and I have not nothing back!!! so, either all my mail gets lost, or they are lazy b@stards...but now that I get feed back, and views, I can handle the "Nonverbal" rejections so much better!! Keep on trying, you have a gold mine here! The syndication companies sign less than 1% of off beat (not saying that Pinkerton is off beat) comics, for the wholesome safe bet comics... but your time will come!!!

LOL! Too funny! A Sparta spoof AND a syncication joke! Tucker with a beard = priceless! Well done! As for rejections... I haven't submitted any of my written stuff in a WHILE, too. I don't even get rejection letters, just... nothing. Makes ya doubt in yourself, doesn't it? It should make you! Pinkerton is consistently one of the funniest things out there :) I haven't been there from the start - but I usually don't start my morning without my daily dosage of Pinkerton.
