The last collection we actually put together was "The Almost-More-Than-Complete Hippie and the Black Guy Anthology". "More than complete" because it featured the web strips, some of the weeklies, extra artwork, etc. "Almost" because it was missing some strips, some of which we were aware of at the time, and some of which we had forgotten we had lost.
This collection, we believe, remedies that. To the best of our knowledge, this contains every Hippie and the Black Guy strip ever published, in print or on the web.
All speech balloons in "Hippie and the Black Guy" are in Palatino, a font which David was particularly fond of in the mid-1990s for its stately serif appearance yet ready distinction from the ubiquitous Times family.
Most all other text in this collection is in universal web font.
"Hippie and the Black Guy" was created in Adobe Illustrator. Also used in the creation of this collection and its contents were, notably, QuarkXPress, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word 5.0, Netscape Navigator, Apple MoviePlayer, Apple QuickTime Player and Adaptec Toast.
'Hippie and the Black Guy" and this collection were created exclusively with Apple Macintosh computers, running the gamut from the Classic II to the G4.
