Welcome to the last WORLD OF HURT strip of the year. I figured I’d end 2009 with a bang and finally have Pastor get his hands–or in this case, fist–on one of the Thrill-Seekers. That last panel is probably the most old-school Marvel Comics thing I’ve ever done. The blood splatters even resemble “Kirby Krackle.”
I hope to see you on Friday with a blog post, but if you’re too hung over or boozy from your New Year’s festivities, I will certainly understand. Therefore, I want to take the time to thank you for making 2009 such a tremendous success for WORLD OF HURT. Your visits and comments really mean the world (no pun intended) to me, and have really inspired me to push myself that much harder to reward all your support. I hope you’ll drop in again in the new decade, because things are really starting to cook now.

Oh, hell yes.
I love Pastor just hiding behind the door and loading that shot up. His fists might not have turned out to be his *only* weapons — but they ain’t too shabby.
Happy new year, Jay!
Love the last panel. Reminds me of Batman and Guy Gardner.
Busted. That was awesome. Happy New Year!
Ooh, nicely done with that last panel! Happy end o’ 2009!
And let the violence begin!
P.S. – I don’t reckon Danny will make it to that Foghat concert Doug G. was talking about.
I can’t wait to see what the next episode gives us.
Great work, Jay — I hope 2010 has as much good news in store for WoH as 2009 did.
Cool last shot. It reminds me of Brian Bolland. I think he used a similar shot in Judge Dredd and maybe The Killing Joke.
Doug G.-
My boss reads the strip and he was suggesting even MORE brutal methods of delivering pain. One word – candelabra.
Parker-
I googled that panel earlier today, and was surprised by the similarities. I guess I absorbed that classic “One punch” panel into my geek psyche.
Colin-
Happy New Year, to you, too.
Coyote Trax-
Many thanks, sir!
Guess Who-
I think Pastor’s gonna scalp his tickets.
Bowlcut-
I’m really looking forward to it.
Kris LK-
With support of fans like you guys, the sky’s the limit. Thanks!
Summey-
A Maguire and Bolland reference. I must be on to something!
Happy New Year, all!

And Pastor is a southpaw. Imagine how much more devastating that would have been with his left.
Happy New Year, my brother!
Awesome work Mr. Potts! I listened to the Sidebar interview and of course had to check you out. They have well known guest of course but I love when they find talented artist and creators like yourself. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful and original strip. Have a Happy New Year and keep up the good work Sir.
Triple-
Thanks for visiting the site, Triple. I’m so glad that people keep finding me due to Dwight and Swain, and I’m especially thankful that they seem to be finding the trip worthwhile. Thanks again, and I hope you become a regular visitor and commenter.
Happy New Year!
