Having only recently discovered Stray Bullets, and catching up on the series until it ended on that evil, evil cliffhanger, I wonder what’s stopping David Lapham from concluding the current arc by posting a few completed pages on a webpage or something? As he’s mentioned many times, the script has already been completed, and all that’s left is for him to draw it.
Putting this high-profile indy comic on the web would certainly give this comic some well-deserved publicity and also resolve some of the tension that’s been made from faithful followers wanting to see a definite conclusion, even it’s only for the current arc. It’d certainly give some people some peace of mind. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of frustration of having to wait over six years for the next part. My sister compared it to waiting for the next volume of Nana.
If people started liking his continuation, he could have some kind of PayPal provider for his audience to give “whatever funds they deem necessary”. Of course, there’s still the inheirent danger that he’ll grow sick of his project again as he’s done so in the past, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.
