Stephen: The response has just been incredible. The hit counter for the piece has been through the roof. I've gotten this amazing outpouring of support from so many surprising places. I really couldn't be more pleased. SM: What was your inspiration for "Six Thousand Dollar Dog"? Stephen: It's a fascinating story. A co-worker recently spent $1,000 on a tiny dog that spent the next week shitting all over her apartment, and eating her couch. By the end of the week, she ended up selling the dog at a tremendous loss. Because who would ever want to buy a used dog? Of course, you and I know that no dog would ever be worth that much money, because dogs are free. But it got me thinking, what would a six thousand dollar dog do? Obviously, it wouldn't shit all over the living room. And probably it would talk. And that’s how Six Thou was born. Supermasterpiece: Amazing. At the end of the story, even though the Six Thousand Dollar Dog does talk, his owner doesn't receive $6,000. Does that mean Six Thousand Dollar Dog isn't worth $6,000? Supermasterpiece: Interesting. Well, I have to ask, will we be seeing more of Six Thousand Dollar Dog in the months to come? Stephen: Well, as you know, I never discuss future projects. But... let me put it this way, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a very valuable dog in our future. (Laughs) SM: Anything else on your mind besides Six Thousand Dollar Dog? Stephen: Yes. Life and Love. SM: Thanks so much for your time, and I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Stephen: It was my pleasure. |

Supermasterpiece:
Congratulations on the release of your new comic, 
Stephen:
Well, that's the question I wanted to raise here. How do we place value
on things in our society? How do we determine how much something, or even
some-dog is worth?
