Letter from Save The Hippies
We at Save the Hippies are Grateful for an array of Experiences in 2016 . The Comic came alive thanks to the combination of Jeff ’ s Held ’ s Graphic Magic , and Todd Sobczak ' s artistic vision and creations ! Let ’ s not forget the laughs . In addition we became family to some great people (“ Love Wins ”), and our lives have been enriched in a multitude of ways , by supporting people in need , we have found that in turn we have been blessed ! In the March Issue of Steel Notes Magazine the Comic strip was Introduced . The Hippie Character was originally created for my t-shirts at the Grateful Dead shows Back in The 80 ’ s , and Save the Hippies was imagined in the mountains of North Carolina at my late great Hippie friend Tony Huizenga ’ s house . The Main Character Zane has a quirky and loveable personality , and is modelled after Tony , myself and of all the cool Brothers i ’ ve met in my life . Cali the dog , and the two cats ;” Maugs ”, and “ Noodles ” were inspired from my past and current pets .” Lexxie ”, Zanes Hippie Chick companion is just simply that , an ideal hippie girl Depiction . The 1st issue shows ” Zane ” feeling down about the mundane direction
his life was going . Maugs and Noodles led him to a cabin in the woods . Upon drinking a strange liquid found in a mason jar there , he falls asleep and dreams of a heavenly being who grants him special powers , by way of a magic pen and book . Not knowing how to control the magic , our Hippies are thrust into their adventure ! Little did our lovable
vagabonds realize an evil death metal villain ; “ Tekwar ” , along with his gangster rapper assassin side kicks , seek to destroy our hero ’ s and gain their powers . Many other characters are being added from all genres of art , music and culture . Our intent is to help people realize that diversity is a strength , and that we all can harness and use it together toward the powers of Peace and Love . In 2017 we hope you follow our story . You can decide which side of this coined shape , flat planet you wish to be on . It ’ s the classic battle of good against evil , but the line you step across may not be that of which you plan ? LOL ! Don ’ t worry be Hippie !
