David Hurley Debuts Don’t Pick The Flowers!

Move over Justin Bieber. We’ve got Vincent, the scrappiest, cutest 14-year-old on the web — and in Flowerville, a “little-known suburb” of Paducah where Vincent and his best friend Duck and his little sister Suzanne live.

Vincent stars in a new comic strip called Don’t Pick the Flowers. It’s created by webcomic and iList Paducah friend David Hurley with Joe Watson as the co-writer.

Follow along as Vincent starts high school, sends Duck out with a spycam in his pilot hat (“Most of our neighbors call it ‘invasion of privacy’ or ‘criminal,’ but we call it art”) and “swings” his “groove strings” to Duran Duran.

Don’t Pick the Flowers features a new comic each Monday. David interviews interesting folks each Thursday — including iList Paducah’s own Nikki May!
 
“I do love cartoons, in all forms,” says David, noting Bloom County, Sam and Max and Bone among his favorites. “Cartoons have permeated society. There is so much energy that cartoons portray that I believe you don’t find anywhere else.”

While Don’t Pick the Flower offers “two minutes of free entertainment,” don’t be going and swiping Vincent without David’s written permission. He’s gonna be famous, no doubt about it!

And be sure to fan ‘em on Facebook!

Congratulations David, Joe, Suzanne — and Vincent!
