Good morning!
Today is Rick’s Director of Social Media Todd McElmurry’s birthday and we would like to extend him a big birthday thank you from all of us here at Rick the Stick. If you’re not aware, Todd’s been tirelessly tweeting and posting the comic on Reddit and Stumble Upon. He’s also commented pretty much every day for at least two years now. That’s a lot of love for Rick! And it may seem a bit overboard, but as a token of appreciation, we’ll be commemorating Todd as an official recurring character in the strip. Deputy McTrust will be Super Stickman’s sidekick. He has the letters CXL on his chest – the meaning of which is yet to be revealed!!
Anyway – thanks for all the support and Happy Birthday!!
Appropriately, today’s strip introduces the new coach (Todd recently became a new soccer coach, but somehow I think their styles are different) and he’s determined to get the Taters their first win in over 5 years – and he’ll use extreme methods to do it…
Thanks for dropping by!
Ken





Happy Birthday, Todd!
Yes, I’m sure those coaching styles are a little different.
You say “potato”, I say “taters”.
Thanks for the Birthday wish JasonF. It’s really good to see your comments on there, glad you’re enjoying the webcomic.
Thanks for the Birthday shout out Ken. I look forward to seeing Deputy McTrust in action. It’s been a wonderful experience being a part of the Rick the Stick family, spreading the word of the Stick and sharing Stick Lovin’ with the masses.
Wow Rick, nows your chance to impress the chicks. Being part of a team is a great experience, I’ll bet even your fellow players will try to kill you if it helps make you run. So in the famed words of Jenny….Run Ricky, Run…..
Yeah I think my coaching skills are gonna be a little bit different, I’ll be coaching the Under 6 kiddo’s so fear of death may not be a great motivator in that case. I’ll just promise them that their parents will buy them ice cream afterwards for every goal they get.
He made the team. Now he is officially a tator.
