At the recommendation of freelance artist Ron Fontes, an editor at the Dolphin imprint of the publishing house Doubleday expressed interest in Baker’s sample strips of the character Cowboy Wally, “and asked if I had any more. I lied and said I did.” This led to the 128-page graphic novel Cowboy Wally. “The character of Noel was pretty much based on me,” Baker said in 1999. “I lie all the time. The first part of the books is the collected strips, and the other three chapters were written for the book. “It didn’t sell many copies,” Baker said, “but at least it convinced DC [Comics] I should be allowed to draw, not just ink.”
