Promotion Effort
Comments Off | Posted: May 23rd, 2006 | Filed under: Uncategorized
Contests! Who doesn’t love a good one? Sure, I just wrote my two-thousandth post on this here internet website and gave only the merest bit of a contented sigh upon hitting the Publish button, but now that I am a bonified web promotional comics pioneer, I felt it was time for me to try and drum up some sort of interest in said strip, which now gets very little in the way of notice from you, the beloved readers.
That’s why I started this thing with “Contests!”, you know. To announce that I’m going to have one with the aid of my artistic better half, Benjamin Birdie. As I love a good haiku at least as much, if not much more than the common person, I’m going to solicit you all for some. The prize, as it were, is an appearance on a forthcoming Nitroglycerin strip. While the subject of your appearance as a character is subject to, shall we say, the artistic whims of Birdie and myself, know that this will be handled in the best possible taste, as the mandate from On High is that we follow at worst a PG-13 sort of guideline.
(In other words, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be our Sue Dibny.)
How do you enter the contest?
- Email nitroglyceringeniuses@gmail.com with a “traditional” haiku (5-7-5) that sells a BOOM! product, or even the whole line. An example might be
Ross Richie, genius!
His company strides the earth!
