AXCREATIONS

on Nov. 27, 2007

Ok guys & gals, I thought I'd mix things up a bit before we find out Nicki's response to Rod's blunt advances by having a contest of historic BLACKOUT DRUNK proportions!!!

We are currently working on a sequel to the story you are currently reading. (which yes, we will return to posting more pages shortly) The script to the sequel is written, the pages are laid out, it is funny as shit, and we are just waiting for James to stop chasing tail for a moment & start getting motivated to work his magic.

He DID recently send me a cover concept that he has been working on, and while it is in its sketch development stage, it's still pretty damn cool.

While checking it out, it hit me that we have yet to decide on a title to this new story. We have thrown around a few ideas from time to time while putting it together, but nothing has really stuck yet.

I figured that we might as well give the public a chance to come up with some titles that maybe will spark our interest. Were offering your chance to put a small stamp on the future BLACKOUT DRUNK brand we're trying to create.

So here is what I propose. I recently got a fresh batch of samples of the 64 page-full color-graphic novel: BLACKOUT DRUNK. They cost about a dozen bucks each(print-on-demand costs for color books are rediculious - pray we find a publisher to get these costs down when it hits stores), and look amazing. The book looks so good it makes me wet. (was that a little too much information?)

Anyway, I will give one of these rare samples (which are currently in a print run of less then 50 copies & sure to be a collector item) to whatever title we choose to grace the story.

Think of something cool, post your suggestions here, and lets see what you kats come up with. There is no restriction on how many you submit, but just make sure it relates to the subject matter. (or you may be mocked & ridiculed)

"So what's the story about?" - As you may have guessed from the above sketch, Rod winds up babysitting. I won't tell you whose baby it is, or how he got him, but as you can imagine, when Rod is involved, it's bound to result in outrageous & absurd shenanigans.

So, lets get this thing going. Think of something funny, clever, smart, or wacky. Post it here, and if James & I think some have any potential, we'll post those we like (if any!) in a week or so, and you guys can vote for the winner. Unless there is only one we like, then that person wins automatically.

The winner gets one of the sample copies of the whole book & will now get to read the exciting conclusion & twist ending before any of the rest of you! We'll even autograph it if you want!

This contest is open to the public, but all decisions are made final by ME. No crying if we don't choose ya. Nothing personal, yours just might have sucked!

Also, the only thing the winner will ever get from us now & until eternity is the sample book. That's it. Nothing else. If we use a title posted here(or one similar) and then the book goes on to sell millions of copies, a ton of movie tickets, or any other money-producing product, even then, the only thing you'll get is the book. (well, MAYBE a shout out in it if were feeling generous, but the font size will depend on how egotistical we're feeling that day) No monetary compensation will EVER be given. (unless we end up earning Bill Gates type money, and then I'm sure I might be able to pony up a dinner to Denny's or something - but we'll cross that bridge when we get there)

Sorry to be so blunt, but there are too many wackos in this world trying to make a quick buck with a lawsuit, not to cover your ass. (not that we really need to because if anyone ever did try to sue, we would send BIG FUN to pay them a visit!)

Take it easy my friends, and I hope to read a ton of original & laugh out loud funny suggestions!
