harkovast tells me that his (and ifelldownthestairs's) review comic The Webcomic Review Comic On The Web has reached 25 pages! (26 actually.)
Karrel reached 75 *slams fist on table* I demand my stipulated news post *puts fist in a bucket of ice*
WarriorBorn by cyberdog has posted its 50th page!
Pwnd Randomness is one year old and so am I! I really wanna think the Drunk Duck Community and with this newspost I want to get some fame for it. Also, soon it will reach 100 pages, a pretty neat accomplishment for me. :)
After a 2 month hiatus, gullas's Bobby The Fetus is back and has hit 275 pages!
Cowtoonis turning the big 175 on Wednesday. The Cow is really starting to feel her age too, her udders just sag and flop around like lifeless rolls of fat.
OK, and here's the news you've been waiting for (I've created a thread in the General Discussion forum about it too: store thread)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PLATINUM STUDIOS PARTNERS WITH EZPRINTS
Partnership Allows Users to Create Their Own Merchandise Via Webcomics Portal DrunkDuck.com
Los Angeles, CA â January X, 2010 â Platinum Studios, Inc. (OTCBB: PDOS), an entertainment company that controls an international library of more than 5,600 comic book characters which it adapts, produces and licenses for all forms of media, and ezprints, Inc., a provider of personalized product and related technology solutions, have partnered to create a revolutionary merchandise creation and fulfillment program for Platinumâs leading webcomics portal, DrunkDuck.com.
This new program will allow users of DrunkDuck.com to choose art from the site, design their own products, and order merchandise from a storefront integrated directly into the popular webcomics portal. Comic creators on the site will be able to earn money from merchandising their creations on the same website that they are currently publishing their work. Artists and creators who opt in will be earning money from every sale related to their work.
âNow, for the first time, the thousands of comics on DrunkDuck will be available for merchandising without need for creators to go to third-party merchandising sites, set up separate accounts, and hope that their readers go there,â says Platinum Studios Chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. âIt will all be in one convenient place, accessible from their comic page right on DrunkDuck.com.â
According to PMA Marketing Research, custom products and services, like those offered through this new program on DrunkDuck.com, represent the fastest growing category in the $89.6 billion photo imaging industry. In fact, at a time when consumer spending remains low and economic forecasts remain bleak, ezprints recently reported that units shipped during its peak week were up 109 percent.
Weâre very excited about our partnership with Platinum Studios,â said Wes Herman, CEO of ezprints, Inc. âScott and his team will be leveraging our easy-to-use online product creation tool, ezp builder, in a way that no one else has to date, providing their base of passionate artists and fans with an unparalleled amount of control over the look and feel of the merchandise. â
Rosenberg added, âPlatinum has been exploring ways to provide creators unprecedented profit participation and ezprintsâezp builder is exactly what we needed to make that happen. By creating a situation where both creators and Platinum profit from each transaction, Platinum is supporting a broad base of independent artists and increasing its own bottom line by helping to greater monetize the over 160 million pages views it received on Drunk Duck."
The program is currently in Beta Testing and is expected to launch in early February of this year.
