Another Winner? Just This Once!

Another Winner? Just This Once!

Although Ed Bertoli won first place in last week’s big Couple-Up contest on Facebook, there was a smaller version of the contest going on over at GoComics.

A surprisingly large number of GoComics readers told me that they’d rather be flogged in their skivvies on national TV than submit anything on Facebook. And then they started submitting their entries on my GoComics page.

I’ll admit I’m a softie. I crumbled and told them that I’d pick an additional winner—this one from just the submissions made on GoComics.

And here it is—and admirably short and funny gag from someone who goes by the moniker of old1953. Who is he or she? Beats me.

But if he/she contacts me and wants to go public, I’ll let you know.

And the Solution Is…

And the Solution Is…

I would have something witty to say right now, but I think I’m officially asleep and not allowed to make jokes. I need a lot of snooze time to recover from another exciting—but-now-I’m-exhausted—Emerald City Comicon weekend.

Zombie Dearest

For now, this is the final episode of Cosplay Comics (TM) featuring the lovely (and gracious-even-when-she’s-one-of-the-evil-dead) Brieanna Brock.

My thanks to Brie for being such a good sport. It’s been great fun. I hope to do more photo comics sometime with Brie and possibly other models. (If you’d like to see more too, let me know.)
