NOW ACCEPTING…

Doing your online comic for the love? Now you can do it for the money!

Strange Ink comics will launch an online comics website this fall, but before that can happen we need to fill out our 7 title roster.

We're looking for 7 art teams (or individual artists) who are already producing an online comic or are getting ready to kick off a project you've been sitting on for years. Old or new, we don't care. We want your artwork and we're willing to pay for it.

Artists (or teams) that are offered a contract (the title will be exclusive to Strange Ink Comics for the duration of the run, but all rights will be retained by the creator) will be expected to produce a scant *4* pages/episodes/strips per month (whatever format your comic runs in) and will be paid a scant $5 for each. That's $20 per month! Which is more than you're making right now working for "love."

"Is $20 really worth it" you ask? Pssh! Yeah it is! Here's just a sample list of things you could buy with $20:

-A gallon of gas
-A matinée of "Ratatoullie"
-Secure your domain name for like 5 YEARS!
-20 lottery tickets (or 10 if you're a high-rolling $2
ticket person)
-More comics
-An investment it in a low interest/high yield venture
capitalist opportunity
-A vacation (from your regular toothpaste)
-Dinner at a fancy restaurant like Applebees

We don't care; it's YOUR $20! Every month! For doing something that you're already doing for "love" which can't be redeemed for ANY of the things listed above.

If you're interested, the submission period begins… holy crap! TODAY!
So put together your digital files (nothing more than 3-5 pages/strips/episodes and nothing more than 1M jpeg total, please). Better yet, I'd prefer if you just send a link (since you're already so web-savvy) to the work that is already in the public domain or to that super-secret file on your server space that no one knows about where you've been hiding your ideas (we won't show it to anyone, promise!).

Title it: "strange submission" and email it to: submissions@strangeinkcomics.net

Right now! Go! Before I spend your money!

"Who Needs The Kwik-E Mart?"

Well, this past weekend officially kicked off the Simpsons/7-Eleven promotion. For anyone who doesn't know, To promote the Simpsons Movie, select 7-Elevens are completely changing over to Kwik-E Marts. Unfortunately, they chose to dump all over New England and not even give us one! Hello… Springfield Mass???? But we are still getting some of the products in our 7-Elevens.

I've pretty much made it my life's work for the next few weeks to collect as many of the products as I can. However, no matter how much I want one, I can't figure out how to display the donut with pink frosting and sprinkles. Sitting atop the list of my must haves is a 6 pack of Buzz Cola. I literally need to have this. I have heard that it is sold out everywhere, and I'm already seeing it up on Ebay. Anyway, I just got back from a 7 store 7-Eleven tour. I didn't make out with much loot, but here's what I've got so far.

"Who Needs The Kwik-E Mart?" Pt. 2 ("I Doooooooo…."

.Air Bryan.

A week ago or so, I wrote about my travels to the local 7-Elevens in my quest to find all products relating to the Simpsons. At that time, I stated that I was not going to stop until I at least had a six pack of Buzz Cola sitting on my shelf at home. Well let me just say SUCCESS!

In the days following my last entry I visited more and more 7-Elevens. Looking, and looking. Letting the quest consume my life. All together I have been to the 15 closest stores to my house. My first bit of success came while heading to a 4th of July cookout. I passed a store along the way, and figured I would try my luck. They failed me in the Buzz Cola department, but they did have this tasty morsel to offer.
