Paper thin

Special strip today. Words and balloons by C. and me while the little paper guys were done by our supremely excellent friend Shane McDermott. Pictures staged and laid out by Shane’s equal in supreme excellence, Lindsey Turner.

CONTEST ALERT

DRUDGE SIREN ALERT

Do up a papercraft scene with the two guys posted above and send it to me at curtofranklin@gmail.com and our totally impartial team of judges (us) will pick the three best and send out prizes!

Most ballin’ prize: A LBFA prize package including a free copy of LBFA Vol. 1, personalized with a sketch and scribblings and a comic from each of our collections, also personalized for you with some markers or whatever we feel like doing. Other junk we decide to throw in the box also included.
Sort of ballin’ prize: A sketch all did up properly by Chris and a page from my diary, randomly selected.
Least ballin’ prize, but it’s free so don’t complain: Green Day’s Dookie CD

Also, whoever sends us the worst scene will personally owe us $5 (each) as an anti-prize, so think carefully before you put tiny paper versions of us in Kama Sutra scenes.

You’ve got until midnight two weeks from now (Wed. January 27, 2010) to send in the pictures!

    Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d get to be involved with LBFA AND a Silverchair reference. My night is made.

    So now all I can think about is “What would a Silverchair nemesis papercraft look like?” To the drawring board! That’s British for “To the drawing board!”

    I’m not very good at storytelling, just papercraft destruction.

    Silverchair is the best band ever. I don’t even get this comic.

  14. chrishaley

    James – It’s true, Silverchair is fantastic.

    “Reports coming in that every orphan ever is now dead. Don’t bother sending their families flowers because none of them had any parents anyway.”

    This and the Silverchair reference is an odd but delicious blend of morbid humor.
