Working hard in my "Non-Zombie" free time to finish
up my story for April's MADMAN Giant-Size Super
Ginchy Special! Here are a couple samples of my
most recent Madman art. The pencils just came off
the drawing board moments ago. I thought it might
be fun to have a contest where you can try to guess
what has found its way into Frank "Madman" Einstein's
pants. The first correct guess (VERY unlikely) will
win a HC book signed by Laura and yours truly.
Everyone else will have to wait until April to find out.

Great guesses, everybody! Close (well, not really) but no cigars. That's all folks. Contest over. The book is leaving our stronghold to production and printing this week, so the cat will soon be out of our control, and out of the bag. The answer will be available to all early April in THE MADMAN GIANT-SIZE SUPER-GINCHY SPECIAL!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun contest. But why'd you have to mention "cigars" when we're talking about Frank's pants? What would Freud say? o_O
ReplyDeleteDamn it, Its a cigar isn't it?
