He recaptures the family values flag from the religious right, and forces Mitt Romney into a conversation that alienates either the wingnut Republican base or all women. Boom. Election won.
You, sir, have all my votes. Yes, technically it is just one, but you have it. Emphatically.
This is a thing that exists. I am a happy bunny for seeing this thing that exists.
Even more sweet photos at the link! My night has been made.
I am having a very stressful day/week. This set if gifs is helping me out a lot. My bunny, Finny, hasn’t had a bath in a while now, but I can tell you that this is all very familiar territory for me.
I only made a few this year cuz they are hand cut and therefor time consuming (and I’m trying to concentrate on comics). The corners of each set of cards may vary in cut and design cuz I got a new fancy cutter doohickey.
I love you!
I bought a pack of these as soon as I saw them. I <3 Jess Fink and her sexy, sexy comic Chester 5000.
Fun Fact: The Weekenders was my favorite cartoon for awhile. I still love and miss it.
OK Go makes me extremely happy. The Muppets make me extremely happy. Put them together and I am still only half as happy as Damian Kulash is in this music video.
I seriously watched this twice in a row and will probably watch it around six more times today. Pure joy.
‘Reed Gunther’ Literally Defines All-Ages Comics in Clever Press Release
Perhaps taking a cue from our own Laura Hudson, who frequently gives creators advice on how to get press attention when she speaks on the Indie Comics Marketing Panel at conventions around the U.S., the creators of acclaimedImage ComicsseriesReed Guntherhave made themselves heard by creating aninnovative press releasethat is too clever to be ignored. Brothers Shane and Chris Houghton make an unassailable appeal to readers and retailers to considerall-ages comicsin their proper context — comics made for all ages,not just children.
Created by brothers Shane Houghton and Chris Houghton,Reed Guntherdepicts the exploits of the lovably inept cowboy adventurer Reed Gunther and his curiously bright and typically frustrated grizzly bear, Sterling. The series is absolutely kid-friendly, but, as the label implies, suitable for all-ages. The story depicted in the cool comic-as-press-release suggests that some retailers and readers have confused “all-ages” for “kiddie stuff,” and Reed himself offers some helpful suggestions on how to correct the situation. Reed Guntheris a favorite of many comics creators, includingUsagi Yojimbo’sStan Sakai, outgoingB.P.R.D.artist Guy Davis andFraggle RockandOur Love is Realwriter Sam Humphries. Three issues are on sale now from Image, and you can check outa preview right here.
We’re getting some phenomenal love for our REED GUNTHER press release comic! Thanks everyone!
I said this on Twitter, and I’ll say it again: all press releases should look this way. Oh, and if you haven’t read Reed Gunther yet, what are you waiting for? Hop to it!
