CONTEST REMINDER & BOOKLETS

Quick site update on a few items!


FLESH-COLORED HORROR GAG MANGA CONTEST!

We've received a couple entries so far, and it sounds like a few more people are working on their strips. Since today's my birthday and I'm feeling generous, we're gonna extend the deadline for the contest to 11:59 PM on Sunday night (6/17/07, PST, you know the drill). Again, the prize for the best original 4-panel gag strip is an awesome original copy of Junji Ito's Flesh-Colored Horror collection.


2ND PRINTING OF FREE BOOKLET NOW READY

In clearing-my-plate-of-stuff-hanging-over-my-head news, I finally got our second batch of The World of Same Hat booklets back from the printer, and am ready to mail them out. To be clear, I only printed up 25 copies to send to folks that previously had expressed interest, and these are totally free for you dudes.

If you're on the list below, just email me at samehatATgmail.com with your address (oh, and pleeze identify yourself if you used one of those mysterious aliases) and I'll mail your booklet ASAP. For anyone else, feel free to leave a comment below and I'll let you know if we happen to have extras-- It was expensive to get these made, so we won't be printing or offering any additional copies in the future :B

I guess I didn't reply soon enough on the last post! Will trade you something that Matt and I are working on if you have any extras left :)

@vivian: Sorry I didn't have you on the list-- I missed your previous comment and should have added you to the short list. Yours is in the mail already!

I'd love an extra booklet, and would be happy to pay for it.

Please. Anyone can scan it and post on rapidshare or similar?
I´m from Spain and love this blog!
Thanks!

UPDATE: I'm still mailing out copies back from the first time we took names (around APE), but we won't be offering any for sale. The booklet isn't anything that needs to get RAR'd, since it's literally just a collection of all the scanlation stuff we've posted for free on the blog already (albeit, with snazzy layout and staples, etc).

I've spent about ~$200 bucks on the 45ish total copies we've printed, given away and mailed out, so I don't plan to keep making more after this batch runs out. That said, I will definitely see if I have extra copies left over and try to get them to the people who've expressed interest up until now.

Thanks for understanding! Will update once on these at the end of the week!

I received mine two days ago and it was AMAZING :) I passed it on to Matt to read at work today.

You guys are awesome and I hope to get something out to you, Evan and Alice by the end of the summer (...if Matt and I can just get off our asses...)

XO !
