I would have dyed my hair red, even, but I'm glad I didn't bother 'cause I still wouldn't've won.

But it was black and white . . .

I seem to remember red hair in a colored strip.

Edit:  Oh, the photo.  ME = IDIOT.

Well, if I had dyed my hair red, I would've left the photo in color. I decided to convert it to black and white because
1. The strip is PRIMARILY in black and white
2. I, well, DIDN'T bother to dye my hair red, so me in color looks far less like Molly. As I'm a blonde.

I didn't mean that you look like a cat.  Your face looks like Molly's face.

Welcome, littlefox. You did an extremely good job in the costume contest -- better than all of those "thong and cat ears" Rays, definitely.

I wanted to do one of the nude scenes with Molly and Beef and find a place that looked like a shed and set the whole thing up with the mattress on the floor and stuff ... but I couldn't find a guy with the time to do that.

That's almost certainly untrue.

Also, i'm the one who said you would have won with more skin and I stand by that assessment.

Yeah, if you showed a little more skin you probably would've won.  The winner of that contest did not have a very good costume - certainly not enough to win a contest whose title is preceded by the word "costume."

Also, welcome to the board.  Don't lurk just because mostly a few sick fucks post here.

This post has made me sad as I remember how many really funny and good costumes there were, and how a really not funny or good one was somehow named winner.

Well, I don't really think my costume was that good, but the Lie Bot guy was excellent. Also, The L.I.N.C.O.L.N. guy. Oh well. We all know who deserved to win, and that's what's important.
Maybe Onstad should do the contest based on votes, except he never would because I don't even think he likes fans very much. Not in a bad way. Just in a reclusive oh-no-people way.

Well, he did a return a PM from me one time which had nothing to do with merchandise or the strip so I don't think he hates fans. I think he's mainly kind of self-conscious about the whole thing- I mean, it is probably absurd to go to your HS reunion or meet old freinds or worse, old relatives and explain that you draw cartoons in the internet for a living. Regardless of how good you are at it, that's gotta be occasionally tough. Then if they say "what is it" or "what is it about?" You say.....well, what do you say to your Aunt Mildred or the nice Nun who was your 5th grade art teacher?

Plus you got weirdos stalking you or your DOG on the internet. And/or in real lfe. So, yeah, what with a family and all I can see why he plays his cards pretty close to his vest. I don't think he's a sociopath, I think he's just ttying to live a normal lfe while simulatanoeusly writing and drawing funny things centering around a cat who wears a thoing, walks upright, and converses with alive stuffed animals.

Well he's always answered my email so he obviously thinks there is nothing wrong with stalking a dog on the internet. So there.

But seriously, you don't have to hate your fans to not want to run your contest by a vote.  He just wants to choose his own scantily clad ladies.  And hey, who wouldn't?

What got to me about the contest winner is how weirdly high-concept it was. Like... okay, so you made a dress out of newspapers and played a singing saw while sitting on the fender of a Volvo. Okay. Shine on, you crazy diamond, but that's not an Achewood costume. That's not even recreating an Achewood scenario. That's, at best, using Achewood leitmotifs, and I vastly preferred the people who did authentic costumes or replicated situations simply (like L.I.N.C.O.L.N., with his Blue Nun, or the guy with the pasted-up speech bubble).

Agreed. I totally thought at least two others were better. And the notorious L.I.N.C.O.L.N. was awesome.
