Aww man, I'm really sad to not see Ben's Book of Banned Beasts here. :( A real shame, because I'm sure if it had been the judges decision on who wins, they'd have chosen hpk to be one of the finalists. They seemed so impressed and excited about his comic. The voting system was just stupid.
Congratulations to the other winners though. And Good Luck to you, Jorge. Out of the 3 still left, your comic is my favourite.

It'd be a nice Idea to say who actually got there. I know you can just visit the site, but still... :)
And so:
Banana Barry - Josiah Grahn
Grey Shades - Shawn Granger
GUNPLAY - Jorge Vega
All the entries were top notch, but I voted for Ben's Book of Banned Beasts and Grey Shades most. Gunplay was always one of my faves though.

Where did all the pitch videos go? I'm looking around for them, and all I get are stupid interview videos with the top 3 contestants talking about what pet food their gerbils like? Like, I care?

I have a gerbil?
Thanks all for all your support. I am very excited to be in the final three, but will miss the guys who left. I really liked a lot of the top 50 and hope to see more of them.
It's a bit of a downer to see the contest getting to the end. It's been so much fun so far. But now we're in the final stretch. The last vote. It's going to be tough. But I'm ready to put on my Grey Shades t-shirt and duke it out.

Did they take down all the pitch videos, including those of the top 3? I seriously can't find any links to pitches.
Edit: Sorry I got bitchy in my last post. Internet road rage.

They've been doing a lot of shifting around these last couple of weeks. Things popping in and out of existence as they reshuffle the look and feel of the site area. I doubt they intentionally took down the Top 3's pitches.
In fact, the old links still work. I've used mine a bunch of times in threads:
http://attblueroom.com/hollywood/comic-book-challenge/mediaplayer.php?pid=87690
Shawn, you've probably done the same, right? Do you have a direct link to your pitch? I'm 99% sure it'll still work.

Yeah, guys. We're working on that. Sorry for the confusion. It hasn't been the easiest thing on earth to get the blue room to change things for us. They'll be back soon, though.

Hmmmm... not exactly what I was expecting to make it to the Top 3. I'm also disappointed to not see Ben's Book there. But I'm glad to see my second choice, Gunplay.
That comic was unique and all, but I can't imagine enjoying a comic composed of doll photographs for very long. She could've proven me wrong though... I like surprises.

Congrats to the top 3!
They're actually my three choices so I'm satisfied... even though I'm not one of them. But it's all good. I had a blast in San Diego, and I have Platinum Studios to thank for it. So thanks!
And I'm staring at Jorge's nipple in that picture. Is that wrong?

Hey, thanks for the kind words, guys!
Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Starting today, we'll be running the first four pages of Gunplay #1 right here at DrunkDuck. We wanted voters to get a sense of what we're going for and, trust me, by Page 4 you will!
Hope you'll check it out!
The comic Worthington, not my nipple. :)

It's an unfortunate coincidence, but I believe the base of his wineglass is magnifying a halo of light smack-dab on his nipple, which has the effect of making his nipple grotesquely larger than it really is.

Gross.
Strangely enough, my gerbil has a magnified nipple. Which is also gross.
Thanks to everyone who has supported this contest in any form, as it has been and continues to be an absolute blast to be a part of. Just over a week left to vote!
Such palpable excitement.
There's a lot of cool media coverage-type stuff on Jorge and Shawn and myself around the net that's not on the voting site, too, if anyone is interested enough to pursue it.

Why are you here? Shouldn't you be voting? ;)
There definitely is a lot on the net about all three entries. Still I'm finding more people who haven't seen the pages yet. Got to keep getting the word out.
Only about a week left for voting. Keep checking back for more pages on DD. (Updating until we can't anymore.)

Wait, we can vote for ourselves!? Why AM I here? :)
I love that new banner that has all 3 of our comics on it. Why doesn't your banner have all three of us on there, Shawn? ;)
Record high temperatures nation wide, peops! Might as well stay inside and vote, right?

What do you mean? It's got your name there...for some reason it flashes by so fast I cannot read it. I'll have to fix my banner when I've got more free time so yours and Jorge's names stay still. ;)
Yep...it's too hot to do much other than vote. Though I did put up some new pages (same as you're doing I see!)

Hm, actually seems to be better comics up this year than last. I'm torn between Gunplay and Grey Shades. No offense to the other comic, it's not that it's bad or anything. Just that I find Gunplay and Shades to be absolutely stunning.

Yeah, still new-page-posting away, folks. That Murphy girl is a veritable art machine. Shawn, I got on a reeeeal slow computer and could just make out Jorge's name and my name flashing by...I think.
We at Banana Barry consider ourselves more "ravishing" than "stunning," lefarce. So, we're not offended. :)

Many thanks, Bongo!
And yeah, they keep saying "Only 2 episodes left!" about Flight, and I am wondering if it's EVER, or just for this season. I loved those leather suits, man.
On the bright side, new season of Curb starts Sept. 9...and we just posted a new page of potassium-enriched goodness.

Brand new page of Banana Barry up, as is my blood pressure with all this interminable waiting. Shawn, you're lucky you only have to stay up till midnight on Saturday rather than 3 AM. Stupid eastern standard time.
Oh yeah, and vote for the guy in the banana suit. It's quite liberating. Many thanks!

Last note from me, ducks.
One of the unexpected bonuses of being a part of this year's Comic Book Challenge was having my eyes opened to the environment that exists here at DD-- very laid back folks, pickled in all sorts creative juices. Thanks for letting Gunplay be a part of that. I've gotten the chance to connect with a lot of new friends and received encouragement/feedback from creators whom I truly respect.
Less than a day to go! Time to make the big push happen! :)
