Have fun…

Okay, for two days in a row, someone has been searching for some rather inappropriate material. How inappropriate? Let’s just say it has to do with equines. And in this search for material, apparently, my site has come up twice. TWICE! How did that happen?
Plus, There’s a bot from Mountainview CA trying to camp out here. If you’re not a bot, introduce yourself. But if it is a bot, anyway I can kick him from the site?
I recently ran a contest for a tagline for Swiftriver on Facebook. Now I’m letting you choose the winner. Tell me which tagline fits Swiftriver the best.
a) Seeing isn’t always believing.
b) There are two sides to everyone.
c) Magic is more than meets the eye.
d) Living the Faerie Tale life is more dangerous than you know…
e) “I’ve got a better idea. Let me whisper it to you.”
Vote only only once, okay?
Yes, today I am a bit older than my main characters, but not so old as Baba Yaga or the Dragon. If you want to do anything for my birthday, I have three suggestions:
1)
This is the last day to contribute to the Comic Creators Alliance: Fighting Together to End Human Trafficking. Last year 87 comic creators united to create one desktop wallpaper image featuring all their different characters, and together raised $10,000 for the purpose of fighting Human Trafficking! I’ve been asked to take part this year, so I’ll be adding Miranda to the wallpaper along side everyone else.
2) Give Blood. With the winter hitting the US hard this year, there have been a lot of winter related accidents in places that don’t normally have snow. Which means the American Red Cross is running very low on blood and platelets. So make an appointment today, give blood, and save a life or two.
3) If either of these options don’t appeal to you, and you feel the need to get me something more personal, I will always squeal over fan art, fiction, or crafts.
There you go! See you next time.
Let me just start out with saying PW is a wonderful Idea. Swiftriver gets seen by more people than it would have without Project Wonderful. It’s also a great way for me to see what other comics are out there and advertising. But I’m seeing a trend lately in people putting up cleavage shots in order to entice people to their site.
Sex sells. We all know this. And with certain advertisers, I can understand this, if it was part of the strip to begin with. Take for example, Least I Could Do by Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza. Occasionally, their advertizing campaign will grace my skyscraper with some cleavage shots of Issa. And I expect that from them, because sex and comedy are what LICD is about.
But then I’ll get the occasional ad from varios MMO’s. And I don’t see anything about the game other than “here’s what your warrior woman isn’t wearing.” Or boob shots of some token female character in comics that wouldn’t be flashing them in the first place. It’d be like putting random crotch shots of my supporting characters for no particular reason.
I have no problem with boobage. I happen to have two myself. But really, don’t be going all New Orleans Mardi Gras on me unless it’s actually part of what you’re doing. At least throw me some beads or something.
