mreidsma - Strip #600 and a Contest!

February 28th's strip is the 600th strip I've drawn for High Maintenance Machine. To celebrate, I'm going to have a contest! Draw Your Own High Maintenance Machine Strip and win fabulous prizes. Submit your very own High Maintenance Machine comic by March 20th, starring you and yours or Wendy and me, and you could win one of the following:

• First Prize: A Draw Comics Every Day T-shirt, Original Art of Your Choice, and a bunch of stickers
• Second Prize: A Draw Comics Every Day T-shirt and a bunch of stickers
• Third Prize: A copy of New Stars plus a bunch of Draw Comics Every Day stickers

Everyone that enters will have their entry printed in the March issue of High Maintenance Machine, and will receive a complimentary copy. Please enter, even if you think you cannot draw. You can! (Have you seen the terrible strips I drew at the beginning? Sacredieu!) You can email me a 300dpi copy of your strip if you have a scanner or a digital camera, or you can mail me a photocopy of it and I'll scan it. (Address on my website)

The strips will be judges by a panel of 3 celebrity judges: Wendy will choose her favorite, Elmer, one of our cats, will pee on his favorite, and Montana, our other cat, will throw up on the one she likes the best.

I hope everyone enters, and I want to thank you all for reading my little comic for these past 19 months, and I hope you all stick around for the next 19 months!
