Doing some "Viral Marketing"

Just so that you guys know – I am pretty darn near (to) sure that next wednesday (which is April 4th) – I going to be somewhere telling some people some stories about some stuff.

Not (meaning) to be vague or anything – but it I am really trying to get into this whole “viral marketing” thing that the kids seem to love so much these days. The kind of thing where I drop a few hints here and there – like along a little ginger bread path – leading ever forward and onward towards the eventual big payoff.

So what I have worked out for this super secret way of getting info across are a series of hints and clues cleverly peppered through the post about me being the guest monologist at the Doug Dank Project next Wednesday, April 4th, at the Push-Push Theater . . .

Your first clue is “Bluebird – Whale – Singing – Whipperole.” Now go forth and follow the little ginger bread path to the end.

"Doo – Doo – Doo – Doo" (Doodle Poodle!)

If you have had a tiny feeling deep down inside that the posts have been a bit skimpy for a quick minute around these parts . . . then I only have one person that I can blame. He hyperventilates, jumps around a lot and has tufts of white fur.

Yep – yep – yep – you guessed it – there is an all new cartoon featuring everyone’s noisiest poodle pal . . . Doodle Poodle. Evidently there is some sort of a basket involved – but that is all that I am allowed to say. Voice Man forced me to sign a nondisclosure contract – and he doesn’t mess around.

So without further to do . . . as Voice Man would say . . . “Let’s see what Doodle Poodle is doing ri-ight now!”

That Doodle Poodle is the crazy!

A Nice Website

Here is a nice “Flash Website” that I found (or was it found for me – hmmm) on another website (by the name of Gothamist) which was pointed out to me by a little chicken.

So now you know the string of how things have happened to come together for today.

As to the site – it is called “december 7th” and it is all kinds of nice and simple. I was trying to decide which section I like better – is it the “Polar Bears” or the “Fireladders” – but I haven’t (and am not sure if I will) make any kind of decision . . . it seems like it is either a bit of a tough call or potentially (and more likely) like a decision would be silly – since I just like them both.

My Pal(s) Totally have a magazine!

Did I tell you guys that I have a little comic strip in a magazine?! The magazine is called Daily Constitutional – as you may have guessed from that there picture picture at the top up there . . . and the comic is called “The Island.”
[As you maybe could have imagined] It is all about some tiny/silly animals. They live on an island (is this all coming together now)?! And they do some things and talk about some stuff. The two main characters are a pig (named “pig”) and a giraffe (who almost definitely has a name all of his own). Pig has a crush on a penguin (who is named “receptionist”) who happens to work at the hot gallery around town. Everything was going around swimmingly (in the first two comics) until the third – where some serious stuff started to go down. Some seriously serious stuff – for serious.
Here is an article at the about the magazine Utne Reader – so that is nifty . . . really everything about pretty much everything is pretty nifty.

Hooray for John Henry Blatter and Derek Cote (the two guys in chiggity – chiggity – charge) for putting out their magazine and also for allowing me to pursue my never ending desire to do more work based on the lives of tiny/silly animals . . . it is what I live for.
