Admit it. It’s your lifelong dream to be drawn into a Raccoon Toons comic strip. Of course it is. I mean, if it isn’t your lifelong dream, then your dream is stupid and you should get another dream. Like being drawn into a Raccoon Toons comic strip for example. There. Glad we’re all on the same page.

So, now’s your chance to fulfill that lifelong dream of yours by entering the “Who Wants To Be In a Comic Strip?” contest!! There’s a lot of words in the name of this contest and I’m kinda tired of typing them out, so we’re just going to refer to it as “WWTBIACS?” from now on. Hmm. I kinda hoped that acronym was going to spell something cooler than that, but hey whatever. I guess it is what it is. But I digress…

For the rest of March I will be posting comic strips FOUR DAYS A WEEK!! Why you ask? Because I love you. We should really go out for milkshakes sometime. We could cuddle. Just sayin’.

During this month-long comic strip posting bonanza, you have the opportunity to enter the WWTBIACS? contest! The winner will be drawn into a future Raccoon Toons comic strip, thus fulfilling all your hopes and dreams and allowing you to die happy. You’re welcome.

Entering the contest is super easy and super free. Here’s how:

1. Subscribe/Like/Follow

Subscribe to Raccoon Toons in some capacity. Pick a method. RSS/email, like us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, etc. (RSS or email guarantees you the most updates.) Pick one. Heck pick all. More is always better. Go big or go home.

2.Share

Share your favorite comic strip/post/cartoon/whatever from the site. The rule here is that it needs to be your FAVORITE. Don’t just pick the most recent. Poke around the site and find that comic or post or cartoon that speaks to the very yearnings of your soul like no other. Than share it. Post it on Facebook. Twitterize it. Email it to a friend. Post it on your blog. Write the URL in a letter to your grandma. Share the crap out of it. Because nothing says “this cartoon fulfilled the very yearnings of my soul” like sharing it with everyone you know on social media websites. And if you have more than one favorite, than clearly you need to share them all. Clearly.

3. Tell Me You’ve Entered

Leave a comment somewhere on the website or on the facebook page telling me you’ve entered. Or email me directly and let me know to enter your name into the contest drawing. Bottom line: if you do not tell me what and how you shared, I won’t know that you did it, and your name won’t be entered into the contest. And you want your name entered into the contest. It’s your lifelong dream.

4. Eat a Cookie

Yes, I will also accept the eating of Fig Newtons, even though they are fruit and cake and technically not cookies. But so delicious… Mmmmmm….

That’s it! SO easy!! At the end of the month, one lucky winner will be selected at random and will be drawn into a future Raccoon Toons comic strip! YES!! So don’t wait! Ready go!

The post Want To Be In The Comic Strip? appeared first on Raccoon Toons.

There’s just so much to do! I have all these ingenious little creative projects I want to work on. But people keep wanting my money. What’s up with that?? And so to appease them, I give them my money. Except then I don’t have any money. And money buys food and milk. And I like to eat food and drink milk. Sometimes. Once in a while.

So I have to go out and make more money. Except people aren’t as eager to give me money as they are to take it from me. What’s up with that?? So I have to work really hard and on lots of different things to make money. Milk money. And that takes my time. So much time. And then I don’t have the time to work on the cool awesome creative projects. And then the cycle repeats itself. Over and over. Viciously repeating. Kind of like episodes of “2 and a Half Men.” You beg and plead for the cycle to end but it just keeps going and going. Torturing your very soul. Which is really too bad. Because you really want to see my cool awesome creative projects. Because they’re cool. And awesome. They’re cool awesome.

Hang in there team. We’ll get there.

The winner will be featured in a future Raccoon Toons comic strip thus becoming the envy of all their friends!! To enter the contest, follow the super easy steps below:

I’ve made it really easy for you. The Facebook and Twitter buttons are to the right of this post, and the RSS/email button is right under the comic strip with the words “subscribe.” Do it. Do it now.

2. Now comes the fun part. You must share your FAVORITE post with the world. It can be your favorite comic strip, or a favorite blog post, or even one of the animated cartoons or movies. Doesn’t matter. But it needs to be your favorite. So dig through the archives and find something that means more to you than all of the other internet cartoons combined, and share your undying love and devotion for that particular post with the world. Ok, that sounds a little creepy now that I re-read that. Just pick your favorite, and share it, tweet it, email it, etc. You can share more than one. It’s ok. Honest. Go crazy.
