Win
It's just like usual — you draw comics of a certain size and we print our favorites — except this time we're asking for $5 per entry so we can give cash prizes to the ones that make the paper, including $100 for the one we like best. (All the money we receive will go to the winners. How much cash that is depends on how many submissions we get.)
UPDATE: Local comics hero Art Baxter will judge!!!
The details:
- $5 per submission.
- All submissions are due by Nov. 15 21! EXTENDED!
- There are three sizes to choose from (see below).
- Send hi-rez tiffs or jpegs to comicsissue@citypaper.net.
- Or send physical submissions to:
- CITY PAPER COMICS ISSUE c/o Patrick Rapa
123 Chestnut St., 3F
Philadelphia PA 19106 - Send money to that address or to City Paper's PayPal account: paypal@citypaper.net.
- Put your name on your submission somewhere.
And these are the sizes (in inches):
4.1W x 4.5H * 8.7W x 2.8H * 8.7W x 4.5H
Here's last year's Comics Issue, for guidance and encouragement. Grundies!
Wanna go see these two beloved singer-songwriters tomorrow night at the Mann's last show of the season? Well we have a pair to give away. Just write to pat@citypaper.net with the subject GIMME RAY LAMONTAGNE TICKETS! First to answer wins.
The show is Fri., Sept. 30, 7 :30 p.m., Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-893-1999, manncenter.org.
I have a pair of tickets to give away for both days of Popped!, Friday and Saturday. Wanna go? Write a haiku about Kreayshawn and send it to pat@citypaper.net by 4:30 p.m. Write GIMME POPPED! TICKETS in the subject line. Best one wins.
Thanks so much to everyone who submitted a haiku (or many, many haikus) to our Mütter contest!
The kind folks at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia helped us out in choosing a winner, who'll receive two complimentary tickets to Thursday night's screening of the Quay Brothers' Through the Weeping Glass (which we told you about in our big Fall Arts Guide last week).
The first-place winner, as chosen by the Mütter:
Among bones, grave wax,
and forever twins Mütters
my red basement heart.
Congratulations, CritMass reader Denise!
A second-place shout-out goes to reader Vinney, whose haiku cracked up the pun-lovin' CP staff:
"Dad, can you show me
a two-headed baby corpse?"
"No. Ask your Mütter."
Thanks to everyone who submitted! Winners will be contacted shortly.
We’ve got the hookup on two pairs of tickets to see Lupe Fiasco at the Mann Center on Saturday and we want you to have them.
To win, email josh.middleton@citypaper.net with the correct answer to the question below:
Question: Lupe is also the lead singer/producer of an alternative rock band. What’s the name of that band?
Sat., Sept. 17, 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$48.50, with Big Sean, Miguel & Tinie Tempah, Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-878-0400, manncenter.org.
In today's art-tastic City Paper, A.D. Amorosi fills us in on the Quay Brothers' latest film, Through the Weeping Glass, which gets its world-première screening a week from today at the Mütter Museum. An appropriate setting, indeed, given that the film's all about the curiosities inside the walls of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.
The Sept. 22 screening has been sold out for a while now, but we got our hands on a pair of tickets that we'll give away to one lucky reader.
All you have to do is come up with a haiku about the Mütter. (Hint: "formaldehyde-soaked fetus" is seven syllables!)
You've got all weekend to submit entries to carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net or in the comments below; the winner will be announced Monday, Sept. 19, at noon.
Congratulations to reader/competitive poet jaxN! He sent us this haiku and won two tickets to see TV on the Radio tomorrow at the Mann:
Color cascades on
orbital trashcan farmlands.
What have we become?
TV on the Radio plays Fri., Sept. 9, 7:30 p.m., $25-$39.50, with Broken Social Scene, Mann Center for Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-878-0400, manncenter.org.
Want to see TVotR FRIDAY night at the Mann? Good, cause we want you to, too. (Oops our headline originally said "tomorrow" — the show is Friday.)
Here's what you have to do:
1. Write a haiku about TV on the Radio (yes, we count syllables)
2. Send it to pat@citypaper.net (subject: GIMME TV ON THE RADIO TICKETS) by 4 p.m. Wednesday.
We'll pick our favorite and send the winner and a guest to the show.
TV on the Radio plays Fri., Sept. 9, 7:30 p.m., $25-$39.50, with Broken Social Scene, Mann Center for Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-878-0400, manncenter.org.
While Fall Out Boy remains on "hiatus," frontman Patrick Stump has been on a solo tour giving folks a taste of what to expect on his upcoming debut album, Soul Punk. Curious? The Illinois singer-songwriter is coming to World Café Live tomorrow and we have a pair of tickets for the first person to email me with the correct answer to the following question:
Stump's Soul Punk was recently placed on Spin magazine's "24 Summer Albums That Matter Most" along with a band that's also playing this week in Philly. Can you tell me which one it is?
We have a winner! Congrats to Emily. She answered Alkaline Trio, who's playing this Sat. Aug. 13 @ the Troc. Thanks for playing!
Send your answer to josh.middleton@citypaper.net.
Wed., Aug. 10, 8 p.m., $20, with Wynter Gordon and John West, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, philly.worldcafelive.com.
View galleryThe contest was pretty simple, we thought. Draw, like, a scared bunny or a some sort of doom taxi and send it to us. Then we'd pick the best one and give the winner two tickets to see Death Cab for Cutie and Frightened Rabbit next Friday at the Mann. Well, unless you count the guy who emailed asking for tickets but didn't doodle anything, we only got one entry. People. Luckily, this Eliot B can draw a little and seems like a right on dude:
These are mine and the girl of my dreams favorite bands. This is our second date! She is dying for me to win this and win her heart. The midnight organ fight and transatlanticism taught me how to love again. ...
Things get kinda mushy from there. Enjoy the show, you two!
Death Cab plays with Frightened Rabbit Fri., Aug. 5 at the Mann. More info here.
