Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is - if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page... http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) - myself, Greg Hatcher, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Bill Reed, Sonia Harris, Melissa K. and Ken H.
I update the blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account.
Now on to the bit!
So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the choices picked from the previous week. Here is an archive of all the previous editions of The Line It Is Drawn!
To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply - so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 9:00 AM Pacific this Friday).
The topic is...
Happy Holidays, everyone! Tell us a comic book character as well as a holiday motif you'd like to see said comic book character appear in! Emma Frost meets Frosty the Snowman? Santa and Son of Satan fight some bad guys? Doc Ock and Aunt May under the mistletoe? So on and so forth!
Read on for the sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!
In honor of Fred Van Lente Day, we'll tie in with Fred Van Lente's upcoming project, Action Presidents, by having out artists do "Action" versions of other historical figures (not Presidents or Philosophers, of course). You suggest a historical figure and our artists will come up with an "Action" design for them (like how Plato was a wrestler, so the great Ryan Dunlavey designed him as a big masked wrestler)
Enjoy!
I'll put them in alphabetical order based on the name of the Twitter user who made the suggestion.

Okay, now that that is out of the way, let's move on to our SECRET theme this week! You see, last week was Nick Perks' ONE HUNDREDTH consecutive edition of The Line it is Drawn! He hasn't missed a single week! So this week, with #119, we decided to celebrate Nicks' 100 editions in a row with a mixture of the main theme and some extra "perks" from our other artists...
