I haven't bought 'Loaded' for a while, or any of the others men's magazines - but I'm assuming they'll probably show a sample so everyone can get the gist of it... Or maybe there's some samples archived on their website...
I'd imagine it's just quick gags that run over a couple of comic book style frames - like an 'Andy Capp' or whatever... Possibly topical/political - but more likely with an innuendo or risque element given the style and tone of the magazine... I'm looking forward to it...
I think I'm BACK so I'll give it a whirl I guess...not sure "innuendo" and "risque" is my bag...but subtle crudity definately is. I've never bought Loaded before but I've admired the cover from a distance so I think I have the gist.
Well it says there that they'll adapt it into a cartoon, so I don't think any attempt needs to be made to draw the thing or anything like that... They just want the funnies... LustForLeith has the right idea, I'd say - they said 'beginning middle and end, in the same number of boxes', so it's probably best to go with that...
BOX ONE - and then whatever characters are in that and the action/dialogue that takes place....
BOX TWO - and so on...
Should be fun to have crack at anyway... Good luck to all...
As a grumpy old man, I have not had any contact with these so called 'Lads Mags', but will now be able to justify perving I mean reading a couple of back issues as legitamate research!
I'm looking forward to this comp as I've always loved the irreverent little comic strips they have in Loaded. They used to have a really good photo/comic strip thing entitled Newsagent Provocateur which was hilarious.
I also like the fact that you can enter as many times as you like. I've finished one so far...
Well they've got some samples there in the new Blog today - and I'd highly recommend taking a look to get the idea of the sort of things they're after...
It's WAY simpler than what I had in mind, and was going for... So back to the drawing board, me thinks...
I think it's the Easter break that's done it - and pushed the announcement back... Or technical troubles updating the main page - which can't be helped...
It'll probably be this week sometime now... But definitely soon...
