"Battle of Spirit II" Sunday - February 27th, 2005
All I gotta say is that I had fun drawing this one. It wasn't the best
drawing or plotting out job by far, but in terms of storytelling, times
like this are pretty fun for the storyteller. It should please all of you
Julienne fans to know that she is fast becoming a force to be reckoned
with even without a ninja weapon and spirit attacks. It also illustrates
just why she was considered a combo force with Tom when he played
football. Her ability to use her skills to help and support are almost bar
none. She may not be the smartest, strongest, or prettiest, but in the end
Jules is someone you can't really live without. Unfortunately people like
her are also prone to being underappreciated and taken advantage of. More
on this on a later date...
In other big news, you may have noticed the old Battle of Spirit banner
back in place up above. As you and I both know Spirit 200 is fast
approaching and with it the Battle of Spirit tournament to crown just who
the most popular character in Ninja Spirit is!! Starting March 22nd, the
day after the posting of Spirit 200, a poll will be posted on the main
page right under the comic. Every weekday two Ninja Spirit characters will
duke it out to see who can amass the most votes from all of you till one
true champion is crowned!!
You don't think I'd just celebrate the 200th strip of Ninja Spirit
comic with a simple popularity poll did you? Once again you the reader
have a shot in winning a nice special limited edition poster commemorating
the second batch of 100 NS comic strips. All you have to do is go into the
Battle of Spirit section and click on the Entry Form link. There you will
do your best to predict just how the Battle of Spirit Tournament will
unfold. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament
wins a one of the aforementioned signed posters by yours truly!! If you
miss out on winning, a limited edition of the poster will be on sale till
the end of Spring. (Just so you know the special limited edition poster is
not only signed by myself, but also features a never before seen character
to come!!)
There are no catches in this contest. The rules are fairly simple.
1. You can only enter once.
2. You MUST supply a real name and valid E-mail address. If you
win the poster, I will obviously also need you real address as well.
3. All entries are due by the end of Saturday March 19th, 2005.
No late entries will be accepted.
4. If anyone is found cheating via stuffing of the ballot boxes
or sending in duplicate entries they will be disqualified from the
contest.
As always this contest will be monitored by one of those geeky computer
types that I know. So don't cheat!! The point is to enjoy and have fun
with the whole thing. As was the case before, all matches during the
Battle of Spirit will be discussed in the NS Forum, so you might wanna
drop in there while the tournament is going on to see what other fans like
yourself are saying!!
Peace!
River says you can win prizes!! (**not a motorcycle)
Vote for Ninja
Spirit!!
