Ten Free Comic-Inspired Fonts

If you haven’t noticed by now (hope it was nice and dry under that rock), I am a lover of comic books and webcomics a like.

Here’s a great round up of some of my favorite free Comic Fonts.

Custom Poster Print Giveaway!

Posting Print Giveaway

Snailbird.com and the awesome crew over at Online Poster Printing are teaming up to do another amazing giveaway! I cannot express enough how much I love working with them. The final product is always 100% perfect. Plus, they’re not like the normal conservative printing company – they’re community oriented and driven, and respond fast to questions. Not to mention they’re an easy-going bunch and I just really love the community they’ve got going for their sponsorships. Anyway, enough public love, onto the giveaway!

The Prize

One awesomely big 18×24 Poster Print for one lucky winner! This can be printed on high gloss paper or semi gloss paper stock. The finished product will be rolled up and shipped to the winner in a protective poster tube. How cool is this prize? Check out what Online Poster Printing can do working with digital photo enlargements and digital photos on posters.

The Rules (Gotta have ‘em)

01. Sorry guys, this one is for US residents only.
02. Gotta comment on this post of course to enter the giveaway – tell me what you’ll want to use your poster for. Do you have an event coming up that you’d like to advertise? Have a picture you’ve taken that you want to blow up and give to your mom? I’m curious!

Poster Printing

While I can’t promise this will be done in time for Valentine’s Day, you could always use it as an Oops-I-Forgot-It-Was-Valentine’s-Day-So-Here’s-A-Big-Happy-Picture-Of-Us present a week or so later. The deadline to get your comment in and take part in the giveaway is February 12, 2010. At that point, I’ll choose the winner through the Random.org generator. Only those with answers to the above question will be put in the drawing so don’t forget that part! One comment is allowed per person and don’t forget to tell your friends to join.

Don’t forget to tweet about the giveaway to your friends!

Come back on February 13, 2010 to find out who the winner is!
