Drawing Our Heroes has been a real pleasure for me, and I think this little gallery makes a lovely way to send it off. Happy trails, y’all.

Well, kids, that wraps up the Gila Riseth storyline for Our Heroes. I hope you enjoyed meeting the gang in their introductory adventure.
For anybody who quit reading because they missed a few installments, now’s your chance to start again at the beginning and catch up. To all those loyal fans of Our Heroes who enjoyed the whole thing, please be sure to click today’s LIKE button!
And with this break in the action, I’m going to take the opportunity to get off the webcomics merry-go-round for a while. Thank-you so much for reading Our Heroes and Zoo Laffs. You’ve been a wonderful audience!
It’s time for me to start taking more paying jobs, but I’d love to make more comics, too. So if any of my fans out there has connections to the kooky sort of publishers who’d be into something like Jakey, Onion Puss, or Our Heroes, hook a fella up.
Next week, we’ll present the Our Heroes pinup gallery (call for entries here). Then, on the 22nd . . . WHO KNOWS?!
I love all y’all. Maybe after a while, I’ll return to the webcomics world, so let me just say . . . goodbye for now.

Call for Pinups

Hey, Readers!
Remember how, during my Zoo Laffs run, I did the 10-part Jakey the Jerk story, Kablooey!!!, and readers contributed to this awesome pinup gallery, HERE? And remember how, after my 14-part Onion Puss story, Ghost of a Chance, readers submitted their art to this fantastic set of pinups, HERE? Well it turns out, the current Our Heroes arc, Gila Riseth, will be wrapped up soon (with part 57). So let’s have another pinup gallery!
I’ve put out a call for pinups to friends, via email, and I’ve received a good little batch, so far. To everyone who already sent theirs in — Thanks a lot!
But I’m greedy. Looking at Frog Raccoon Strawberry’s recent guest strips, and all the amazing entries in the Skadi costume contest, I can see how many fantastic cartoonists are among the Dumm readership. So I’m opening up the call for pinups to all of y’all. Who wants to contribute?
Our Heroes, thus far, has just been finished in sketchy pencil, with a few touches of colored pencil, here and there. You could make your work look similar to mine, or you could do it in any style, with fancy inking or full color, etc. Also, if you want, you can redesign the characters in whatever way you like. You can use
Detective Elke Decker (the Decker)
Frank Hammersmith (the Human Mallet)
Baa-baa-raa Blacksheep (Black Sheep)
Bill Czestochowski (Guise)
Jolene Willis (Chickadee)
Bubby (Sun Bear)
Fritter
Master Gila
or any combination thereof. It could just be a pinup, with them jumping or punching, relaxing by the pool, or what have you. Or, if you want to do a short comic or joke, etc., that could be fun, too.
See above for the characters’ official colors. Of course you can change those up for your own versions, if you like. This is just to give you an idea of what colors I picture on them.
If you participate, I will of course tout your brilliance and link your websites, etc. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I’ll post the pinup gallery on December 15th. Please send your pinups in by Thursday, December 12th. Email them to cgarrison[at]bham.rr.com
Warm regards, and thanks a million in advance,
Chris G
