"Creatures 'n Crooks, Episode IV"

Now, I did promise some behind-the-scenes tidbits for these "Best of 2008" winners. I expected these nuggets of info to focus on the graphic artwork and how I did several of the pictures involved, but this one wasn't all that complicated. I mean... really. The majority of the dialogue in this episode is only one word: WAFFLES!

All that said, I do have a humorous follow-up to this episode. The dragons calendar I used in this episode was wrapped up in plastic, so I really did have to buy it (as is seen two episodes later in Creatures 'n Crooks, Episode VI. I then gave this calendar to my wife as something of a Christmas gift, something that would fit in her locker at work. I simply warned her, "You might not be so happy with me once see what I did with it." So far, she hasn't sought revenge. Whew!

The Best of 2008

This past May, I made a commitment to post two episodes every week. I'm happy to say, I made good on that promise for the rest of 2008, posting almost seventy episodes. Now, I put it to you, the readers of the Lair, to decide on the best three episodes from last year.

Just list your three favorite episodes and send them in an e-mail to me at KnightBek@aim.com. Don't worry about ranking them. Each pick will count as a single vote. The voting starts now and will end at midnight (eastern time), the night of Saturday, January 10th.

The top three episodes will be posted each Monday, starting with the third place winner on January 12th. I'll post second place on January 19th, and the best episode of '08 will go up on January 26th. Each post will include some interesting, behind-the-scenes nuggets to go along with each of the winning episodes.

If you'd like to encourage your own blog's readers to cast their vote, feel free to plug in the above picture of me and Frank on your blog. Thanks to all of you for following the Lair in 2008. Here's hoping the Lair will grow even more in 2009.

Creatures 'n Crooks, Episode V
