The Results are in!

Hi, Everybody!

Mondays!

___________________________

Since Dave's on the Fax, here's an update from the Man about the MarvelManVark Kickstarter:

Okay!

As EVERYBODY knows from watching this Month's Please Hold For Dave Sim, Freebie won the L.O.A.S.S. Wordsearch contest (and not JUST because I forgot him...) (I mean, I got five entries, so they're all getting SOMETHING, but Freebie's getting the big prize. (I'm still figuring out what...))

Anyway, feel free to check my math:

First in was Zipper:

Hi Matt!
Enclosed is an attachment of my best attempt to complete the wordsearch contest.
1- I was able to find all the members
2- I found 45 additional words with more than 2 letters. They are highlighted in yellow.
3- My best attempt to name all the members.
4- I looked and looked and looked some more, forwards, backwards, diagonal, up and down and STILL couldn't find the word KWYJIBO. If you say that the word is there, I continue to look. If it's not, then I'm done.

20 pts Names

225 pts extra

10 pts for real names (6 out of 20 correct)

3 pts for FIRST

258 total

KWYJIBO was a joke Zip...

And finally, Freebie:

Here's the list of extra words I found. I ignored any that were entirely inside another word, but included those that shared some letters, but not all. I included names, since I wasn't sure if they counted. The only L.O.A.S.S. name I know is my own (Freebie) and it's not on the list. (And I didn't find it.)

Even WITHOUT the extra 50 for being the FORGOTTEN L.O.A.S.S. member, he still would have won.

EVERYBODY'S getting a piece of paper with Dave's signature on it (like a collectible one, not just a random scrap.). AND, thanks to Nate "The Goddamn Batman" Oberstein, a "FIGHT LIKE AN AARDVARK" bumper sticker. ANNND...other things from the AMOC Prize Drawer.

Freebie's getting a Dave Sim Original Art Card. Because he's a Winner.
