Well howdy folks! It’s page 1 of issue 3! Or page 56… either way…
Anywho, here’s a pretty little scene for y’all to gander at!

First Prize!!!
COFFIN COSTUME CONTEST!!!!
A costume contest btw! So here’s the rundown… dress up as a What’s Shakin’ character for Halloween (or just for fun), take pics, then send them in! Also, dressing up your kids or pets will also count. I’ll choose the awesomest for the grand prize of a real life COFFIN SHAKER! Wicked huh? This piece is made with fine Italian craftsmanship! Well, a quarter Italian… still fine though… mmmhmm!
I’ll also have something for the next 3 runners up! A choice of 2 buttons from my shop page. How’s that sound? Good deal eh?
Deadline for entry is November 7th (midnight EST on that monday night)!! Also, please make the pics an acceptable size… so nothing like 300gb or 1kb… you know what I mean.
Send pics, name, and your wordpress name if you got one to:
contest2 (at) whatsshakincomic (dot) com
(that’s contest and the number two if the font looks wrong)
IMPORTANT: I WILL send you an email to confirm that I got your entry within 24 hrs! If you DO NOT get a response, please let me know! I’ll post the top 4 entries and maybe some more the week after.


























Can’t be good news if fred wants that crystal thing.
Hmm… guess y’all have to wait till next week to see what’s going on in this neck of the woods. >)
also… I kinda did a slight bit of “soft focus” filtering to this panel… I’m not sure if it’ll be something I’ll keep using, but it seems to soften up the lines a bit so… idk… maybe next week when we get some folks in the panels you guys can take a vote or something if you like the effect or not. >D
(sees fire near the trees)
NOPE NOPE NOPE
Smokey the Bear’s sure to get pissed about this one…
the suspense is killing me
sure it’s not that knife?
Knife! Ooh where
*finds kinfe in chest and pulls it out* Ooh look at the blood
See its nothing out of the ordinary, just some swamp gas and a downed weather balloon. *nod nod*
XD
but how do you explain the probing?
mmmmm, swamp-gas-o-rific!
swamp: “ok ok, let me show you a cool trick! just hold this match and pull my finger”
Poor Fred….sulking in a corner licking his wounds which were still dripping with ice.
I really like how you do your landscapes.
thanks! I still $!@#$ing hate trees though…
but the moons were pretty fun to do! >D
you draw trees way beter then I can
why thanks!
lol, they’re actually really easy once you get the hang of it (just time consuming)… hmm, maybe I should do a tutorial? I guess the trick is getting the leaves to look right… look at some of my old trees on Coffin Comics to see my first terribad attempts! XD
