Update #23: Win a job at the Multiplex 10 Cinemas!

Posted on November 15, 2009

The exclusive Kickstarter backers' T-shirt (at the $50 level or higher) will sport a parody of the poster for The Breakfast Club, with some of the Multiplex gang standing in for the original Club. I'll unveil the finished art for this once it's made — before December 12th — but I've got to finish the (ridiculously long delayed) Multiplex: Chapter 2 eBook first.

Anyway!

For the final pledge drive special prizey prize giveaway thing — one and ONLY one lucky winner will win a job — at the Multiplex 10 Cinemas. The exact specifics of the character and how you'll be used will be decided once a winner is chosen, after December 12th, because I'll want to cater it to you at least somewhat — but you'll have a minimum of three appearances in or around the summer of 2010 before you unceremoniously quit, get fired, die, or something, and yes, you'll have dialogue. If the winner is a bit too old to be a staff kid, we'll work something out — perhaps it's having your teenage self takes your place, or you're a shift manager transferred in from another theater, a second security guard, or something.

(As with the cameo appearances, you must grant me rights to your likeness for the Multiplex strip and any print books in perpeuity and you have no control over how I draw the character based off of you, how I characterize you, or what happens to this character. Because it's not really you, obviously. It's a comic strip.)
And just so nobody who's won a comic or a poster/button pack will get bummed out: all backers at any level — including people who have previously won prizes — are eligible.
In Other News The Multiplex: Chapter 1 print comics have come in and will be mailed out early this week to anybody who has pre-ordered or won a copy!

Also, the winners of the Multiplex/Memento poster & button prize packs have been notified via a Kickstarter message. As soon as we get all your mailing addresses in, I'll have my merch guy Jackson send those out, as well.

      I'm so glad being too old doesn't count against anyone - I want to be in it too and I'm well into middle age ;o)
