Capes-n-Babes

The following was posted from my original “Store Employee” idea…
******************************************************************************

Okay, so I’ve been reading a lot of articles about musical groups and how they cultivate their tribes (KISS Army, parrotheads, Deadheads, etc.). I also know a great number of web cartoonists who are already doing this. For example, you have Dave Kellett’s Sheldonistas as well as Brad Guigar’s Henchmen.

Well, my idea here is that since I always thought it would be the coolest thing in the world to work in a comic book store, I’m hoping many of you feel the same way. So, I want to start out by offering some of you who have been extremely enthusiastic and supportive of Capes & Babes these first couple of years the first shot at being a Capes & Babes employee. A Capes & Babes employee would have an ID badge that they can wear to various conventions & will show your support for the strip. It’ll have your name, how long you’ve been an employee (a fan) of the store and what your comic book expertise might be – think of it sort of like your own Avengers member car but one you can wear around your neck.

But first, we need a better name for ourselves than just “Capes & Babes Employee”. Let’s have a contest… add some of your suggestions to the comments section and the winner will get an original 9×12″ full color commission of any character they want.

What do you say, people? Like Pink might say, LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!

And without further ado, I would like to introduce the very first honorary Capes & Babes employee… John Nacinovich! You can find out more about John by following him on Twitter at @LittleJohn312!

Additional Update…
****************************************************************

Okay gang, now that I’m back from Baltimore, I had plenty of time to let this idea brew in my head. I even had some additional names as well such as “The Wednesday Warriors” – but for some reason, that seems familiar too me so I’ve been reluctant to go with that as well. But the more I kept thinking about it, the more “Wolf Pack” just seems to really be appealing to me.

As I told a few of you during Baltimore, one of the reasons I like “Wolf Pack” is because there’s no limit to how big it can grow. With the idea of “store employees”, after a while, that’s gonna be one huge, crowded store, right?
