Polite Dissent

Mike Sterling from Progressive Ruin is holding a contest where you can win a copy of the most recent Swamp Thing trade paperback.

I’m not entering the contest because I already have all the issues that are collected in Swamp Thing: Bad Seed. However, if I were to enter the contest, here is what my entry would be, in the form of a soliloquy from the green guy himself:

Lilies…are pretty…but not as pretty…as these roses…just like Andy Diggle…writes well…but not as good…as Alan Moore.

On a tangentially related Swamp Thing theme, here are a couple of interesting items I stumbled across recently.

• First is the irrepressible Fred Hembeck’s take on Swamp Thing.
• Second, here’s a nice panel of Swamp Thing in Spanish. (For those of you who don’t have the language skills I do, let me translate. He is saying: All your bases are belong to us.)

Speaking of contests: Don’t forget Johanna’s Owly contest over at Cognitive Dissonance (my entry will be arriving shortly — as soon as I can figure out the archaic graphic and e-mail programs on my father-in-law’s computer).

Beaucoup Kevin is holding a contest as well for the Julius graphic novel. This is a title I’m not familiar with (though I know the source material), so color me interested.
