Welcome to Unshelved, the world's only daily comic strip set in a public library! Writer Gene Ambaum (the made-up name of a real-life librarian) and co-writer and artist Bill Barnes have been publishing since February 16, 2002. Some of the stories are made up, some of them are based on real life, and some are absolutely true stories sent to us from our readers. And the stranger the story, the more likely it is to be true.
Now they present...
The virtual ink had hardly dried on our "Pimp My Bookcart" sequence when we started getting emails from libraries and schools talking about how they planned to customize, augment, or otherwise pimp out their bookcarts. So let's have a contest! Here's how it works:
- Email us pictures of your pimped-out bookcart - front, back, and sides. You agree to let us post your entry on the site.
- Bill and Gene will pick the winning entries
- First prize gets a $250 gift certificate to the Overdue Media Store plus a signed custom drawing of the Unshelved character(s) of your choice by Bill
- Runner-up gets a $50 gift certificate to the Overdue Media Store
- We'll post the all the entries on the site so that everyone can enjoy your hard work and creative flair
- Open to libraries, schools, businesses, and anyone with a bookcart that needs a little something extra
- The deadline for entries is January 15th, so get pimping!
P.S. For inspiration we offer our new shirts
