A SPECIAL 2007 MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM THE CREATORS OF SORE THUMBS

OWEN GIENI (artist)
So here's the deal gang, I'm trying to make a go of doing art full time. It's truly a dream come true for me and your support in this endeavor is appreciated more than I can say. I'm not really comfortable with the idea of asking for donations, so Chris and I came up with something else instead: CECANIA'S PRIVATE PARTY, a full color pin-up/comic detailing Cecania's bikini clad partying adventures. It should be a real blast. I promise I'll do my best to make every strip wallpaper worthy as well as having a sexy/mildly entertaining story being told. We'll also have tons of extra bonus material and I'll use the board as a sketch dump for some of my other art. I'll be active on the board every day, plus I'll take the occasional request from CPP readers, if by chance you want a pic of Harmony in a catgirl outfit, let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate :). This really is important to me, not just for my livelihood but for my life's ambition as well, your $1.99 a month makes all the difference in the world to me. So thanks to everyone who joins CPP, I promise to give you your money's worth. To those of you who'd like to help me out but can't afford it, if you could stop by my other webcomics; WICKEDPOWERED and LAST BLOOD and help make them popular, I'd appreciate that as well. Thanks everyone, you're the best, and I'll see you at the party. - Owen

Greetings, Sore Thumbs readerers! I am the idiot who writes the stupid words for this comic. Sorry to interrupt our normal homepage with this, but blog posts are easy to ignore (what with all the YouTube crap I post on it) and we wanted to get your attention. I want to see my illustrious artistic partner in well-intentioned comic idiocy make a living drawing webcomics, so I kindly ask that you consider joining CPP. There's not much there now (which is why we're giving away the first week for free), but there will be.

CPP is not just a bonus comic/pin-up/wallpaper on top of the standard SORE THUMBS fun you'll continue to get for free thrice weekly without fail (barring massive blackouts) right here like you have for the nearly three years now, it's also a club that desperately wants you as a member. And that's neither something to sneeze at nor is it chopped liver. But even if you don't like this new bonus comic/pin-up/wallpaper/clubhouse/dream-factory called CPP, you can continue subscribing anyway, secure in the knowledge that you are helping to make a nice young man's dream come true (all proceeds from CPP go to Owen). Which is priceless, isn't it? I think so. And if that's not enough for you (wonderful) people, we're giving away a ROBOREPTILE (retail value: $119.99) to a random CPP member, courtesy of our friends at WowWee Toys.

Make a nice young man's dream come true, possibly win a robot dinosaur from WowWee Toys ... what more could you ask for? Nothing, that's what. But because we're such sweethearts, we'll also randomly send a CPP member a signed copy of the upcoming SORE THUMBS VOL. 1 book collection, which isn't even available for purchase yet. To summarize: making dream come true, maybe get free robot dinosaur, possibly get free signed book from the future... yeah, I should stop typing now. Live long and prosper in '07 and beyond! (Click below to get to our comfortable, familiar old homepage and read the hilarious new comic. It'll be back in this spot on Friday.) - Chris
