Elect Psychoboy is a go!

So I completed Psychoboy's campaign and social media pages this week and have his initial posts ready to go. The idea with issue four is that part of it is told in the comic and part of it is an interactive online experience. 

The site, electpsychoboy.com, is up now. Be sure to check out everything on there. His biography alone is priceless. More stuff will be added later as he gets responses on what his positions should be and I create some short YouTube ads for his campaign. 

And then be sure to join Team Psycho by liking or following Psychoboy on social media. He'll send you ads and other nonsense from his campaign regularly (probably about once a day), In a couple weeks he'll be asking what you want him to stand for, what positions he should take and I'll be adding whatever it is to his platform on his site. Build a Death Star? A giant robot in every yard? Eliminate all taxes and completely pay off the national debt? The sky's the limit! 

This experience depends on you. You're going to need to like, favorite, share and comment on the posts in order for this to work. I need to reach as many people as possible. 

You can follow Psychoboy on Google+, Facebook and Twitter (they'll be a bit of extra stuff for those of you on Google+).  I'll be sharing his posts using the College Follies pages on Twitter and Google+ and my personal page (Todd Luck) on Facebook (since posts on the College Follies Facebook page don't seem to reach anyone).

It's a relief to get this going. I'm also halfway through the story, having completed page four, which I'll be posting later today. I'm on schedule to complete issue four in October!

At this point, this blog will feature major announcements and posts on page completion as I shift over to social media posts for Psychoboy's campaign and the occasional post to remind folks the first three issues are out.

 So click on the links in this post and tell your friends, let's make this campaign epic!

Issue Four...Psycho Goes To Washington!

So issue four is called "Psychoboy Goes To Washington." In it, Psychoboy runs for the House of Representatives, recruiting his best bud Stickboy to be his campaign manager.

I haven't written the script yet, but I'm thinking it should be around nine pages long and cost 99 cent online. Since I'm capturing an entire campaign in a short story, obviously they'll be lots of jumping around in time and summarizing in the story. But the comic will only be part of it.

I also want to tell the story online in an interactive way. Psychoboy will have an actual virtual campaign while I'm working on the issue. He'll have a campaign site and be posting on social media. Having no convictions of his own, he'll be asking you what he should stand for, letting you write his platform. He'll also be posting hilarious campaign ads, both memes and the occasional YouTube video as well as various other miscellaneous nonsense. It's going to be a lot of fun and I hope a lot of people sign up for and share his posts.

If you want to be an early adaptor and join Team Psycho you're more than welcome to look Psychoboy up on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and start liking and following him now. I'll be launching everything within a couple weeks and I'll let you guys know when the campaign is ready to go.

With the added virtual campaign, I'll be posting on here a lot less. There will still be posts to let you know what my progress is, I always want you guys to know where I'm at, but they'll be less detailed and less frequent. I'll still posting announcements and whenever I completely finish a page. Showing every bit of the creation of the series was great when that's all I had to show, but now that the series is out, it's time to switch gears and try something new and different that I hope you guys will enjoy.

My goal is have the issue done in October. I doubt I'll hit my original goal of having it done the first week of October but there shouldn't be any problem getting it out before the election.

In my next post I'll be announcing my fall convention appearances. Until then, remember to vote early, vote often and vote Psychoboy!

Here's the header for the @CollegeFollies Twitter page. As you can see, it's taken from the first cover. And that's 139 characters. See ya.
