THE CONTEST IS OVER!
July is here and the contest is now closed! This weekend, with the help of Mombot and perhaps one of the sisterlings, I’ll be drawing ten names out of a hat for the general contest and five names for the mailing-list-peeps-only contest and report the winners of the #150 Anniversary BOTtons next week. Good luck and thanks to everybody who participated!

JEFbot has just passed 150 strips!!! To celebrate, I created a special BOTton (click on the image to the left to see a close up) with jefbot, his fighting ferret Abraxas, and his shirt emblazoned with a “150″ instead of his trusty “6″ logo. I’m only printing 150 of these special pins, 10 of which I’m giving away in the following contest:

CONTEST RULES
This one’s my easiest contest yet: all you have to do is leave a comment on any blog or comic strip during the month of June, with your valid email address in the email field (otherwise I can’t contact you should you win). You can even leave a comment on this blog post if you like. For every June comic or post you leave a comment on, I’ll put your name in the hat for the random drawing of 10 lucky winners in July. Note it’s not every comment but every post you leave a comment on, so don’t be going crazy leaving multiple comments in every single post (unless the mood strikes you), as it won’t help your chances. As you can tell from this system, many of you regular commenters are already way ahead of the game!!!

So that’s it: leave a comment with your email address in the email field of any June blog post or comic strip and you’ll automatically be entered to win a #150 Anniversary BOTton! Good luck!

MORE CHANCES TO WIN
I’m also giving away five additional BOTtons to random people on the JEFbot Mailing List. If you’re on the mailing list, you’ve already been entered. If you’re not on the mailing list, it’s not too late! Just subscribe before the end of June by clicking the following link: Assimilate me! You’ll be entered into the drawing just for being on the list! Easy peasy.

The contest is officially over! Names are being extracted, tabulated and dropped into hats as we speak. I’ll be posting the results here during the first week of December after contacting the winners. Thanks to everybody who entered!

Edit: Extending the contest through Saturday, November 29, due to all the craziness surrounding Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The new JEFbot t-shirt is almost here! But first I’m having this contest to give a few of them away as a “thank you” to you readers. This time, there are three chances to get into the drawing for these sweet, luxurious tees. Check ‘em out:

Chance #1: This one’s easy. Just shoot me an email letting me know the number or title of your favorite JEFbot strip. If you can’t name one off the top of your head, check out the archives, find one you like, and email me. Simple.

Chance #2: You have to be on the JEFbot e-mailing list to find out what to do for this one. If you aren’t on the mailing list already, it’s not too late. Just email me and I’ll put you on the list and instructions will follow when the next email goes out. Pretty simple.

Chance #3: MOMBOT’s Bonus Round: As in the last contest, my mom’s generously donating a shirt for an extra chance for someone to win a tee. Since the symbol on mombot’s character is a dragonfly, find the dragonfly (and not the one on her shirt, for reals) hidden in one of the strips mombot appears in (you’ll know it when you see it). Then email me with the strip number or title. A little harder, but there’s a way to keep this simple too, if you put your mind to it.

So that’s it! You have three chances to win (please submit only a single entry per “chance,” though), so do one, two or all three. The contest starts today and goes through next Friday, November 28, 2008 Saturday, November 29, 2008. After that, I’ll be putting names in hats and someone trustworthy will draw out the winners, who will be announced soon after.

Let the contest begin… NOW! Good luck, everybody!!!

Oh, and if you want to just buy a shirt, I’ll start doing pre-orders once these festivities are over.
