Walt Flanagan’s Dog T-Shirt

• The world’s most famous rat terrier gets his very own t-shirt! See the much talked about but never before seen canine that just happens to be the second arch-nemesis of Jay and Silent Bob. This high quality t-shirt depicts Walt’s dog hungrily chasing the other dynamic duo. The back says simply, “Walt Flanagan’s Dog.” Order it here!

• Snooganburg! Add this authetic, little-known New Jersey town to your Sim City 2000 Arsenal (If you play the game, I personally never got into it, but…) Anyway, here’s what the author, Pythomas, had to say about it himself:

There’s a map of the town that exists, also, but we just don’t have the space to post it here. It’s really very well-done, and humorous as well, so if you have access to Sim City, it’s worth taking the time to dowload and look at.

• Hey you. Yes, YOU. Thanks a lot for checking in with us. Whether you’re a new visitor or a regular, it’s nice of you to drop by and support us. Feedback’s been great lately, and we’ve been hearing lots of positive things from the common fanboys (like us) all the way up to the bigwigs at and around View Askew! Nothing like a nice e-mail to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside…It makes working on the page more of a joy, as well. Don’t forget we’re here to serve, but also to listen. Scoop us with your news and rumors! Be a part of the action!

By the way, sorry for the lack of, as we say, “real news” around lately. Those of you who read the web board fairly regularly can probably see not a whole lot is going on. Probably just the calm before the storm, though! We’re even hoping to get some first-hand, inside scoops on some of goings-on in the Red Bank area in the next couple months, so stick with us. See ya next time.

• With Comedy Central’s upcoming rude, crude, TV-MA rated “South Park” premiering this Wednesday night at 10 (EST), we thought our fellow Askew fans might want to take a look at the short that set it all into motion. It’s a 5 minute animated short called “The Spirit Of Christmas”, only available through bootlegs (And a few special spots on the net!). Kevin really likes this show, so we figured that’s excuse enough to give you the info here. You may want to skip down to the next story if you’re easily offended but, then again, if you were you probably wouldn’t be here.

Just another show proving, as Kevin always says, the real money’s in dick and fart jokes.

• We got a really nice e-mail from Vincent Pereira today, the writer/director of the upcoming film “A Better Place”, and to our horror realized that we hadn’t mentioned it on the page yet! Sorry, Vincent. Anyway, here’s some info direct from View Askew on the film. You can also click the title to check out its Internet Movie Database entry (just like all the other flicks we mention on the page!):

From what we’ve read, this sounds like an excellent film, so if you have an opportunity, do look into seeing it after it’s released. Thanks again for the mail, Vincent! Can’t wait to see the movie!

• Alright, so we don’t have the actual date yet, but we do know that Kevin will be back next year making another appearance at Atlanta’s DragonCon September 3-6, 1998 (according to their web page). Click here to see for yourself!

• Here’s a small blurb from an article from the Summer 1997 edition of Filmmaker magazine (the quote is from Michelle Byrd of IFP, an organization dedicated to independent filmmakers):

Pretty flattering stuff! Check out their site here.

• This seemed to work well last time, and since nothing too major’s happened in the past few days, I thought I’d simply share a few odds and ends with you:

• When asked on the Web Board if he planned to create a Bluntman & Chronic feature film, he again mentioned the B&C comic. So, for those of you who haven’t heard, you can probably expect this to happen, most likely sometime soon after the “Walt Flanagan’s Dog” comic hits the shelves.
• I’ve been getting tons of e-mail from folks asking me where to get the Supes and Dogma scripts. For those of you looking for the place, it’s listed under our July archvies. Click HERE and we’ll take you right there. By the way, the place is called Pix Poster Cellar, and it seems they’vepleased many an Askew customer over the past few weeks.
• Still no new Dogma casting news for you, unfortunately. Filming is still slated to begin in mid-February in Memphis.

Well, that’s all I could dig up. Remember to send us your scoops so we can get the news up as soon as possible, especially at times like this when there’s not too much going on.

• Hey, we realize it’s been a long 2 months looking at that ugly text at the top of the screen but, finally the wait is over! Congratulations to our LOGO CONTEST WINNER, Jen! How did we choose our winner? Well, Jen’s graphic was funny, creative, AND it fit into the space we had at the top of the page. Just point your mouse to the graphic and you’ll notice a little window with Jen’s info appear either on the graphic or in your status bar (depending on what browser you’re using). In fact, Jen, we’ll put anything you want in that text area, just let us know! Also, everyone, be sure and try out the nifty new toolbar we stuck up there under the graphic. We had a few other outstanding entrys as well, and plan to use some elements from those graphics elsewhere on the page. Basically, look for some nice visual improvements to the page as time goes on, when we feel like actually changing stuff.

As for now, I’m heading out to have a few cocktails, so this is most likely gonna be it for today. Sorry, I didn’t have time to check up on news (or even do a good job writing THIS newsbite tonight), but we’ll be back with the latest stuff TOMORROW, most likely sometime in the afternoon (depending on how late I sleep).

Again, thanks to EVERYONE who entered the contest. You did us proud. See ya tomorrow!

• Well folks, tonight’s the night that marks the end of our logo contest. Again, thanks to all of you who entered. We’ve really seen some greatsubmissions and, even if your logo isn’t the winner, we’re going to continue to look for custom graphics to keep the site fresh and set it apart from anything else out there. We hope you’ll be willing to come through again like you did for us this time. Some of your graphics may even end up elsewhere on the pages, just not as the logo (with your permission, of course!). Anyway, we’re going to announce our winner and modify the page sometime TONIGHT, so check back with us later!

By the way, hope we didn’t disappoint you with the lack of updates yesterday, there just wasn’t a whole hell of a lot going on.
