Nevin Martell would like you to know -

It's the holiday season – a time for being thankful and for giving gifts. I'm incredibly thankful for all of your support of the book (which is about to go into its 5th printing!!!), so I'm giving away five personally signed copies of it. To enter, all you have to do is email me (lookingforcalvinandhobbes@gmail.com) or Tweet me (@looking4calvin) a picture that demonstrates your Calvin and Hobbes fandom. It might be a shot of the abominable snowman you built, your Calvin tattoo, the Hobbes doll you sewed, a picture of your kid reading a collection, a sketch you drew of your favorite comic duo – whatever, go crazy. I will post the best entries on my website:

Winners will be chosen in mid-January. By submitting your photos, you are giving me permission to post them online. Please feel free to forward this email, Tweet about the contest, or write a blog post about it. The more entries the merrier, so bring it on.

This is the last time you'll be hearing from me on email for a while, but please feel free to stay in touch on Facebook, Twitter or my website.
