The Gypsy Curse + CONTEST!!!

THOIA reader Ian Docherty recommended today's story for us all from Standard Comic's December 1953 issue of Adventures into Darkness #12. He even sent me the scans, but since they originally came from elsewhere I thought I'd just go ahead and re-scan them from my own collection so as to not step on anyone's cursed toes. Says Ian, "Besides having the funniest opening panel ever, it has a pretty good ending too. Don't know who the artist or writer is but between them they created a classic!"

THOIA DRAW ME CONTEST!

Yes, it's contest time again! We had great fun in our last one, blaspheming Bob Hope in a variety of horrific stylings... and in today's story post (above) you witnessed how someone could take a beautiful young lady and give her "The Gypsy Curse" of ugliness... and thus, now it is your turn! See the vintage ad below? Don't just draw her--- RUIN HER!! Give her the THOIA treatment and make her SCARY. Or make something scary happening to her. It's your choice-- YOU ARE THE ARTIST.

All entries should be emailed to me directly at karswell@hotmail.com no later than Friday October 23rd (one week from today.) All entries will then be posted for judging by YOU the readers sometime the following week... the winner will then be announced on Halloween Night. Prizes include: a THOIA tee-shirt, horror DVDs, leftover Halloween candy and anything else I can scrounge up from a shallow grave. So have some fun with it! Be creative! Be an asshole! Be anything you want to be and--- DRAW!
