If you’re a regular reader of our comic, you’ve noticed that, every once in a while, we add little background details to our strips, just for fun and geek giggles. The most popular of these pieces of background art are usually the posters we make up and insert into unsuspecting walls in many of our comics.  We’re often asked for higher-res versions of these posters by readers, the now classic Emissary poster that was featured in Buffer Overflow even adorned walls in real life!  So, due to popular demand, we’ve added a new section to our Downloads page. It’s a section devoted to these posters. Keep in mind that these posters are basically done as an inside joke, and most weren’t even meant to be readable in the comic itself. Also, most of them are kitbashed from any piece of art we have laying around, so they aren’t supposed to be great works of art. Still, they are a fun bit we’d like to share with all of you.

We’ll be adding more posters as they make appearances on the strip, so be sure to check the page every once in a while.

And the “Geekify Me!” contest has a winner! Let’s congratulate the (un)lucky winner, Mr. Gabriel Pagan, who won the right to be turned into a The World According to Geek character by our resident penciller, Rick. As soon as Rick gets his act together, we’ll post a copy of the original art Gabriel will be receiving within the next ten years.

Congrats Gabriel! And thanks to all that participated and helped us celebrate our second anniversary! Stay tuned for more contests!

In honor of our second anniversary (and in honor of our noble tradition of doing random contests whenever we damn feel like it!) we’d like to announce our extra-special Geekify Me! contest! (That’s short for “Puleaze, Rick, will you Geekify Me, I’m Begging You!”)

Here’s the skinny:

We’ll select a lucky winner who will receive a one-of-a-kind, hand drawn, The World According to Geek version of themselves by our resident penciller, artist, and all-around stand-up bloke, Ricardo Santiago (plus some other assorted goodies!) This special artwork will be signed by the three of us, free of charge, at zero cost to you. (Dirty talk costs extra, though.)

To participate, all you need is to leave a comment here, at the anniversary comic’s post or at our Facebook page or send us an @reply in our Twitter during the week of March 7 through the 14. We will then contact the winner through Facebook, email, Twitter DM or psychotelepathic suggestions and announce the lucky (or unlucky!) participant on Sunday, March 28th.

Contest Rules:

Contest winner will be selected randomly from all comments submitted at the aforementioned web areas from March 7, 2010 to March 14, 2010.

Contest winner will be announced through http://www.twatgeek.com and will be notified through email, Twitter or Facebook message.

Once a winner is selected and notified, he/she will have 72 hours to reply by email, Twitter or Facebook message. If the participant fails to respond in the allotted time, he/she forfeits the prize and another winner will be selected.

Winner will be announced on March 28, 2010.

As we announced a couple of months ago, by popular demand, we’ve been working on bringing you all the geeky goodness of our comic strip translated into Spanish. Well, here it is!  The World According to Geek: En Español! We’ve set up a gallery where you can browse Spanish versions of our weekly strip. Right now, the first three comic strips are online. We’re going to be translating a couple of them a week, from the first one onwards, so you can look forward for weekly updates there as well. It’s sometimes hard to translate jokes into a different language, but we’ll give it a shot.
