Chris posing with Sting, Ricky Steamboat, and his wife and Ric Flair. With added watermelons to each picture. The point being that he wants you to be in his comic book, Barricade Brigade. To do that, all you gotta do is post a picture of yourself, your kids, your pet, with a watermelon. Could be eating it. Could be holding it. Could be standing next to the big bins currently in grocery stores. Post it, use the hashtag #HotWatermelon and tag @longboxpunk & @punkrockkris and you will be addded to the back of the comic! But you gotta do it sooner than later, because we stop accepting pictures on 7/18 so we can finalize the pages for print.
Listen… I don’t wanna call people out by name; again.
But I do want to tell YOU to!
Text your homies/friends/fellow creators to post their #HotWatermelon pictures this weekend while they are hanging out at the pool. Or at least before Friday 7/18!
I’d 💜 to add 5 more & my OCD happy (alt text)
