Great News!

SCHNICKLE HOSPITAL'S FIRST ISSUE IS OUT TOMORROW!

Yes - the long-awaited new comic, Schnickle Hospital (published by Brian O'Connell's Red Death Productions with B and B Productions) IS OUT TOMORROW! This grotesque, confusing, and somewhat nonsensical issue contains the topsy-turvy Smilio, Smilia, and Grinnigore Part I, which gives you a warning about ill strangers wearing top-hats, and Say Hello to Puffy!, a short but cruel tale that involves a stag skull and a closet.

It doesn't really make sense. OUT TOMORROW. COSTS TEN CENTS.

BOWLING BALL'S FIFTH FANTABULOUS EDITION IS COMING SOON!

Delight at Bowling Ball's marvelous adventures again as he defends Snig once more!

In this wonderful edition, our Phantom of Snig serial continues with the horrific Phantom of Snig Part II, in which Bowling Ball learns of the Phantom...and discovers what's under his mask. Also in this comic is a classic tale called The Superior Hero, where Bowling Ball is...what? REPLACED? Yes - there's a new hero in Snig, and his name is the Nameless. Bowling Ball, jealous of the Nameless, follows the ugly-looking guy to his home and discovers that all is not well in Snig. COMING SOON. COSTS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

Speaking of that particular story, Halloween's coming up, and we're going to make the most bone-chilling Bowling Ball stories yet in our Halloween issue Tales of Terror from the Bowling Alley. We'll be writing three new stories...and, if you liked The Partner in Crime! and The Cellar, we'll REPRINT them! Yes, you get to see three new epical stories while seeing old favorites! Tell your seller or comment on this post if you want this to happen.

We're very proud of our third issue. Brendan thinks its the best so far. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks.

Important Notices

NEW COMIC SERIES – YOU DECIDE!

Yes – due to recent requests, we here at B & B Productions have decided to let YOU, dear reader, choose our next comic series!
We have three ideas which we think are, as Bowling Ball would say, “epical.” So we'll let you vote for which one you want.
HOUSE OF CHEESEMAN
Cheeseman is one of Brendan’s first creations – and his favorite. Since we first invented him, we've created a whole colorful cast of characters and a wonderful history. So, when Cheeseman and his friends/enemies get trapped inside his new mansion during a dreadful storm, wonderful, crazy, and magical antics ensue. For those of you who have a copy of the Official B & B Showcase Book, we’ll be incorporating some of those awesome drawings into creepy, awesome, thrilling stories.
FROM THE DESK OF DETECTIVE LUFFAGUS
Detective Luffagus first appeared in our awesome movie Brendan O’Connell’s Worthington Manor, which starred Brendan himself as the crazy, kooky detective. It also featured Brian as the villainous Cornelius Worthington, our cousin Liam as partner in crime Dr. Neon, and our other cousin Anna as Miss Periwinkle. In this comic series, Detective Luffagus goes over his long history of “solving” crimes. Each edition, we get to see one of his case files – and what happened in that case. If this one gets nominated, we’ll start off with a graphic version of Worthington Manor itself.
SCHNICKLE HOSPITAL
This started out as a script by Brian called Smilio, Smilia, and Grinnigore, which was about two siblings who work at Schnickle Hospital that are menaced by a crazy person named Grinnigore. It was never produced. HOWEVER, we've decided to give it a chance as a comic. In this series, the siblings have crazy, unusual adventures in the hospital – and in several editions, we make Grinnigore appear! The grotesque art/writing of Brian O’Connell coupled with Brendan’s humorous art/writing makes this a very entertaining comic!

Well, there you have it! Pick which one you want and tell the person who gave you this week’s edition of Bowling Ball, or comment on this post. The results will be announced on Halloween.

TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PRE-ORDERED

Tales of the Grotesque

EDGAR ALLAN POE
We REALLY do hate to say this, folks, but, due to (reasonable) censorship, Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of the Grotesque will NOT be distributed on Halloween – or, for any other time. I was really eager for this project but the stories included are very violent and disturbing for the audience we're aiming at. We're sorry, but we cannot afford a school-parent scandal at our position. We hope you can forgive us, and we hope Mr. Poe (wherever he is now) can forgive us too. We strongly apologize. I really wanted to do it – heck, I came UP with the idea. But we've come to the realization that your parents will freak if they see you reading this. Thank you, faithful buyers, and sorry.

The Price

Recently, there has been some confusion over the price of our books. Up until now, they have been free of charge, but, due to the price of MAKING the comics, we have had to ask you for 50 cents on most books. The harder the book to make, the more expensive, the easier book to make, the less expensive. Thank you for your time.

The Marvelous Adventures of Bowling Ball - Summary

Here is a short overview of the Bowling Ball comic series. For those of you who read my http://red-deathproductions.blogspot.com, you'll know that I said I'd type this as soon as I finished my last article on there.
Bowling Ball was created by accident when a bad bowler accidentally threw him out the window and was struck by lightning. He lived as a thief for three decades, until one fateful day when the dreaded Spooky Spider attacked the town of Snig, where he lived.
Bowling Ball felt the urge to do something right and saved the day with his newly discovered super-powers. Now he's a super-hero, fighting monstrous, grotesque villains every day. Snig was never the same ever since the beloved hero came to life...and his name is -

BOWLING BALL!

Yeah, that's all you're getting. You have to buy the comic to find out what happens. Luckily, they don't cost much. The marvelous second edition comes out Friday. The comics are limited, so SIGN UP AND GET THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF The Marvelous Adventures of Bowling Ball!

Another book we're doing is a collection of horror stories by the greatest American writer of horror. Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of the Grotesque is out on Halloween. There are some dark stories in it, so not recommended for the nervous. Hop-Frog (Brendan) and the Red Death (yours truly) welcome you to Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of the Grotesque!
