Apologies! (and a Prize!)

 EDIT: I won't be able to make my deadline of March 1. The update will happen a few days afterward. But the good news is that the update will be as large as the previous ones, though with more comics than usual.

My apologies to everyone waiting for an update. I've been planning one for the past two weeks and have been lagging behind. I actually have a good excuse: I'm extremely busy at work and have been taking it home with me. Plus, I have a personal commitment that involves a writing assignment.
I expect to have all that behind me next week--the update should happen before the end of the month soon. January and February are the deadest time of the year for media of any kind, let alone TF content, so I'll be dipping into my large and badly organized backlog of comics. I try to post only the best stuff out there. There are lots of transformation scenes which occur off-camera or cover up the transformation. Sadly, most TF scenes are like that! I could easily fill my blog with them every week. I refuse, so it takes more time to find acceptable material.

While you wait, take a look at the January and February updates at Dutchbull's site. My thanks to everyone who's written in suggesting various shows and movies--I'm still processing many messages, so pardon my slowness.

And now for something completely different!

For the first time, I'm offering a prize to anyone who can track down an obscure comic from my adolescence.
In 1993 I was on a family vacation in Italy. At a rest area I went into a shop and saw a comic that involved a guy who beat up several people and then got on his motorcycle and drove off. But as he sped away, he transformed into a bear, bursting his clothes in the process!
That's all I remember. I was 12 years old at the time. 22 years have passed since then

If you know what this comic is and can tell me the title and issue number, you will receive the Silver Werewolf Prize. This involves a $30 reward. Plus, I will devote a blog post to anything you want.

If you can actually send me the comic--either digital scans or a physical copy--I will give you the Golden Werewolf Prize. $50 (plus reimbursement of purchase and/or shipping costs), a blog post devoted to anything you want, and I will also write a TF story or draw a TF sequence based on anything you want (I'm not a prolific writer, but you can find two examples of my work here. As for art, I think I'm a decent draftsman, but you'll have to take my word for it!)

Just to remind you, this comic was published in Europe no later than 1993 and involves a man getting on a motorcycle and turning into a bear. Though Italian, it could be a translation of a European comic.

Rules: Only one silver and one golden prize will be given. The first to answer will win. I can send the money through Paypal (preferred), check, international money order, or Google wallet. The story will not go above 10 single-spaced pages. The art will be a one or two page sequence in black and white. Story or art will be delivered within a month from notification of winning status.

To contact me, use the "Send me a howl!" form to the right. Tracking down this comic will be difficult, so best of luck!
