Scentsor the Skunk

Thanks to everyone who entered the Name the Skunk contest! You made dozens of suggestions, from Badger to Toldja to Officer Quibble. But in the end, I chose one I came up with myself. The contest became a guessing game, with a few helpful clues, and Susan was the first to guess correctly! I'm stoked, and I hope you are too. So stay tuned and you're sure to see more of Scentsor in upcoming toons!

Name the Skunk Contest

Readers, here’s another chance for you to have creative input into the “Dude, I’m An Aspie” universe! As you may know, it’s my tradition to crowdsource my character names.

The skunk cop is the enforcer of unwritten social rules. Stealthy and sly, this stickler goes strictly by the book. Always seen with his trademark helmet, he sneaks like a ninja, ready to pounce at the slightest infraction, whether premature email reply or double-parked derriere. Unflappable and streetwise, this scoundrel’s not afraid to cop a ‘tude, or get in your face to mix it up. So you best brush up on the social code, or you’re bound to butt heads when this weasel’s on the scene. But as much as he gets his kicks from ticketing, he'd just as soon get his groove on to the Harlem Shake.

The contest winner will receive a signed paperback copy of Dude, I’m An Aspie! original or kids’ edition!

Submit your entries in the comments below, post them on our Facebook, or tweet to me with the hashtag #nametheskunk.

Entries will be accepted through 7 PM Eastern time, Thursday June 13, 2013, or until a suitable name is chosen. Entries will be judged solely by me. Enter as many times as you want!

The skunk is great fun to draw and write for, and I enjoy the dynamic he brings to the comic. So don't be a stinker, enter your most creative idea! Let’s find a name for our funky skunky!
