Matthew Reidsma’s got a wife and two cats and a comic strip. What more could a guy ask for? Nothing, really. Which is why it’s time for Reidsma to start sharing the wealth. You know what that means, kids - it’s contest time!

High Maintenance Machine, Reidsma’s daily webcomic, has now consistently produced 600 strips. It’s an impressive anniversary, considering he basically started cartooning 600 days ago. Strips don’t get posted every day since Reidsma doesn’t have regular internet access, but he’s diligent about posting back-dated comics as quick as he can. Read ‘em all at reidsrow.com.

In honor of the occasion, Reidsma has challenged you all to a contest! The rules are simple, just draw your own High Maintenance Machine strip and submit it to the man himself by March 20th and you could win a super cool t-shirt that will encourage you to “Draw Comics Every Day.” It’s good motherly advice. Even necessary to your health. Like vitamins.

GO HERE to learn everything you need to know about the contest, and look under the cut to see a High Maintenance Machine strip Reidsma made exclusively for you, kindly Cross Hatch reader.
