When was Episode I shot?
August 2005. The site went live about one year later. Yeah, we were lazy.
When was Episode II shot?
We finished the script in November 2006 and shot it in February 2007. It went web-live days later.
Who drew/wrote the Agent Bud comics?
Jacques Crabbe, naturally.
When was Episode III shot?
Photography and script were done in July 2007. It went live in January 2008.
Anything for Episode IV?
We've started on the
script already. (The theme is "boobs.") We're also simultaneously working on more comics.
Why BudDry.com?
Why ask why? Try Bud Dry. What a silly name for a beer. Um, it's “dry”?! Whatever. It's an easy product name to parody.
What's next?!?
Expect more plays on the bud dry name. We have a comic strip about an impotent fungus in the works... you know, an asexual spore? Get it? Bud Dry? Ugh... And we've also got a marijuana curing device called... you guessed it, Bud Dry, in the queue. (“You can dry your weed in it!”) We'll also have more barroom/hotel adventures with Bud and his dry wit. And probably some more cleavage too. Guys like soaked breasts after all.
Do they even still make Bud Dry?
Yes. It's readily available in some markets. In others, like ours, you have to ask your local distributor to stock it at a local store. On Anheuser-Busch's site, they say, "Bud Dry is brewed with balanced hop character offering full flavor but a very clean, less-sweet finish."
Is Bud Dry a good beer?
We like it. It's crisp and light. Very little aftertaste. Perfect by the pool or in the hot tub.
Won't you get sued by Budweiser?
No, not successfully at least. We're well aware of our rights under intellectual property laws. Our legal advisors assure us our parody is protected. Other companies (that we can't name because of settlement terms,) have unsuccessfully tried to muscle us around before but our lawyers are keen... and strong. Their powers are huge. Worst case scenario, they'd make us an offer we couldn't refuse for the domain and we'd reluctantly move the content elsewhere. If Anheuser-Busch is smart, they'll purchase some advertising from us!
Who are those hot chycks with the cleavage? (most frequent question)
They want to remain partially anonymous... to avoid the sort of person who'd ask this question.
I want to write/draw/act/pose/etc. for you. Can I?
Maybe. Send us an email with your credentials.
Do you make any money from this?
Not enough to cover our expenses. One can hope though... ad revenue of $25.09 through 1/2008... We've almost covered the production (beer) expenses for Episode I!
Why do it then if it costs you?
It's fun!
How do I advertise on buddry.com?
Email us (below) for details, or just do it through Google. It *might* be nice to worry about making a profit some day. |
