For four years Whatisdeepfried.com has been bringing comics, animation and outrage to a universe hungry for greasy, high cholesterol comedy. And from the beginning one person has been there on the frontlines, tirelessly baking cookies and knitting scarves for the underpriviledged workers at Deep Fried world headquarters. That person is Nana.

Nana. A kind-hearted old woman who wandered into our building one day and couldn't find the exit. She soon became our office mascot, charming the staff with her quaint disorientation and requiring little more than a saucer of milk a day to keep her happy.

But these are hard times for the comic industry. Deep Fried needs all its milk money to get issue #5 into stores by December. And that being the case, we may have to ship Nana to a Nana farm upstate...unless YOU save her!



The goal of the 2004 Nanathon is to raise the $1700 dollars that Nana consumes every year in milk and Centrum, thereby allowing us to use our own money to print and advertise Deep Fried #5, certain to be our funniest issue yet, and finally put the Deep Fried comic book back on a regular schedule.

If Whatisdeepfried.com can raise $1700.00 by August 1st, the deadline to get our submission into the major comics catalogs, Deep Fried will officially become self sufficient, enabling us to adopt a quarterly schedule and giving us just the excuse we need to pump out even more outrageous humor! With a new regular animated feature launching this summer, now is the time to let Whatisdeepfried.com know that our efforts to warp the culture and bring down the Humungous are not in vane! On August 1st, you can grant Deep Fried its sovereignty!

And if you don't come through for Nana? Then my friends, Deep Fried #5 will have to be mothballed, and Nana DIES. For good. Retired from our website forever in a farewell cartoon and replaced by a cheaper mascot that doesn't crap its pants quite so often. Perhaps a piece of toast.


NANA NEEDS YOU! Saving Nana couldn't be easier! Simply go to our products page and purchase as many of our fine comics and T-shirts as you can! Deep Fried is the most outrageous comic you can buy without a prescription, and the Sack of Crap and Bundle of Joy package deals are the best values you'll find anywhere on the Internet or parts of Kentucky.

Buy! Then, SPREAD THE WORD! The Nanathon will need your help to reach all the young hipsters who have privately been nursing a hunger for just the kind of weirdness this website offers. Anyone you can reach by blog, Usenet or instant message is someone Nana's life is depending on!

And what will you get for all this trouble? Nothing! Nothing at all! Not a single Got Damn thing!!

Except prizes.


YES WE DID! From now until August 1st, everyone who purchases a product off this website (by credit card or mail order) or who donates to this site through Pay Pal, will be eligible to win the awesome, Nantastic prizes that will be awarded if our goal is reached!*

10 third place winners will receive a "Please Don't Let Them Kill Nana!" T-shirt!

5 second place winners will each get a page of original Deep Fried artwork!

And one Grand Prize winner will recieve the T-shirt, a page of artwork, and will appear in the final Nanathon cartoon to officially SAVE NANA!

The 2004 Nanathon is your chance to give us our chance to make Whatisdeepfried.com more than just a pet project. Comics, animation and the antiwar struggle eat up a lot of time, but we'll happily let it eat up more time if we can turn things around and make this enterprise pay! We thank all those people whose frequent visits to this site have gotten us this far, and we hope you will participate in this fundraiser and help us take Deep Fried to the next level!


*Winners will be chosen at random from a list of all entrants. Prizes will be shipped September 1st. Soylent Green is people.
