Hide And Seek With the Tapastic Mascot

[Random_Guy]

Okay, here's a fun idea, don't know how it'll go.
Let's play hide and seek!

Here's how it works:
Somewhere in your next comic upload, hide the Tapas Guy. It must be a comic on Tapastic.


Don't make it too hard, but make it decently challenging. The first person to find him needs to screenshot him and post the picture in this thread, or accurately describe his location so someone can confirm. Then it's their turn to hide him!

If no one finds him in three days, the original poster must reveal where they hid him, and then someone else may claim the next hiding opportunity.

Whoever wants to hide him first needs to claim it, and let us know when he's hidden, plus what episode he's in. You can only post the episode for self-promotion once you hide the Tapas Mascot.

I don't know how much fun this is gonna be, but I hope it's decently enjoyable.

So, who wants to hide him first?

[DeformedSunflower]

Gah, this is such a shame. I want to participate, but I've already scheduled the next episode and it's a pretty tense one, so it'll mess the rhythm up if I suddenly include a cute mascot there...

Guess I'm passing on this one.

[Random_Guy]

Ah, that's a shame, but no worries.
I suppose you can always pop in later down the line.

[VibrantFox]

This seems really fun but I'm not sure when I'll be updating; hopefully someone considers so I can jump in later

[TheGentleArtist]

Now, are we able to hide parts of the mascot or the whole mascot has to be visible, but just hidden in a sneaky spot

[Random_Guy]

I'd prefer to keep the mascot whole, but if you want to do something clever like hide it partially behind something or put it on a dark background or even make it (reasonably) small I'd be okay with that.

The mascot must be whole. Can't just hide different bits of it around the panels.

We aren't dicing up the mascot just yet.

This is such a fun and cute idea. Is there a deadline to it? Id' like to hide the mascot somewhere, but my next three pages don't have a space for it.

[Random_Guy]

Eh, long as you claim it first, though I’d prefer you claim the choice when you know it’ll happen soon.

Don’t want people waiting too long, you know?

[TheGentleArtist]

I'll claim it. My comic is coming up later today as I post this reply; when posted, do I show my episode as to signal that it is now hidden?

[Kann]

Yeah, over a week from now might be too long.

[Random_Guy]

Yep, link us to the episode so we know it’s hidden and in what episode.

That way we can get hunting!

[TheGentleArtist]

Okay, I'll see to it then.

[TheGentleArtist]

Alright, the comic is posted and the mascot is hidden here in episode 2: https://tapas.io/episode/1722792

[Random_Guy]

I'm hunting for it, but I'm kinda bad at hide and seek. Never been the most observant.

It's gonna feel so obvious when someone finds it.

[Random_Guy]

I did want to ask, what would people think of adding a time limit?
Like, X number of days to find the mascot before the poster reveals it and someone else can claim it, just to keep things moving along?

[TheGentleArtist]

I say that an addition of a time limit would be nice

[Random_Guy]

Let's say... three days?

[TheGentleArtist]

Yeah, that should work

[DualDragons]

Wait there might be a flaw in this thread. You can't actually screenshot on tapas when reading someone's work (atleast not from the app, i dunno about the desktop version).

[Random_Guy]

Oh, sh#t, you're right.

Oh well, I guess just describe where it's hidden so someone can confirm.
