Beth Bragg : When it comes to Life game parody, how Big and Wild can you get?

Woohoo! Dr. Sketchy's first BIG WILD Media Mention in Anchorage.

From Beth Bragg's column:

"As one big wild parody bit the dust and another gained momentum last week, one thing's apparent: Like it or not, Anchorage's new slogan is catching on.

"Ever since the unveiling of the Big Wild Life branding campaign three months ago, the curiously unpunctuated slogan has become both a punchline and a catchphrase.

"There's still more mocking than there is praise, and there's that embarrassing business about the bear-scat logo being a "placeholder" until a real (read: new and improved) logo could be designed. But you can't deny the phrase has insinuated itself into our vocabulary.

"The Imaginarium is organizing a summer camp for kids called Big Wildlife. Bernie's Bungalow is planning an adults-only drawing class and calling it Dr. Sketchy's Big Wild Life. An arts organization is hyping its Big Wild Opera. And everywhere you turn, someone's cracking a big wild joke."

Its not much but its a mention and for a sunny Sunday morning in May two weeks before our inaugural Dr. Sketchy its just enough to make me smile.
