Get Your Trumpets Out!

Once you have mastered the art of blowing your own trumpet, the most logical step is to sling your new-found talent at anyone and anything stupid enough to sit and listen to you. In my case that’s you (I’ve already bored my mum to tears and the cat’s left home).

So the team here at RubberDuckMag would like to duly show off their blowing skills by airing the fact that our dear little Duck has been nominated for ‘Car Magazine of the Year’ by DMA – the official awards body for outstanding achievement in the Digital Magazine Industry.

We still have 7-days to wait for the final announcement, but not wanting to waste an opportunity to make a hoopla I invite you to lean your support our way – ultimately by turning up the volume on your computer (in the more public and inappropriate place the better) and CLICKING the word TRUMPET!

Party Animal

Don’t we all act a little smug on our birthday? It’s hard not to I suppose, especially when a gaggle of guests gather around a similar creation of cake and candles (as seen in this picture) to sing your praises? Oh he’s a jolly good fellow indeed, but no matter how much this day is lay aside exclusively for present-giving, pampering and partying, no one should ever be subjected to the aggravated levels of arrogance displayed by this dog – his big day or not!

Though the team’s appointed ‘pat and pet’ man, I must admit that I’d struggle a stroke, never mind chuck a stick for this smug bastard. I mean just look at him. Out of shot is an orderly queue of eager party-goers patiently awaiting their turn to wipe that smug look from his face…

Not all dogs are this arrogant, as ardent readers of RubberDuckMag.Com will happily confirm (see previous ‘Digital Dogs’ blog entry); never an issue goes by without a friendly pooch of sorts casually splayed across a page or two – none more memorable than the Lamborghini Labrador, featured in the launch issue, and the random Retriever which gatecrashed issue two’s Caterham photoshoot. The latter can be found at the tail-end (page 15) of the current issue of Plastic Pig – RubberDuckMag.Com’s monthly newsletter. CLICK HERE to read Plastic Pig FREE today.

Digital Dogs

I’ve never personally been against featuring a dog or two in the pages of the magazines I work for: including my very own dear DuckMag. …which is probably why such a fine beast took the time out of his busy schedule to join the RubberDuck team on their Super 7/Scirocco shoot, for issue 2. A lovely surprise too, as we had no idea what his name was, or where he came from. CLICK HERE to check out the picture in our blog rag – Plastic Pig
