Man I think I am done messing with this picture. Chris is right, I originally had Bud, and then I had it flipped horizontally. Then I changed the wording a couple of times. I have been so nit-picky about this, its driving me nuts (look at chuck's face for "nuts" reference).

Anyways, thanks everybody for the input. I still need to work on another photo for the challenge. Now feel free to check out Chuck's softer side.

Don't know what you guys were talking about, but I know I like Phil's words:

"Stuck? Need a truck? Call Chuck!"

Sounds perfect for this pic if you ask me (aam1234).

This *is* better, but I've had another thought on the wording, as using "stuck" (albeit in variant form) twice seems wrong... so, how about:
"Stuck? Need a truck? Call Chuck!"

Hope it was not too much work, blademeister? I am obviously biased... and like this version better. :-) With kind regards ~jnconradie

This is so good it's a lot better than the real thing. Super (photographic) work there --- aam1234

If things don't work out at your current job. I think you have a new career path. 8-)

This damn thing is freaking me out. Wasn't Chuck, Bud, and wasn't Chuck on the other side? From a design stand point this works much better leading you into the text. However, Chuck is freaking me out, I ain't call'in him.

I'm with Nico - "Stuck? Call Chuck; Get Unstuck". Perfect.

No problems at all, blademeister. Fully understood. It is a really stunning entry. And "Chuck" deserves an honorary mention, at least, for his contribution! :-) Regards ~jnconradie

Thanks for the comments. I actually did contemplate using only "Call Chuck & Get Unstuck", but didn't feel like it conveyed enough of that you are calling Chuck for a tow. I may work on that again, but I didn't save my work flow, so I would have to do the whole ad over again. That's Chuck alright, see the name on the shirt?

Really nicely done... and yes, that expression is "priceless", to steal from TheFly's earlier entry. (I was wondering whether you could make the copy even stronger if you leave out the "Tow", so that it reads, "Stuck? ... Call Chuck's ... Get Unstuck ..." with the three key words then sort of vertically positioned. Just a thought.) Well done. Regards ~jnconradie

:-) I love, love, love the expression on Chuck (assuming that the guy on the left is Chuck); it just makes the photo for me. :-D

Cheers, Vikas.
