A whole football team signs for Copyright Promotions! To be precise, it’s “Joe’s Football Team”.

Big Joe is one of the richest men in the world. All his life he has been plump and far from sporty. When he was young he was laughed at, picked on and no one ever selected him for their team. Today Joe is one of the richest men on Earth and owns a chain of popular fast food restaurants. To prove all his childhood bullies wrong, he buys his own football team. Premium kickers now play under Big Joe’s colours. Sad to say, his plans all go awry. Each of the players is a real artist with the ball, but they are all lone fighters and unwilling to form a team. Joe’s Team loses every match and is relegated to the Third League. Only when sexy paramedic Lisa Love takes over and fights down their resistance against a female trainer, they start growing together as a proper team. New tactics and their team concept start to pay off, first victories are gained. Their brand-new motto: “Born to win” boosts the morale and cheers them to unexpected heights.

Joe’s racy stories are based upon a creation by Joe Kroesen, designer and artist from Munich. Having been a pudgy boy himself, he wants to encourage overweight children to prove that success does not depend on weight. “Joe’s Football Team is hilarious and educational at the same time. The story conveys values like team spirit and endurance. What is more, I want to motivate children – the thick and the thin alike – to go in for sports”, said Joe Kroesen.

Kroesen is currently working on several comic books; a novel is in the offing. In addition, he assists Copyright Promotions with several licensing projects. Prototypes for cups and schoolbags have already been produced. “We are currently looking for partners in various product categories”, said Joachim Knödler, Sales and Retail Director, Copyright Promotions.
