1. Two weeks of strips on the lead character having writer's block
2. Numerous gags about how newspapers are failing because of inept management.
3. A mention in cover letter that you know you "could do better"
4. Requests to put you in touch with an artist AND a writer
5. Photos of you rollerblading

How about a pic of me playing Risk in full military napoleonic regalia?
I use that to land my last job.
