First Stretch Goal Made

Okay...WOW.  Thank you all for your support!  We've reached our first stretch goal!

A temporary tattoo, postcard and sticker set will be included with all mailed levels!

The Deluxe Hardcover Explored
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 08:18:45 PM

We are bringing you something very unique with the Hardcover versions.  First, we are including the FULL COLOR pages PLUS the INKS.  The goal of this version is not to be an Artist's Edition, but to give you a manageable sized book to enjoy the artwork both in color and in black and white.  Hence the name 'Deluxe" over "Artists Edition".

WHAT'S INSIDE

To bring this unique book to you at an affordable price (matching the pricing on most artists edition books even though we are FULL COLOR and DOUBLE the page count!).  We're blowing them out of the water.


HARDCOVER SPECS

WHAT ELSE IS INSIDE THE BOOK?

We're going to introduce you to Eggbird and "Out There" with Koffe and the Dude along with extras that originally appeared in the printed newspapers as well as fan letters.

BOTH THE TRADE PAPERBACK AND HARDCOVERS HAVE SEPARATE DESIGNERS CREATING UNIQUE BOOKS

While the content is similar in both books, the designs are different.  Here is a sample of the design from the Deluxe versions:

Kickstarter Add on Tutorial
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 06:48:41 PM

Kickstarter has added on a cool new feature so you don't have to do the math and your add ons are broken down for you!  Everything is scary the first time, so he's a quick tutorial to show you what to expect.  In this example we are going to order a Trade Paperback and another for a friend

(1) DECIDE ON YOUR PLEDGE LEVEL

(2) SELECT THE LEVEL AND CONTINUE

(3) SELECT YOUR ADD ON

(4) DECIDE HOW MANY TO ADD ON

(5) IF THAT LOOKS GOOD - CONTINUE

(6) YOUR PLEDGE AND ADD ONS ARE BROKEN DOWN - CHECK OUT AS USUAL!

That's it!  During checkout you will have an all the items added to your order. 

This is still BETA and the first time we've used it so there's bound to be glitches and errors.  Please point them out and let me know if you have ANY problems!  

FUNDED! Thank you for your support!

It's taken us over 5 years, nearly $100,000, and more than a few writers and designers to get this far.


I will be posting updates on peaking inside the book, FAQs and more in the upcoming days.  Email us at [email protected] with questions or use the comments section.  We will be checking often and answering as quickly as we can.


We are excited to be bringing you both the Trade Paperback AND the Hardcover edition.  We were going to split them out, but due to delays caused by COVID, we decided it was best to just get them out there.  


SANTA CARDS/GIFT CERTIFICATES - We have designers working on the Santa Card (sans cigarette) and the certificate you can give instead of the book as a gift (or keep as a keepsake).  We should have those to post by tomorrow!

Campaign shows Santa holding a cigarette (the original version) - Shown here is Steve's mock up. Our designer is typesetting it then we will create the card!
