Hey everyone, the book files have been sent to the printer and will be headed to print shortly!

Soon, you’ll receive an email from me with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as  you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before I close the surveys and get the final counts.

48 hours to go and onto Stretch Goal #4!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 15, 2021 at 09:54:09 AM

We have just about 2 days left in the campaign and as of yesterday we passed Stretch Goal #3. I think we have enough momentum that we could squeeze in one more stretch goal.

If we can reach $1925, each physical backer pledge will receive a set of two mini buttons (1").

Let's end this campaign strong by knocking out another stretch goal and sharing the campaign with your friends and family!

Turner Family Terrors 1-2: Horror-Comedy-Adventure

A new comic starring monster-slaying, foul-mouthed, bumbling adventurers The Turner Family! Think The Simpsons meets Hellboy.

TURNER FAMILY TERRORS is an irreverent horror/comedy/adventure with heart. TFT follows the sweet, suburban, but utterly dysfunctional Turner Family,  as they discover their five-year-old daughter is the Princess of  Darkness--no big deal--and must protect her when the forces of EVIL  attempt to harness her power. Oh, and they have to save the world from a  fiery Apocalypse, there's that too.

Stretch Goal #2 Unlocked!!!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, May 12, 2021 at 09:04:54 AM

We are currently sitting just over $1,700 raised, which means Stretch Goal #2 is now unlocked, which will add 8 more pages to the booklet, rounding it out to a nice 40 pages.

The third stretch goal, which will be unlocked after we reach $1,825 in funding is a die-cut vinyl sticker of Joe Black, my beloved scorpion character, as drawn by guest artist John Edingfield II, creator of the comic Rancidville.

Here's a preview of the design.

Let's end this campaign strong by knocking out another stretch goal or two!

Would you like a Print with that? New pledge level added to BTS Vol. 3 Kickstarter
almost 3 years ago – Sun, May 09, 2021 at 10:02:27 AM

As of this morning, a new pledge level has been added to the Based on a True Story Vol. 3 campaign.

At this pledge level, you can pick out ANY Dust Bunny Mafia comic (Based   on a True Story series or otherwise), and I will print it out on 8x10   photo paper and sign it for you. This comes in addition to the Based on  a  True Story booklet, and the Kickstarter exclusive campaign poker  chip.

We are currently sitting just under $1,550 raised, which means that we're just over $100 away from unlocking Stretch Goal #2, which will add 8 more pages to the booklet. This will round it out to a nice 40 pages.

Up next a few awesome projects I wanted to highlight by other creators that I've backed (and think you'll love, too!):

1) Mandrill P.I. #1 by Chris Brimmage

Mandrill P.I. is a noir detective tale for cartoon lovers. A hardboiled detective uncovers a plot full of corruption & MAD SCIENCE. If he can learn to rely on his friends, then he MIGHT survive.

If you like my comic, Mandrill P.I. should be right up your alley.

2) The 13th Labor by Shaun Keenan

A story of gods, ghosts and an intergalactic tournament of champions.

Set against the backdrop of an intergalactic Tournament of Champions, The 13th Labor is the story of a demi-god seeking forgiveness for his past and a  sixteen year old girl, who in order to save her home, must find a solace  of her own.

So join Hercules, Pippa and Hermes and the rest of The 13th Labor  creative team on this crazy adventure and help us bring it to life!
