$35,000!
We've reached $35,000 in just under a week! Thank you so much! This means the books will include 8 new pages of extra content about the world and characters.
If we make it to $40,000, the books will also include an extra, exclusive short story about two characters we parted ways with in Chapter 0. Also, a new goal has been revealed: if we manage to raise $45,000, Cucumber Quest's regular update schedule will change to three days a week from July to December.
One more thing! If you were curious about the character prints, here are three that are currently in progress! I hope you like Panel de Pon as much as I do.

So I went and checked out Panel De Pon after you mentioned it in this post. Now I'm hopelessly swapping tiles. :<

Pledged! Gigi, why must you be so talented? It's not fair! :(
:)
I foresee a big future for you at Pixar with your wonderful colors!
Creator Brandon 'Link' Millward on April 27, 2012
I barely even know you but I'm so damn happy for you. The moment I laid eyes on this comic I knew it was something I wanted to have in print, and something I wanted to share with my future unborn children. As far as I'm concerned this is right up there with Skottie Young's Wizard of Oz series for Marvel.

Congratulations, I hope you get lots more pledges! I actually opened a Kickstarter account just for this <3
