Hi again

so far I have returns for:
Jay Smith
Joshua Resnick
can you guys send your addresses again so I can check them against where we sent them?
Thanks!
John
Hi folks
It's not that much of an update because we are still negotiating with a TV network to finish the animation, air the pilot and spin off a series.
It's all laid-out and much rough animation is done.
Here's what the ruff animation looks like:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lqyv7tnmet13fv0/preview%20clips%20for%20Kickstarter%20Donors.zip
I am still getting comments asking about when the rewards come, so I guess not everyone is reading the updates, so I'm not sure how to let the people who miss them understand that:
The rewards will be shipped when the cartoon is done, otherwise we'd have to ship twice for each person and that would cost twice as much.
The only other solution I can think of would be to ship the rewards early and then instead of shipping an actual physical DVD with them, we could make a web page where you could download the video file and the DVD cover art. But then you'd have to put it on your own disk.
That might work for some of you, but maybe not for others.
Any ideas?
Anyway, we think you will like the finished cartoon because it's pretty elaborate, wacky and full of surprises. Thanks too much for your patience.
I am dying to show you more clips but am afraid it might spoil the thrill of watching the whole cartoon.
But I will if you want me to. I'll at least upload some more screen grabs for you while you wait.
Hang on to your hats. BTW, the Spumco comics we drew in the 90s are being reprinted in hard cover compilations from IDW. Lots of George Liquor stories in there to tide you over.
Thanks loads and loads and please hang on.
Your pal,
John
