More Rewards and a Video

Update #4 · Jul 23, 2012 · 14 comments

Hi everybody and in particular - YOU who are reading this email in the privacy of your darkest corner...(I know what you are up to)

I wanna thank you for your generous pledge. This is the absolute best way for me to make cartoons for you without pesky executives and middlemen second guessing every gag and drawing I do!

If this works for Cans I will bring you more cartoons - and maybe an art of Spumco book - I have tons of great art by Hollywood's top cartoonists to share with you!

I'm also thinking about doing a girl-centric cartoon that makes fun of us boys.

My main man, John K. 2 has just uploaded a new video for you to show you the galaxy of prizes I have in store for ya. (they don't like me to call them prizes so keep this just between us ok? ;) )

..and we are adding some rewards as we discover more buried treasures in my stinky garage storehouse of rat poo. I found a pile of rare Jimmy and Sody pencil enhancers. I'll offer some as single rewards and upgrade some of the bundles to include them.

I also wanted to ask you for your input. If you have anything you'd like to see in the rewards that I haven't thought of, send me a comment. If I am able to fulfill your fondest wish, I will do it! If not, I will weep silently under my truck.

Thanks again for your support and if you can please spread the word and twist the arms of your friends and relatives to make sure this cartoon gets made. Your grandpa will totally agree with George Liquor and think he is a great role model for you.

This is truly the way to bring back "Creator Driven Cartoons" and put you back in control of the fun you want to have but "THE MAN" won't let you get away with.

      Creator John Kricfalusi on July 23, 2012

      I will look into stickers. Any suggestion for companies that make 'em?

      A Muddy cereal bowl caddy would be great but toys cost too much to make! Maybe I will do a kickstarte campaign later to make toys.

      Creator Joshua King on July 23, 2012

      Yeah, maybe decals too!

      What about a signed self caricature with some faux-pithy platitude that I can frame and put above my desk?
