Dear Kickstarter backers! We are really in the home stretch. The lettering is done. The coloring is done. And I am looking at proofs as I place an order for some preview copies of the book. When this happens, I will look over the printed copy and make sure everything is on the up-and-up. During this time, I will also finish up the pinups for the book. And if everything goes well, I will place an order, and we will get these guys printed up!
I have a loose schedule that I am hoping to stick to, but various things may impede this. I've been hesitant to declare one too soon, because I don't want to disappoint anyone, but I think it is safe to estimate that I will spend the next month and change dealing with this sort of administrative part of production. I will hopefully be able to start mailing books out to all of you in March! Expect me to put together a survey for you all soon, so you can send your names, addresses, and sketch requests and the like. I will keep you posted!
Here are pictures of the proofs, so you can see what I see.

I will draw you into a full-color pinup, interacting with the Beast of Wolfe's Bay characters. You can fight Sasquatch, eat pie with the sheriff, or sit, bored, as Brian or Winifred lecture! Each pinup will go in the back of the book for everyone to see, but will not officially be part of the story itself. Plus, you'll get the PDF copy and print copy of the book, listed as a donor, and your name will also be on your page.

Plus, a full-color piece of commissioned artwork (your choice), plus the signed copy and PDF copy, of course.
