      Made your goal and then some. I picked up Recidivist and your CD at Fantagraphics a while back. Beautiful work!

      I like the way you do things. I also support local business and try to be as D.I.Y. as possible. I'm guessing you ride a motorcycle. Out of curiosity, what do you ride? (Oh yeah, please check out my kickstarter project.)

      Zak, you are an incredibly multitalented dude, I had no idea... so looking forward to getting a copy of the book. Wish I could afford the hard copy edition, but alas, alack... I cannot. Thank you for being awesome.

      Agreed. I'm not much of a comics person, but I bought the Sammy Comics on a whim and was really impressed. Make sure you head over to the La Mano website, I ordered a bunch more stuff...
