8 Hours To Go! $2,805 Until Issue #3 Gets Fully Funded!
Title pretty much says it all... We're in the final few hours of this Kickstarter, and shockingly close to financing a third issue of Detective Honeybear. I honestly thought at this point we'd be pushing hard to meet our initial goal of $4,873. But since then, not only have we been able to expand our initial print to 3,000 copies (from 300!), but we're almost 50% of the way towards funding issue #3.
As this Kickstarter closes today at 5:30pm ET, I'm going to be in the middle of covering a screening for work, so I won't even know where we finished until later tonight. But wherever that is, from the bottom of my heart: thank you.
Oh, and just so you know we're actively working on this thing (Josh is almost done with roughs for the whole issue and they're AWESOME), here's a look at the first page of "Detective Honeybear and the Mystery of the Terrible Llamas":

I'll see what I can do, Gouv! I'm going to finish up this Kickstarter, and then look into the follow-up merch :)
Creator Gouv on September 20, 2012
A poster of this would be great!
Creator Alex Zalben on September 20, 2012
Thanks Fred! I kind of want to print this as a poster (maybe for cons?)
Creator Fred Chamberlain on September 20, 2012
Looks great!
