The Comic Torah is headed your way in 2010!

Update #7 · Jan 1, 2010 · 1 comment
"Where's the copy of The Comic Torah I paid for? It's been six weeks
since you got your funding. What's up? When will my book arrive
arrive?

Don't make me come down there." - YHWH

Here's the skinny:

Sharon and Aaron have been hard at work PERFECTING the book for publication, fixing small details, polishing jokes, adding headlines, and, most fun of all, preparing the pages that acknowledge you, our supporter, for your amazing work!
You can find the draft thank you pages below. And if we got your name wrong.... please, let us know!
We've also been looking at samples from printers. We're on the verge of making our choice. We hope to get our files to our chosen printer by the end of January.
After that, we'll be waiting with baited breath for our books to arrive.... which will take up to three months.
Sigh.
Such are the time frames of publishing. And as our supporter, you're a partner -- which makes you part of the publishing business as well.

With flaming mountains of grattude we wish you a wonderful 2010.
