Ookoodook Shipping Progress, in Handy Graph Format
This update will be more pictures than words, but I wanted to show you this while the information on it was still fresh. Here's a graph I made with the current progress for Ookoodook shipping:

That last line is the most important: Ookoodook has shipped 62% of their packages—and 83% of those that aren't waiting on Sticky Shticks. Actually, a little more, since this number is from Monday night, and they packed yesterday and today as well. A couple of notes:
1.) "Stragglers" represent any order that got delayed for any reason and needs to be handled (or handled again) at the end of the process. This includes (but are not limited to) orders where:
- Customer filled out their survey late (after May 8th, in most cases)
- Customer hasn't filled out their survey at all yet
- Customer didn't include enough funds for international shipping
- Customer didn't include enough funds for all items claimed on their survey
- Customer made a special request or alteration of their package
- Customer requested that we hold their package until a given date due to travel
- Something happened internally that knocked the package to the back of the line
In some cases, it may look like there are zero stragglers for a given reward level, but I included an orange bar for every level because they have a knack for popping up later.
1a.) If you do not have your package (or a shipping email) for a reward that is listed above as shipped, then your package is (by definition) included among the stragglers. Please don't email me at this time asking whether we "lost" your order. There will be a point where I ask everyone reading who does not have their packages yet to email me and say something, but right now, it will just create additional work for everyone and not actually get your package to you any sooner.
2.) Some reward levels require more detailed handling because every order has different book choices—warehouse staff can't simply pack 100 of the same book and then go back and put the different pieces of swag in. For now, they're mostly skipping over those and working on the more straightforward packages first, in order to get as many customers served as quickly as possible. They'll go back to them after the easy ones are packed and shipped.
3.) There may be numerical errors. Math is hard.
4.) This chart does not include the packages that I'm signing and mailing; those will be tracked on the normal Workometer.
5.) I'm only going to update this chart once a month or so, because it requires getting detailed information from the warehouse. Unlike, say, the Workometer:

I recognize that's a little anemic, progress-wise, but a lot of stuff conspired to keep me away from the computer this past week. At least I still have...
Five Things I Did Since the Last Update
- That shipping chart. Look at that thing. It took forever.
- Answered a ton of email (again). Including more reports of another box of misprinted coloring books that went out. If you got one, message me and I'll put you on the list to get replacement copies.
- Found and mailed a handful of signed packages that I had somehow overlooked. So as of tomorrow, they should all be in the mail except for the Sticky Shticks international packs. Really.
- Dealt with stupid personal crap that I've been putting off for months.
- FInally finished the overdue line art version of A Monster for Every Season: Spring. I've edited the link into the original download posts (Updates #37 and #38), and I'll be making another update in a few minutes with a link as well.
My priority for this week now is to get a comic out, then try to get to more of those digital rewards. But the regular comic has to come first; that's why you're all here, right? Still, I hope by this time next week to have some more green bars lit up on the Workometer.
Thanks, as always, for your patience.

I've been impatiently waiting for so long that I keep looking at the shipping graph to assure myself that they have in fact started shipping my reward level. Thanks for the graph Rich, it made a lot of waiting people a lot happier.
Creator Vili Robert on July 12, 2012
Got my $68 package (Finland) as well. Looks great! (Incidentally, I had already forgotten about the hit point pad and the coloring book - which has no print problems whatsoever, btw - completely, so finding them in the envelope alongside the magnet was a pleasant surprise.)
Creator Frenge on July 12, 2012
Cuddles you made me LOL :P
Creator kernowgirl on July 12, 2012
Got my $68 package! Everything looks fantastic! Off to read!
Creator Cuddles on July 12, 2012
Woo! Mine arrived! Unfortunately I accidentally stabbed myself in all the excitement of opening the box, but it turns out the book covers wipe clean just fine. Also, now I've finished them. Could you write some more please? :)
Creator Beau Lepper on July 12, 2012
@ Peter - Had not even considered that. Lets see....~2000 sticky schticks, plus another ~750 added on to the non-"you-pick x" items that they already skipped us for. So, if they wind up doing all those that's somewhere close to 4000 packages. Guess it'd be a nice Christmas present in that case
Creator Leia Barrett on July 12, 2012
I'm a little worried about receiving my package because I'll be moving in mid-August. This is due to the fact I ordered a package with the Sticky Schticks. How do I change the mailing address? I'm not in any hurry-- I just want to make sure the awesome swag gets where it needs to be. :D
Creator Joshua Megerman on July 12, 2012
My package is easy, pretty much one of everything (well, there's extra coloring book). Of course, since it's waiting on Sticky Schticks, it's still gonna be a bit. Oh well, at least I know it shouldn't have to wait too long once they're done :)
Creator Peter Cohen on July 12, 2012
@Beau. I'm at the same level and that's what I think too. The main potential for disruption that I can see is if the Sticky Shticks arrive before Ookoodook get round to our level. It depends whether they make a policy decision that the Shticks packages had later ship dates and are therefore lower priority than the non-Shticks ones or a pragmatic one that they are simpler than the pick and mix packages and therefore more people can receive their packages earlier if the simple Shticks packages are done next.
Also we're entering the convention season, so I don't know how many staff will be going to ComicCon, GenCon etc..
Creator DavidB on July 12, 2012
Thanks for all the effort, Rich,and at least from one fan: take your time, no hurries.
Creator Beau Lepper on July 12, 2012
So I'm looking at another 2-4 weeks or so since I'm at the $78 level? Since based on the update they'll be skipping me and doing another 1200 odd shipments before they even try to loop back around to my level if I understood correctly. Super.
Creator Sean Baker on July 12, 2012
So what you are saying is you have spent the past few weeks making shipping charts?
Me too!!
Creator Rich Burlew on July 12, 2012
@TheChosenOne: I could, but doing so would take time. Then I'd have to update the chart immediately to reflect that time spent making charts, which would take more time, causing me to update the chart again, and so on in an infinite loop for the rest of eternity. So I'd prefer not to.
Creator Peter Cohen on July 12, 2012
Four more blocks coloured of which the most intereting is that the Belkar story is fully plotted. Hopefully we can see that advancing intermixed with the drawing packages.

Can you make a chart showing how much time you spend making charts?
Creator Rahul Kukreja on July 12, 2012
man after looking at all those numbers i hope the people at ookoodook take a day off or something , looks like they earned it!
Creator sheepdean on July 12, 2012
My package (print only) came on Tuesday, but to my old address, after I gave you my new one - it's all fine and the person there now gave it to me, but that could mean there's an issue with Oookookdook manually updating addresses, so just a heads up. Thanks for the package, it's amazing!
Creator Rich Burlew on July 12, 2012
@Helajustauser: Message me about it. I'm sure we can do that.
Creator Elizabeth Heller on July 12, 2012
Hey Rich, the line art looks lovely! Only one problem with it: the grey circles (the ones that read 10 cents, 25 cents, etc.) are covering up the names of the OotS mini figures! You forgot to make those circles transparent or something. This only happened on the OotS gang, the rest of the monsters all have their names intact.
Hope you're keeping cool in this hot summer weather :) You're awesome, keep up the great work.
Creator Heisjustauser on July 12, 2012
Dear Rich,
would it be possible to check with Ookoodook to delay a package some more? I will be away on vacation half of August and have more complicated PICK THREE (OR MORE) BOX (i.e. 5 books). So I am worrying that it will by shipped in August arrive when I am away and sit at customs. Depending on who is doing the delivery handling in Germany it will then be returned to sender within 14 days. I do not like that to happen.
Creator Joseph King on July 12, 2012
Just got my package on Monday! Got a little beat up in shipping, but I'll live :D
Thanks for all the hard work Rich!
Creator John Thompson on July 12, 2012
Okay... if I read it right, my category ($94 pick three) is 100% not-shipped, and I'm in the sub-category of needing sticky-shtick as well. This is "okay" by me -- as I understand it, Ook has a lot of individual customization for these packages, since it's a "pick three" category rather than a "A, B, and C" one.
Besides, I finally found my (signed) Paladin Blues copy, which was hidden in plain sight.
Creator Rich Burlew on July 11, 2012
@Greg Coughlin: My understanding is that all owed pads were already mailed out, almost immediately upon getting the pads in. Message me and I'll check on it for you.
Creator Greg Coughlin on July 11, 2012
I was curious, what's the status on finishing packages that were shipped before the HP pads were ready? Are they being saved for the end or will you guys be catching up on them as you go? To be clear, I'm not being impatient, just curious. I have nothing but respect for everything you and the guys at Ookoodook are going through, Rich.
Creator Rich Burlew on July 11, 2012
@Valdir Bruxel Junior: The above chart includes both domestic and international orders combined. Ookoodook is mailing them concurrently; only the autographed packages that I mailed were separated out that way.
Creator schala on July 11, 2012
Lotsa kudos to the Ookoodook staff for keeping things moving. I hope they realized what they were getting into when this Kickstarter ended. ^_~
Creator Valdir Bruxel Junior on July 11, 2012
just for some information, can you tell how are the orders for the overseas packages ?
Creator Karan Juneja on July 11, 2012
Thanks for the update Rich! I can hope from that chart that we're not far from getting the Whole Story packages shipped :D
Creator Connor Levine on July 11, 2012
I'm a little worried that you're going to collapse after all this crap. If you die, then we'll never find out how OOTS ends!
...o-oh, and you'll be dead, which would be tragic and sad and sadgic.
Creator Thagorn on July 11, 2012
@Arthur some people who donated at the $10 level want all the digital rewards but don't want to bother having anything shipped (namely the magnet). To save the bother of shipping just the magnet 429 people declined to receive the magnet.
Creator Rich Burlew on July 11, 2012
@Keith: Whoops, yeah, that's an oversight. It will affect the overall percentages, but none of those packages will have shipped regardless due to the Sticky Shticks.
@Arthur Schmoul: The $10 survey allowed customers to decline us shipping them a magnet if they were only pledging because they wanted the digital rewards. 429 people chose that option.
Creator Alistair on July 11, 2012
Thanks for taking the time to make that chart, Rich. It's great to know where things sit.
Creator Tony Mason on July 11, 2012
Absolutely love the Monster for Every Season!
Creator Arthur Schmoul on July 11, 2012
Oh and by the way, what's the "Customer Declined Magnet" category ?
Creator Keith on July 11, 2012
@Rich, I don't see the $295 level in the chart and the description for that level doesn't say anything about signing (I know it's being held due to the Sticky Shticks.)
Creator Céline .S. Sauvé on July 11, 2012
Heehee. The colour-it-yourself Dragon is still marked as a Green one. Be a rebel, folks! Pick another pencil!
Creator Arthur Schmoul on July 11, 2012
Of course... I had to be in those 12% who are neither in the mailed category nor the sticky shtick one :-) Damn, whyyy meee :-)
Creator Rich Burlew on July 11, 2012
@Asaris: Message me. I'll sort it out.
Creator Asaris on July 11, 2012
If I got the wrong books, who should I contact? I emailed Ookoodook, but I haven't heard back.
Creator Joseph Yoon on July 11, 2012
Also, I received my books, and they're glorious. Thanks to the giant.
Creator David Kotsonis on July 11, 2012
Got my Print Only Special yesterday and devoured it (not literally). It was lovely to finally understand the allusions to Right-Eye and other background information, but my absolute favorite was SS&DT. That book was awesome.
I intend to start buying up the compilation books soon. Thanks for making such a great strip!
Creator Joseph Yoon on July 11, 2012
Don't take this in the wrong way, but I can see where the inspiration for Nale's (and his mother's) penchant for elaborate graphs came from.
