Update #9 · Dec 17, 2012 · 1 comment

We did it! 

Backers Rebecca Jane Weinstein (who currently has a book funding on Kickstarter that I'm about to back) and Andrew Farago (who bleeds comics as Curator of The Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco) pushed us over the top.

Thanks to you, after three plus years, we are now finally able to enjoy the moment of knowing that this book will be made. Our sincerest thanks to all 369 of you for making this possible. 

And we've still got 6 days to go!

We'll be back with more updates, art peeks and whatnot soon! But for now...

Thank you,

Joan & Shannon
