Update #7: And time is up!

Posted on November 5, 2009

That's it. Our pledge drive has officially ended. We raised $1,200 to help cover the printing and shipping costs of this mini-comic. Thank you **so much** to all the backers. You should be getting more information from me and Kickstarter very soon.

In celebration, here is the cover, as designed by the amazing April Wenzel --

Today, I'm visiting some print shops to get estimates and find the best deal possible. I'm also adding more indie-friendly retailers to my spreadsheet -- and mailing a promotional flier. Busy, busy, busy.
