Mr. Plympton,
Congratulations about the sucess of the project!
But I ask you: please take care with the packages. I received some books of other Kickstarter projects very damaged by the postal service. Look, a lot of the backers are comics/art collectors and we like to receive our books and other products in perfect conditions. I will let these mesages in all the projects that I participated.
Thank you very much
Francisco Jacobina
Creator Bill Plympton on February 20
Gen - So just to clarify, you want the $140 package of rewards plus the "special thanks" credit, is that correct? I just want to make sure since the $200 tier does not include the signed DVD, but the $140 tier does not include the book. Please email us at cheatin@plymptoons.com with your preference. Thanks!
Creator Gen on February 20
Greetings - this may be a "feature" of Kickstarter. I backed for an initial $140, but then increased to $200 (honestly, to get a credit at the end of Cheatin' more than anything else - 1.5 seconds of fame, y'know?). But Kickstarter lists me at $140...
Hate to be greedy and all - but still hoping for a "special thanks" mention...
A loyal fan in any case - GM
Creator Bill Plympton on February 4
If you missed the Kickstarter campaign and still want to make a pledge, please email us at cheatin@plymptoons.com. Thanks!
Creator Alex Amelines on February 3
Massive congratulations Bill! Looking forward to see it.
Have fun!
Fingers crossed for some sort of launch event in London ;)
Creator Bill Plympton on February 1
rickd - We're working hard on the film. We hope to have it finished by end of summer. We'll keep posting updates. Thanks!
Creator rickd on February 1
And *this* hasn't turned out to be "One of Those Days". (one of my favorite short films...by that Plympton fellow)
Creator rickd on February 1
Holy cow! 100K! Coffee *and* donuts!! That is wonderful! Is it done yet?? LOL
Creator Frogacuda on February 1
Hooray! I just wish there were 3 more backers.
Creator Bill Plympton on February 1
THANK YOU ALL!!!
Creator Alexis Perron on February 1
Congrat on reaching the 6-digits funding, Bill!

Creator Bill Plympton on February 1
Eugen - That's so cool! Thanks for sharing.
Creator Bill Plympton on February 1
Thanks, Charlie! After the Kickstarter campaign ends today, we'll start to post bi-monthly updates. We've just had so much exciting news and made a lot of progress over the past few weeks and wanted to share it with all our Backers to thank them!
Creator Alexis Perron on February 1
Go, Bill, Go!
Creator eugen sasu on February 1
CG Society is running an article about Kickstarter and the great projects funded and "Cheatin' " is one of the projects featured... http://www.cgsociety.org/index.php/CGSFeatures/CGSFeatureSpecial/kickstarter
Creator Charlie Ballard on February 1
Hey Bill! Absolutely astounded by this process and the fact that someone who I spontaneously came to adore one late night in 1994 is so friendly and open and yet talented enough that it looks like they're going to end up making an amazing movie via this new world we live in.
Funny, if there's anyone who I'd think could create an incredible, animated version of Kickstarter showing all these people across the country merging into new ideas supported by the creative geniuses responsible for creating the ideas, it'd be you. Kickstarter should really tap you to create a commericial for them.
Minor quibble: is there a way to create longer but less frequent updates? Looks like I've been getting a new update email every 1-2 days since signing up... maybe once a week would be okay? I don't want zero but would be nice to have time to look forward to the next. "I miss *missing you*." :)
Creator Bill Plympton on January 31
Haha! Please thank your wife for me! I can't wait for you both to see CHEATIN' later this year.
Creator Sean Mahoney on January 31
Wife finally convinced me to up my pledge to the $140 tier. We have both loved your work since we discovered I Married A Strange Person. I can't wait to see what is in store for us this time. Congrats on reaching your goals!
Creator Bill Plympton on January 31
THANK YOU ALL!!! I can't believe it.
Creator eugen sasu on January 31
This is great! Hats off to all that pushed this over the 90k mark!
Creator rickd on January 31
At last you can stretch!! Congratulations! Um...is it done yet?
Creator Anne Belov on January 31
Congratulations! you made it!
Creator Jose Luis Equiza on January 31
Bravo, Bill!
I'm glad to see these $90,000 acomplished ; D
My best wishes for your adventure
Creator Bill Plympton on January 31
Thanks! Less than a $1000 to go to meet our stretch goal! Keep pledging!
Creator Darva Campbell on January 31
Just saw the "Cheatin'" ad pop up on my FB page ... it's the first Writer's Cramp ad I've seen myself ... very exciting! You are SO going over the 90K mark! :-)
Creator Bill Plympton on January 26
Thanks, Yan. The signed DVDs will be region-free.
Creator Chelminski on January 25
Hey Bill!
First of all, congrats for hitting the goal, I hope that you'll be able to get few more bucks to do even more amazing stuff and avoid coffee shortage :)!
I'm sorry to bother you with that, but i have a small question: As one of your European fan, will I be able, with the right pledge, to get a dvd with an appropriate European region code?
That would be fantastic, because your films are quite hard to find in the right version over here, but I won't change my pledge anyway, I am glad to help you realise what will be another awesome movie for sure !
Good luck!
Yan
Creator Anne Belov on January 18
Huzzah!
Creator Bill Plympton on January 18
Thanks, David!
Creator David Mullins on January 18
Well Bill, I just had to do it....GOOD LUCK ..I will be following your lead with my own independent production soon. David Mullins 1,100th (Ireland)
Creator Bill Plympton on January 18
Thank you! :)
1,099 Backers! Who will be the 1,100th?!?
Creator Lucinda Lewis on January 18
So happy for you Bill! I'm thrilled this project will happen! I suspect that your darling little man was what brought backers rushing to the Pledge link! Congrats!
Creator Biljana Labovic on January 16
YAAAAY, BILL!!!!
Creator Brian Lucas on January 15
YES, YES!!! I'm really happy for you Bill...
Creator Bill Plympton on January 15
Thank you all for helping us pass our initial goal of $75,000! We still have 17 days to raise as much money as possible for P&A (prints and advertising).
Creator James Hancock on January 15
Congrats on hitting the goal with 17 days to spare. The movie is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it.
Creator S J Bennett on January 15
Looks like you've ticked over the $75k mark. Congrats! :)
Creator John Berger on January 15
I've been a fan for a long time. Glad to help to support this! Now I'm probably going to have "Your Face" stuck in my head until I go to bed.
Creator Matty on January 14
Hey Bill, I got ya backed! The watercolors look fantastic, I'm lovin' that blue/green kitchen visual.
I see the link/dvd will be sent before the film hits most european festivals. It will be very hard not to watch it yet, tempting as it is, but I want to experience Cheatin' with an audience on the big screen the first time ;)
Cheers & a happy 2013 to you, your family & studio
- Matty AKA "#59 - Inside out Sneeze"
Creator Anne Belov on January 14
OK, I'm in!
Creator Bill Plympton on January 13
Jose - Thanks for your long-time support of my work. CHEATIN' is like a silent film noir movie. There is no dialogue to translate. The musical score and sound design become the "voices" in the film - making this a very accessible film around the world.
Creator Bill Plympton on January 13
Only about 4K to got with 18 days to go!
Creator Bill Plympton on January 13
Sam - I tweeted about your Kickstarter campaign! I hope it helps!
Creator Jose Luis Equiza on January 13
Hello, Bill
I'm a old fan of you and I discovered your caustic humor in the good MTV times, like many others. Later, I've seen your films and shorts, at home, cinemas, TV and the Horror and Fantasy Film Festival in San Sebastian (Spain).
I would want to ask you for english (at least) subtitles in the DVD, for dialogs and songs. I suppose at this early stage of the production it will be easier to make the subtitles from the script. Your "international" DVDs don't used to have subtitles, and the non english-speaking fans would want to enjoy the full experience of your feature. Thanks in advance and kind regards.
Creator Brian Lucas on January 12
Amigo, you're close to your goal. I know you're going to make it...
