We did it? We did it!!
You guys. My god. You guys.
I love you all so much. We had no idea that we'd actually hit all these goals. In one month, we've raised over $700,000 to not only create a fully-independent animated show, but hit EVERY SINGLE stretch goal we set out. Seriously, thank you.
We've got a LOT of work ahead of us, but we are so incredibly excited for it.
And if you can make it, PLEASE come to our livestream tonight, 7-10pm central (5-8 PST, 8-11 EST) so we can thank you in person and draw you a bunch of silly doodles.

And again, from the bottom of our hearts, seriously THANK YOU.

*claps*
Creator Glenn Scroggins on March 17
This is the best use of a $100 I've spent in a LONG time! I would pledge more if I could! I can't wait for my awesome stuff and the awesome videos! C&H rocks! :)
Creator Jan Arthur Blomvik on March 17
Btw. CET for the livestream is 01-04.
Creator Travis Hill on March 17
If I supply the ostriches, would you guys at least joust until one of you is unconscious?
Creator Kane Martin on March 17
I'm proud to be a part of this, and I'm sure everyone else is too.
Creator Peter Jacob on March 17
^_^ We love you too guys.
Creator Sami Oja on March 17
What do you mean "every stretch goal"? We still have 8 hours to see you joust to the death! :D
Creator Jan Strojil on March 17
Congratulations guys. I'd love to see your livestream, but I have this rule that everytime anyone with an international audience gives a time in PST, EST, or any other US time, I just can't be bothered. Sorry, I love you, but it's a matter of principles. Please, for the sake of your non-US fans, next time, add GMT to the parentheses. It's a small thing but it will show that you really care.
Creator Marc Arcens on March 17
This is so awesomely awesome ! Now you'll have to transform our money in even so more awesome awesomeness !
Creator Joel L Walsh on March 17
Not all the stretch goals i want my joust to the death

Creator Agenttrap on March 17
Maybe now there will be a joust to the death? :P
Creator Michael Mutarelli on March 17
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creator Himpo on March 17
I think the jousting goal may be anything between 701k to 999k since there are only ???-question marks, but I bet if we would next hit 1M they would eventually say the goal was 100M, since they played it safe! ;)
Creator Andreas Aronsson on March 17
Haha. I just watched your backer video, realied... I hadn't done that, I just instantly backed when I saw this on the site... >.> works anyway! Congratulations on your kickstartstartersstartsstarterstartingstart!

Creator Joshua Dixon on March 17
1) Congrats on hitting all those goals! You guys have definitely earned it with all your hard work these past many years.
2) I feel like there's still one stretch goal left.
3) I have to work tonight during the livestream. Is there anyway to see that later? Or does it just suck for those of us who miss is.
Creator Mitchell John Mueller on March 17
YAY! We did it! We all get what we want... :') beautiful

Creator Brian Schumacher on March 17
Glad I could help. Also I like Mark's idea about a making-of documentary.
Creator Taurai Mhangami on March 17
Wow, I remember when i pledged I thought it was going to tough to hit the $250k mark!!! So glad to be part of this awesome journey. Can't wait for the episodes.
Creator Philippe A on March 17
When should I tell the renaissance fair guys to drop of the mutton FOR THE EPIC JOUSTING!?
Creator Lukas Hempel on March 17
Didn't think we could pull this off but we did.
Great community!
Now there is only one thing left to ask:
When will the shorts start? I can't wait!
Creator Michael Parker on March 17
Congratulations guys!
Creator Quentin Evariste on March 17
You still have room for a stretched goal at 725k !
Like, a Super-Jerk Halloween costume for every pledge of 60$ or more ?...
Creator Mark on March 17
You should have a making-of documentary stretch goal... now THAT would be interesting to see.
Creator TheChosenOne on March 17
Perhaps at $750k wecan get some PSA videos? :)
And any extra beyond that is for security funding.
Creator Clinton Weir on March 17
From the bottom of our farts to the bottom of your hearts, you're very welcome.
I won't be able to make it to the lifestream owing to a previous engagement, but I'll be glad to post-attend it if/when it is uploaded to the intertubular superwebway.
Creator Taylor S. Marks on March 17
Just one question: when will our year of shorts begin airing?
Creator Matt Sims on March 17
How much more until the joust?
Creator Neil Bailey on March 17
Any chance of a new $800k stretch goal? something realistic?
Creator Mark on March 17
There are still 10 hours left... make another stretch goal!
Creator Tajuddin Bin Azmi on March 17
gratz guys. You know, i'm sure i speak for most, if not all, of us when i say when you have that much money you just have to just lay it all on the bed and roll around in it for a while before actually working it into the episodes.
If you do go for it, i demand a video =x
Creator Patrick Lenihan on March 17
I realize u said that i hit all ur goals, but theres still one left
Creator David Leduc St-Arnaud on March 17
