So after my meeting with the tax advisor, we've figured out a (legal and ethical) way to defer any tax payments on the Kickstarter funds until next year, so it's safe to say that income taxes will not need to be factored into the Book 1 budget now, which is awesome news.

We're getting down to the final week in the fundraising period now! Last chance for people to join the Club of Awesome and get free copies of the eBooks, a copy of the book reserved in their name, an exclusive T-shirt, cameo appearances, and of course access to all the backers-only bonus material! It won't just be the strips from the upcoming book — I'll be doing some other special stuff, too. But after December 11th, you won't be able to see it unless you've already pledged!

Below (at the Kickstarter Updates page, anyway), you can see a work in progress of the Breakfast Club parody poster that will be featured on the exclusive T-shirt (for $50 backers and up). It's very much unfinished; there will be a lot more detail going into it as far as patterns on the clothes and lighting — and at least a couple of the characters will have more '80s-style hair.
