One Week In...
Hi folks. Just wanted to post a quick update to thank everyone for making the first week (or so) of this project so incredible. Just 8 days in and we're already 97% of the way there. Really unbelievable and inspiring to me. Thanks to everyone who pledged and / or passed the info about this project on to others. Keep re-posting / re-tweeting / forwarding - even though we're almost to the goal, I've got plenty more rewards to go around, so the more people who want to be a part of this the better! Still 50-plus days to go until funding ends and the writing / drawing / cartooning really begins...
Small bonus reward - whoever pledges the amount (however small) that pushes the total over the goal amount of $5000 gets an extra little drawing just for them, in addition to whatever reward they choose.
Thanks so much everybody. Keep spreading the word and keep checking this space for more. Oh, and follow me on twitter, if you're so inclined - twitter.com/jamietanner. Here's a quick little comic just for fun...
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Mere hours after posting this the amount pledged went up over the goal line. Just incredible - you guys are the best. Thanks to Lewis Winter for tipping it over 100% (and to all my other amazing backers)!
