The Money Fountain
Just one last update as we head into the final 24 hours of the Goats Kickstarter.
You guys are unstoppable. We just hit $47k, which means you'll all be getting free black-and-white Goats ebooks (the silver "classic" books) and brand-new stickers for those of you receiving mailed reward packages. Care to go for $50k? ;)
I'm starting to figure out just how much work I have ahead of me (hint: a lot), securing quotes for USB drives and such, prepping book files, designing things that need designing. I should probably get some acrylic paints too, I have something like 13 paintings to paint! And a minicomic to draw, and a website to build... this stuff should keep me busy for a while.
Oh, and did I mention I'll be going to Australia to hand-deliver some books? Crazy.
This Kickstarter has been one of the best experiences of my comicking career, and I recommend it to anyone thinking about giving it a go. And I have all of you to thank for it. So thank you! Thank you for making all of this possible. I started this thing looking to see if there was any interest in the return of Goats and you spoke LOUDLY. It feels good, lemme tell you. Thank you thank you thank you again.
I'll be sending out the surveys to get your preferences and info in the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
