THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! (Repeat)

posted on January 20

A few days ago, you people (Yeah! YOU people!) made two independent artists pretty much the happiest two people on the planet (maybe even OTHER planets)!

Not only did we reach our pledge goal, but we filled out our highest reward (Exciting!) and we were KICKSTARTER's Project of the Day (it just so happened it fell on a weekend with a holiday, so we were Project of the Day for like 3 days)!

We really can't thank you guys enough, so we went to one of our neighborhood shops and shot this little thank-you video for you guys. These are not actors (which becomes pretty obvious, you could make a drinking game out of how many times I look off-camera in these videos)!

We still have a lot of time left for this project here on Kickstarter and any extra funds we get we will use towards attending more conventions and the publication of issue #3! So please keep spreading the word, because you know we will be!

Again, thank you guys, you're the bee's knees!

    POPGUNPULP Comics says: PS. I'm hoping the quality of the video will improve on its own. It might still be encoding.
