Update #9: Plan B
Well, we came a long way together on this Kickstarter Journey.
Despite everyone's generous pledges, we did not reach the goal on July 4th.
But do not mourn. Rejoice!
I have decided to press onward and so you can still donate and receive your chosen reward!
Behold, PLAN B!

Thank you so so much for your encouragement and support - I am really looking forward to making some fun comics for you :-)
SO MUCH LOVE,
todd!
Update #8: 35 Hours
Well we made it this far!
There are just over 35 Hours remaining until the deadline.
Maybe a bunch of people will donate last minute style.
I want to thank everyone who has pledged so far, and let you know that in the event we can't reach the Kickstarter goal in the next 35 hours, I will have a "Plan B" for you all which will enable us to move forward with what we have and get you your rewards, and me some time to draw!
That said, I am still hoping we make the goal somehow!!
I will be at work all day the next few days, starting in a few minutes, so I wanted to take a sec and write this little update.
Tell everyone you know that there's only a day left for Nicolas Cage! The Comic Book Experience!
And as the clock ticks down, I will leave you for now with this, one of my favorite episodes of Pete and Pete, the aptly titled 35 Hours:

Update #7: PAGE THREE!
I made a video update at two in the morning, and worked on it til about three, and my computer won't let me export the video file. It worked the other two times I made videos, so I'm not sure why it is acting that way now, but I wanted to post this link to page three anyway. If I can figure out why my computer is hating me I'll post the video update asap. But for now, here is page three!
We have 21 days til project deadline! Please back this project - I promise to make AWESOME COMICS!
Update #6: PAGE TWO!
Okay!
Happy Memorial Day!
Had the day off so I went to the coffee place, got a frozen drink, and drew another sample page!
I was playing with a few different ideas but decided to just run from where we left off on the first one.
If I can spare a few more minutes tonight I'm going to attempt to shoot a video update, so I can share some sketches and the like with you guys.
Also, I'm planning on making some banner ads so we can get the word out easier - there's just over a month to go before the deadline!
Anyway, thanks so much to those of you who have backed this project already!
More to come oh so soon!
love,
todd!
Update #5: HOLEY SOCKS!
We passed $800 today!
I am so excited about this project!
Keep spreading the word to everyone you know - it is starting to pick up steam and escape out into the world! I wanted to share a few Nicolas Cage! The Comic Book Experience press links with you:
SHORTFORM BLOG - Project Worthy Of Kickstarting
COMIC BOOK RESOURCES - He Had Me At Nicolas Cage
Also this Sunday night I will be recording a podcast for Tales From The Parents Basement who want to discuss Nicolas Cage! The Comic Book Experience! That should be a lot of fun.
In closing, I just read moments ago that in addition to hosting over 300 elaborately framed comic book covers, the walls of the breakfast room and two bedrooms in Nicolas Cage's home also sport model train sets on raised tracks below the ceilings. Nicolas Cage is AMAZING.
Let's make a comic book!

Adrian Todd Webb lives in Virginia, not far from the ocean. He likes monsters, the sunshine, and breathing air. Over the past decade he has had work featured in publications for JC Penney, Focus on the Family, United Way, on the popular music blog Daytrotter, and was a regular contributor to Nickelodeon Magazine. He is the creator of the books The Goldfish and Bob, Valentine: A Cautionary Tale, and Tuesday Moon. His cartoon journal, Casual Poet, has evolved from a daily drawing experiment into an ongoing rumination on the joys of living, and he is knee-deep in the aptly titled long form comic strip Reading War & Peace, in which he chronicles his life while reading War & Peace. Webb also performs music as both Seamonster and Fox Hands, and most recently has joined forces with Apples in Stereo front man Robert Schneider to create Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine - a record/comic book combo for children.
