Please let me know when they have been sent. Thanks!
Wow. Sorry it took me so long to notice this message. Yes. Please send both to the same place. Same package is good too.
Let me know if you just want me to pick it up.
Hmm...I never got an email. And surveys haven't been sent. Am I missing something?
Hi George,
I see both of your pledges at $10. Is it OK to send both copies to the same address in the same package?
Sigh, I just mentioned being a teacher AND misspelled "received." How embarrassing.
I just got the email to confirm my address for my comic. I just wanted to make it known that I only recieved one email, while I actually pledged twice on the same day. I wanted a second copy to the school I was teaching at. I hope that this will be cleared up. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
Congratulations! We've shared the new page on The Solipsistic Me to help spread the word.

Thanks again for this wonderful project.
Robert & Michael
Thank you to everyone who pitched in and brought us not only to our $3000 minimum, but to our $4200 total printing bill! I've been in touch with the printers and am scheduling the print run now; we will be able to produce more than 3000 full-color copies of the book to distribute to at-risk kids.
I've launched http://thepowerwithin.org with a link to submit your info for your local youth organizations that would like to get copies of the book.
There will be more news as we determine the date that the book will be available. Backers will be the first to see it!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on exceeding the goal!
Woo-hoo! Nice to see people still pitching in after the original goal was met. Congratulations!
Robert
I put out the plea for a bit more so you can do more. It's amazing that you've made the first goal!
Cheers,
Mike
We're thrilled that we made our goal! :-D
This brings us to about 2/3 of our printing bill (about $4200 for 3000 copies); I wasn't sure that we would be able to raise that much, so I set a lower goal, but people really came through!
I'm going to keep pushing for more support in the final hours before our Kickstarter deadline. Please keep spreading the word and let people know that we still need support!
Whoo hoo! only 54 hours to go and you've made your goal! Shows you the power of co-operation! Those Sesame Street shows from my youth were correct.
Upped my pledge and tweeted about it...so close now!
Thanks Regan!
Happy to help you out, Zan! It's the least I can do to return the favor the help you gave me about 6 years ago :)
Thanks so much, Robert, Mike and Adam! We're in the home stretch!
Following Mike's lead and sending out some last minute pleas for support.
Up'ed my pledge and put a plea on FB again. This is too important not to give more. (Lived it.)
Cheers,
Mike
Good luck on the homestretch! We've posted a reminder on our blog, too.
