Reward Zone
Whoops! Running majorly behind today, team, so I'll keep this post brief. But there's a couple of things I should definitely mention!
1) The Sam and Fuzzy Kickstarter continues to kick butt! We're creeping pretty close to our fourth stretch goal... and if we hit it, beloved fictional canine leader President Dog (yes, THE President Dog himself) has agreed to write a special afterward to Volume 5 and provide some newly designed VOTE DOG bumper stickers for all our "gilded" bonus packs. And there's more stretch goal bonuses lined up after that, should things keep going this well. 12 days to go!
2) All our December Patreon rewards are available now! All backers can vote for this month's bonus art pieces, Extra backers can download a new issue of our monthly behind-the-scenes e-mag, and Secret Art Vault backers can view a bunch of new sketches, some new desktops backgrounds and PSDs, and a couple of slightly-more-scandalous-than-usual pin-ups. Enjoy!
That's a wrap for this week! I'll return on Monday with a new comic and a delayed-but-proper round of Q and A. See you then!

Eyepods
Some of you may recognize the eyepods -- and a lot of other stuff in this story -- from the Underground RPG gamebook that we made back in 2015! The guidebook and enemies sections gave me a chance to seed a lot of little previews for elements of upcoming stories. (That was a big part of the fun of the project!)
In other news, the new Kickstarter has cleared stretch goal #3! That means both our paperback and hardcover versions of Volume 5 will now contain a bonus chapter full of author commentary and concept art. (There will also be similar sections ad to the Hardcover versions of 1-3, since those three books didn't have any in their original paperback form.) Up next on the stretch goal spectrum are exciting President Dog bonuses and some luxirious cloth bookmarks for our hardcovers. Wish us luck!
We return on Friday with a new comic and a new round of Q and A. (If you've got a question you'd like me to answer, just tweet it at me or pop it in an email with "Q and A" in the subject line.) See you then!

Kick It
The new Sam and Fuzzy Kickstarter rages on, and I am very proud and excited and generally full of energy about it!
Backers have already crushed our spot gloss and bonus e-artbook stretch goals, and are now chipping away at a trio of potential new additions: author commentary and concept art, a special afterword from President Dog (with bonus Vote Dog bumper stickers), and luxurious cloth bookmarks and silver ink for our hardcovers!
I am very excited these bonuses are even on the table. Getting to do stuff like this is why I love the Kickstarter process so much... the support of backers actively improves the product being made for them. It is a good system and it is going to result in some stupidly pretty books. Check 'em out, if you haven't already!
All right, team! We return on Wednesday with our next comic. Be here or be square!
