It feels as if it were ages since the latest comic, but we’ve been working on all measure of comic related follies. Rest assured there will be some titillating bonus comics in the coming weeks.
The biggest development is we have met our original five thousand dollar goal on Kickstarter, for which we are eternally grateful. The Tigerbuttah Golden Book is now guaranteed production! However, we choose to show our gratitude in strange ways. Namely, we are still looking for more pledges!
You see, I severely underestimated you all. I expected it to take months for us to potentially reach such a goal. More likely it was going to involve us begging family and friends to get us over the top, if we got there at all. No such begging was required as everyone was incredibly forthcoming with their pocketbooks. I was taken aback.
Instead it took us a mere two weeks. This fortnight mostly involved me giving loud and cheerful updates throughout each day to everyone within ear shot. With two months remaining, we have decided to set a new goal for an additional two thousand dollars, which will enable us to print another thousand books. This brings the cost of production down enough to get it into a number of retailers as well as into libraries.
The upside to the readers of this comic is that pledging 15-20 dollars will be the cheapest way to receive the Tigerbuttah book, as in the future we will be applying additional shipping costs.
We thoroughly appreciate the moral and financial support you have bestowed upon us. I am getting teary just thinking about it.
You may have noticed a lack of updates recently! This is because we are working on pieces for a gallery show in Mooresville, North Carolina. Sadly, neither of us can attend the opening as we are in New Zealand, but if you wanted to go along. If you are in NC, drop us an e-mail.
The opening is 7pm on Saturday December 12th at the Hart Beat Gallery (148 Lugnut Lane, Unit 101).
It is a sequential gallery show, a 6-page storybook about a little donkey and a cowboy. There are also 3 smaller bonus pieces that I finished last night. Hope those of you in the area can get along to see it!
Also here is a quick painting of Hopscotch to tide you over till the new pages arrive:
It has been a week of guest fun for us. Please peruse our latest Penny Arcade guest offering. It is a little more risque than our usual material, so proceed with caution (all tomfoolery is in fact implied, do not worry too much).
We have a guest strip we did for PvP Guest Strip, with a Penny Arcade one coming sometime this week also. We will have a new comic on Tuesday morning for you all. Sorry we’re still on “crazy medical problems” time. Yes, it is a real timezone.
Howdy friends! We spent most of this week working on guest strips for Penny Arcade and PvP, which is a dream come true for us.
In our absence here, I thought I’d put together a new Tiny Kitten Teeth mixtape. Let us know if you like it!
Thanks again,
Frank
