Hey, friends! The BackerKit is now live, which means each of you should have gotten an email to fill out your surveys!
Basically, BackerKit will show you what you've already pledged for and then:
- If you've put extra money in for add-ons, it'll let you specify what add-ons you want
- If you want to change your tier, it'll let you do that
- If you want to add extra items to your order, it'll let you do that!
- It'll let you see examples of each item so you know which you want for your rewards!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact support!
Some other important things:
So, unfortunately the shipping date has been pushed to April to accommodate the longer printing time. But luckily, the book will be sent off to the Printer very soon! As soon as I have everyone's names (or as soon as the survey ends on the 31st), I'll be able to send the file off. So get your names in soon!
ALSO!
If you didn't get a chance to back the Kickstarter (or your friends didn't), fear not! There is now a Pre-Order store open via BackerKit! Feel free to spread the link around!
I'm really excited, you guys!!
FUNDED!

You guys ... I can't even express how amazed I am at what you all put into this. THANK YOU! Thanks to all of you, AND some PayPal contributors, AND an extra pledge raise after the campaign completed, we... hit... $12,000!!!!
The sum total of this campaign is the following:
- A ~90 page book with French flaps and spot UV on the title, including 20 pages of concept art and 10 pages of fanart!
- a 10-card TSSSF minipack, including 3 Kickstarter-exclusive cards with beautiful art by Jayelle Anderson, Ashley Nichols, and Christina Cornford!
- 3 sticker sheets to choose from, INCLUDING the popular-vote-awarded Henry the Police Dog sticker sheet!
- 3 charms to choose from, INCLUDING the adorable gift-bag charm! Since Henry won the popularity poll, the character in 2nd place gets to be in the gift bag: Tamberlane!
- 3 prints to choose from, designs all chosen by fans like YOU!
I'm going to be conducting all the surveys etc through BackerKit, which will help me keep all this straight AND be useful to you guys! You'll be able to:
- intuitively manage your add-ons by "spending" your Kickstarter total in the "store"
- update your shipping address whenever you need to
- see cool pictures of everything before you buy
- switch tiers, up totals, or even back the Kickstarter if you hadn't already
There have been some requests for additional add-ons to be made available as supplies last: the witch Belfry charm, the Halloween Tamberlane stickers, and bundles from my previous webcomic, Walking on Broken Glass. These will all be made available in the backerkit store.
I just need to finish the art for these things and get the Backerkit all kitted out and organized. Expect it sometime next month.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans and just happy, amazing day to everyone else. I'm SO grateful to you guys for your support, your enthusiasm, and your unwavering optimism. LOVE YOU ALL! NOW GO EAT TURKEY!

AMAZING! You guys are amazing!!!
Some updates! There will be ONE EXTRA CARD in the pack, with art by Jayelle Anderson of Anaria, for a total of 8 CARDS IN THE MINIPACK! I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS YOU GUYS
The next stretch goal has unlocked! It's a new charm design available to choose from! The plan for the design is to take advantage of the clear acrylic to have it be like you have the character in a little decorative plastic bag hanging from the keychain. :D (I know the silhouette isn't great, but I don't have a finalized design quite yet! Soon though!!)
I'm SO EXCITED, YOU GUYS!
THIS IS SO COOL!
The HOME STRETCH!!!!

With just over a day left, we're shooting toward the TSSSF goal but we're not there yet! Please, keep sharing the link with people you think would enjoy the comic! We're just over $1,000 away and it's awesome!
In the meantime, this is a little reminder to participate in the final sticker sheet poll if you haven't already! http://www.strawpoll.me/11683728 It's been very interesting watching the results and it's looking like I might end up having to do multiple sheets if it keeps being neck-and-neck like this!
At any rate, as always, thank you so, so much for your amazing support. We're KILLIN this, guys!! :D

With only 2 days left on the Kickstarter, it's a good time to post a preview of the final print!
I haven't done the shading yet, as you can see, but I'm very excited about this one! Only $2500 to go until TSSSF cards -- let's smash that $10k goal!!
