Another big batch of books went out today and we're getting closer to wrapping up.
Thank you all again for your amazing patience and kind support! It's still a one-man operation, I'm taking every precaution in packing up the loot and I'm social distancing as I drop these off at the post office. I hope that slow and steady will win this race!
Thanks again to everyone who let me know your packages arrived.
Some of the packages have taken months to navigate through the mail. The US Postal Service seemed to be buckling at the end of 2020 and is still pulling itself together. I mailed a few replacements only to have the originals arrive after-the-fact. The supporters tell me that those extra books have found good homes. :)
I really, really hope you love the books!
If you haven't received a tracking number yet, you should get one in the next couple of weeks. The next big post here will be the news of me taking the last box to the post office. :)
I hope you're safe and well and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll respond promptly!
Youare the best and I couldn't make these silly comics without you! <3
I briefly paused shipments ahead of the US elections as the post office was already swamped but now I'm back to daily shipments! I'm still being cautions about not getting sick.
Big thanks to everyone who let me know they've received their loot! I really appreciate the kind words!
Here's a look at some of the latest doodled bookplates...
I hope you're safe and well and I hope to have all these books out the door soon. :D
Be sure to use your Kickstarter account's e-mail address (presumably the same one which told you about this update) and use the coupon code "waddle" at checkout!
The print copies of the Waddlebottom vs. The Hecklord short comic book arrived!
They turned out great! If you backed the first campaign, you'll be getting a print copy with your loot. If you missed the Kickstarter for Volume One and want to get a copy of the printed Waddlebottom book, there's still time!Just become a supporter of Patreon before September 30and I'll add a copy of the book to your shipment! And if you already got your loot, I'll drop an individual copy in the mail. :)
The books are only eight pages long but the paper quality is amazing! They stand up! :D
I took another photo of the book and my editor photobombed it. :)
Thank you again for your amazing support! I hope you and yours are safe and well!
I can't want for you to get your loot!

Update: Waddlebottom and Webcomic Shop Talk

Hi! I hope you're safe and well!
Orders continue to ship out and I have an update for everyone who supported the first Kickstarter and/or added the Waddlebottom short comic to their order!
The short comic story is nearing completion. If you follow me on social media or my public Patreon posts, you've seen multiple early starts over the past year but the story is now wrapping up. Each day this week, I'm posting a page and outtakes to Patreon and when the story is done, I'll be making the PDF version available to ALL backers of the first two Kickstarter campaigns. :D
Here's a sneak peek at some of the art...
You can follow the work in progress with a new page each day on my Patreon.
Again, every Kickstarter backer will get a copy of the final PDF and backers who supported the first campaign or added it to their order will get a printed copy in their loot!
Webcomic Shop Talk
I know many of my supporters are working and aspiring cartoonists. I've started putting together some Webcomic Shop Talk videos over on YouTube. If you're interested in learning about my process or just want to watch me fumble around in front of a camera, consider subscribing to my fledgling YouTube channel. This is my first video of this type and I'm learning a lot about the basics - like looking at the camera : ) - so please be kind. :)
Look for another update soon with PDF downloading details!
